- Do your research. Know what you are expecting, and what your photographer has to offer. Look at samples, and talk to friends that have used different photographers. Having your portraits made with the wrong photographer for you can be a huge waste of your time and money.
- Make sure that you understand the information given to you by the photographer to avoid time wasting mishaps and misunderstandings. If you are doing an offsite session, do you meet him or her there or at the studio? If your photographer is in a different time zone, do you have the correct appointment time? Ask questions if you are unsure about anything.
- Arrive early for your session. This will give you time to orient yourself, and it also prevents you from feeling rushed or stressed. Stress will show in your portraits. Also, if your photographer is running ahead of schedule, they may be able to photograph you sooner.
- Plan your outfits, hair, and make up in advance.
- ) Plan the sequence of your outfits in a logical manner. For example: if you were planning on having your hair down for some and up for others, group the outfits with like hairstyles together.
- Go to the studio with your makeup and hair already done and dressed in the first outfit that you wish to be photographed in.
- Take photos that you like to show to the photographer so that he or she can get a good idea of what your style is, and can use your time most effectively to create portraits that you like.
- Girls, don’t bother with sheer nylons. They will not show, and will only waste your time putting them on.
