We're going to have two births in the spring and I've been asked by both grandmothers (my sister, wife's aunt) to do artistic shots of the baby and parents. They are thinking about B&W shots on a black background with the parents wearing black. Then everything is done high-key. I've seen this done and when it's executed well, it looks great.
I have K10D, AF540, an older Pentax TTL flash, lots of lenses, 36" soft box, wireless flash triggers, and a black muslin background. I've started doing portraits in the last few months, but I'm looking for ideas for this one. Placement of lights, poses, settings, etc. I have a couple months, but I'm going to start experimenting now. If anyone has done anything like this, some pointers or web sites would be appreciated.
