I have a standing policy that I don't sell photographs and I do not provide professional photography services. As a teacher, I don't want to risk conflict of interest or suggestion of any kind of impropriety.
However, I've agreed to do senior pictures for a special case. We have a Mexican student who is a senior. Her parents don't speak much English and are quite poor. The girl is developmentally disabled, but speaks better English than her parents. I'm going to do her pictures at 2:30 in the afternoon around the school. Keep in mind that we're a K-12 building (yes, we're small and rural). I'm charging $25 so the parents don't feel like they're getting charity. I'll apply it to a selection of prints of various sizes from wallets up to a nice portrait size for the parents.
I'm looking for some ideas on how to pose pictures. I suggested that she bring 2-3 outfits. I scouted around the building this afternoon. There is no pretty snow, but we do have a nice cedar bush, a sign, a bell from the old school, a playground, a tree row, a retaining wall, and the girl enjoys music. I want to do a good job for her. I'm not making money at this, but I do want to do a good job. I would love to get some suggestions!
Within the constraints I described, what suggestions do you all have for poses or creative shots?
