Our365?

Our365 contacted me the other day to work for them. From my understanding I would be taking pictures of newborns in the hospital. Has anyone heard of our365? Have you worked for them? Can you tell me anything about them? I'm not sure if I want to take the job.

If you like to photograph babies, I imagine it would be the perfect job.

I have taken some pictures of babies, but not newborns. Also I am still very new to photography. I'm afraid I will mess up the portraits.

There is a time for everything, but if you are unsure of yourself, then don't take the job.

I find newborns to be cute, but they are so fragile. I am afraid I would break them, or my camera would break them.

I am sure your camera won't break them. And probably this job, since you are shooting in the hospital, I doubt you will be moving the baby. The mother will probably be holding the baby or it will be laying by itself.

True, has anyone here photograph newborns before? Any tips?

I have heard of Our365, only because this girl I knew on FB, she applied for a job through them, because her husband's ex, applied for a job and she didn't want the ex to get the job. It had nothing to do with the simple fact she wanted to photograph babies or even have a job. It's only because she didn't want the ex to get it.

This girl on FB, did get an interview on the phone, but turned down the job. I have no idea if the ex got the job or not.

I looked at their website... It seems they are legitimate. www.our365portraits.com/ and www.our365.com/

Next you need to ask them some questions. How will you be paid (commission?)? Do you find your own leads? Do they provide training. Are there other perquisites like health insurance, brochures or support. What does the contract look like? Does it come with a car or travel expenses? After the camera goes click who does the production and packaging?
