Will you help me?

So, my photography "business" has been spread by the word of mouth. Friends told friends, and this is my first serious task. The client has two separate occasions where she wants photos taken. The first is of her child. Whom is 2 years old, and she wants just pictures done. Next is their Christmas picture. My task is to get pictures of the kid outside, and playing and such. Couple needs. Props, ideas where to take pictures of her, and how. As in how should i put her body positioning? and where is a non traditional, but great place to take their Christmas picture? Also how much should i be getting paid? Just to let you know, these people are loaded. The mother looks like barbie, and the child is one of the most beautiful children i have seen in my life. I'll post the pictures on here, if the mom doesn't buy rights to them.

Here is a link to what i did for my friend.

IGNORE THE EDITED PICTURES. Ha, they weren't used. AND they suck. LOL.

i would take pictures somewhere where the kid feels safe and natral. like a fav park or room. and for props i would use toys and stuff. just take action shots of the kid playing or something, being held by their parents. kids are hard to position anyway so why bother. do they want picture that make people go "aww" or really stuck up glam shots of there 2 year old? i can only help with the first one. ya know.

As for the christmas photo. traditinal is usualy the best. snow and trees are the best. or beach and sunset...depending where you live. or you can have a photoshot on a couch or something.either way you cant really do to much with a christmas photo.

oh and i love you photos by the way they are excelent. good job
