2. Show your best sense of humor and mood, and keep it throughout the entire shooting.

3. Cooperate. If you feel misunderstood, be honest but very tactful. Always keep any conversation on a strictly business level between you and your photographer.

4. Do not let any criticism the photographer might give you hurt your feelings. He/She is an artist and a professional in his/her field and he/she is trying to get the best end results for both of you.

5. To have only one objective--great pictures--work with your photographer.

6. Look at yourself as a product, be warm but always professional.

7. Arrive with sufficient accessories. If ever in doubt, ask ahead of time. Be impeccably groomed. Have everything neat and ready for the camera: nails, feet, hair, make-up, accessories, etc. Remember, the camera is very critical and will call attention to anything that was neglected.

8. Let your photographer feel the most important. Voice compliments that you sincerely feel. There must be a good, easy feeling between you two to get the best results.

9. Do not forget to always clean up after yourself before leaving.
