Breaking down the portrait process

[Kent Curole]

This is a great topic which I believe could merit it's own section on SOG. Mary has already touched on great aspects of the thought process when conceptualizing and meeting with the client. I have a ton of question which will fit into this catagory but I'll try to keep one question per post.

My first questions have to do with travel to a client which is too far to drive. I've never had such a client and was wondering what might this trip entail.

What equipment and/or supplies would you bring:
a. If you were going to strictly use photos for the portrait?
b. If you were going also do a sketch of some sort?
