Hi, everyone. I'm glad that I found this place.
I'm from the east coast and am going to be taking family photos on the beach around 8 a.m. this weekend.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what equipment I should bring?
Here are some photos that I came across, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what equipment might have been used to take these photos.
The third photo from http://www.caughtonfilmphoto.com/slideshow_family.htm
Any from http://www.himephotography.com/Images/Galleries/Family%20Portraits%20On%20The%20Beach/index.html
I love the rim lighting in these... I'd love to attempt this kind of shot.

I don't have any professional reflectors, but I was thinking about buying a large poster board at the store and using that. However, I don't know if it's the best idea since it can blow away.
Also, is a tripod a must?
I'm going to be getting paid, but I don't know how much I should ask for because I've never done family photos before, and I don't want to disappoint. Do you think I should just ask her to pick her own price? I'd probably be happy with whatever she gives me, but please give me some price ranges if you have any idea about what I should charge. It's for someone I know, not just someone who randomly found me somehow. The family has never seen my photography before, either...
Any other tips for beach photography, please let me know! Thanks! =)
