What to Prepare for & Bring to a Photo Shoot

*Experience with other photographers may vary but this is what I suggest.

1. Let's start with wardrobe.
Unless specific arrangements have been made in advance, the model(s) are responsible for bringing their own attire. For a better picture, talk to the photographer about the props being used so that you can possibly coordinate with the prop. If you are only planning on one outfit change (as an example), still bring another outfit incase of emergency. (spills, grass stains, etc... things happen)
Unless discussed with your photographer prior to the photo shoot, stay away from busy patterns in clothes and stick with the solids. For some pictures, patterns make the photo visually appealing, but first discuss wardrobe suggestions with the photographer.

 2. Props.
Most of the time, I supply the model(s) with props but it is encouraged that the model bring their own props as well. We may not necessarily use every prop, but it is better to have more props than needed than not enough. Talk with me about props if you have any suggestions or questions.

3. Appearance.
To keep each photo looking fresh and new, I suggest the female model(s) bring a few essential items.
-bobby pins
-hair ties
-makeup
-hairspray
-brush
-jewelry (not too flashy)
-glasses
-etc.

4. How to Bring All of this Stuff?!
Depending on how many outfit changes are planned for the photo shoot, I suggest the model(s) bring a small suitcase or a bag to carry clothes, props, and makeup. Please pack carefully and try to pack in a way to avoid wrinkles and lint.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or comments, please email me at mollymillsphotography@gmail.com. I'm happy to answer any of your questions. Thank you!
