Hello all!

I have received a request to take pictures of someone's baby girl in time for Christmas, and I must admit I am more than I little intimidated by the prospect.

I have recently received a Canon EOS 40D, which I am still learning to use, with a 28-135mm kit lens. I have very little practise setting up backgrounds (although I realise that a white sheet will do) and I have no studio lights..or experience with them. There is, sadly, minimal natural light this time of year in Belgium.

Is there any way I can reasonably and competently pull this off? I have my doubts! But I hope you will be able to convince me otherwise. :)

Thanks in advance for your kind advice,
Stefanie
