What NOT to bring to the photo shoot. We always encourage people to bring only the essentials to photo shoots but we seldom tell them what NOT to bring. Here are a few of things.
1. NO CIGARETTES! There is a 99.9% chance that wherever we're shooting (particular indoors) has a non-smoking policy. Personally I'd prefer no-smoking that day (or week) because I personally have a seriously reaction to the smell of nicotine. I'm talking instant migraine just from people smoking in the car in front of me at a stop light. It's all windows up, AC off and holding my breath until the light changes (pray for a short wait). So we'd recommend wearing a patch or that special gum if you just have to have it. For other type smoke you better be passing and shooting at the same time😀. Lol! I didn't just write that did I? 😀
2. No personal jewelry. Your spouse will understand. You need NOT bring or wear your wedding ring, the special "mom necklace" with your kids on it or other personal jewelry unless it's apart of the shoot. Chances are on shoot day you're modeling other jewelry, not your own. Plus this way you don't stress about forgetting it. Leave it at home or in your purse before your arrive. Ever try to edit out a wedding ring because you want to focus on another ring your model is wearing? It's a severe pain. Trust me. LEAVE IT AT HOME!
3. NO PETS! If you're there to model or assist, you don't need the distraction of a pet. Believe me that unless your cute little new puppy is in the shot, the little critter needs to be dropped off at grandmas. Don't need a distracted photographer, MUA or model. Besides, we don't need the extra cleanup. NO you can't leave fluffy in your hot car either. If you have a pet lion we can probably work with that. Maybe... 😕 Just feed the ferocious guy first.
4. NO Kids. See #3. No we're not saying your cute kid is a pet by any means but same principles - Part of the shoot or stay at grandmas. Get a babysitter and a pet sitter. I hear some people do both.
5. Your BFF. See #3 and #4 If you don't feel safe then you either shouldn't be modeling or you shouldn't be working with this person at all. You don't take your BFF or your spouse or boyfriend to a job interview or to work with you everyday and his is no different. If you must ask or tell your team what you're doing before shoot day. No one like a weirdo fifth wheel sulking in the corner wondering when this will all be over. Also please don't leave your husband in a hot car either. That's just weird and so very wrong. If the moron is paranoid enough to sit in a hot car then you need to reassess your judgement being with this guy and your relationship. Are they your spouse or your master? Hey, it's your pathetic life. We're not judging. Lol!
