Before we meet for the session, we’ll have a quick call to break the ice and decide on the details. This is to get to know each other a little better and help you to feel more comfortable about your shoot and this will help us both! (It's for me too).
03.
The day of
On the day of the shoot, we’ll meet up and get to the location of the session. We’ll talk for a bit while I set up my camera; I may or may not be taking test shots or candids to get things going. This is just for you to see how good you look.
