Lessons Learned

Hi Lisa -

I have been learning a few lessons, after I went to do a photo shoot, and the lighting was poor, the child was hungry and tired, and not dressed appropriately, and his older brother kept wanting to butt in.

Turned out the mom really had her own picture she wanted me to work from, so she had not prepared for me at all.

What I have learned -

1. It's very important to discuss the physical layout, and, if possible see it ahead of time to control surprises. Or set up my own layout and have them come to it. In some childrens' cases, I think it would result in better behavior.

2. Discuss clothing choices.

3. Before even discussing these things, first send the client a procedures list so they will know what to expect.

I seem to learn things the hard way. The more professionally I treat this process and the most respect I ask for, the more cooperation I will get.
