I have to do some portraits tomorrow. 13 of them, I'm not too excited about it. I enjoy photography, I've taken about a million product shots. But, taking pictures of people, throws me off a little. Any advice? How do I help these pepple relax? Any tips?

Time, normally I get my best shots towards the end of the shoot, they normally relax and losen up.

Lots of compliments, have a few jokes up your sleeve, hold up a squeeky toy or (have a group of funny photos to hold up randomly when u ned them to smile).

Thanks.
I am really sort of nervous about this, and I'm sure that will loosen the clients right up.
Keep them coming.

Again time.. its like any relationship try to work with them maybe a drink as well.. let them have some fun with it bbut don't get too carried away with it.
Also tell them your ideas.. people love it when they become part of the creative process... but don't let them take it over.
