Default HELP Maternity Shoot!
First off, I'm a TOTAL beginner. I'm doing my first ever photo shoot of my sister-in-law this weekend. We're not really expecting the pictures to turn out that great but we're going to give it a try. I'm a normal point and shoot fujifilm camera. Really not that great quality.

with that said...any tips? I've got VERY little experiance and would love any advice I can get.

Hi Widabeck, welcome to the forum! You can take great photos with a point and shoot. The best thing to remember is have fun. As private said, do a search on flickr and/or google for "maternity portraits" and you should be able to get some great posing ideas. Good luck! Make certain you share your photos with us(if you are allowed to).
