My background in photography dates back over thirty years with most of my credits in senior high in graphic arts, and a majority of that time being spent in the darkroom. I am happy to announce I finally moved into the digital age around 2003.

[b] Cookies [/b] Will work for cookies -- I have recently found out that even cookies are taxable, so sadly I will now have to work for more cookies so I can give the Gov their share of the cookies.


[b] Wardrobe [/b]

If wardrobe is provided, typically it is yours to keep. With the following exception: Hats – I guess everyone has an obsession my cat's happens to be hats, and my life is hell if the hat doesn't make it home to her.


[b]Top 10 Do's and Don’ts before and during a photo shoot.[/b]

1. [b]Do show up on time.[/b] The MUA's I prefer to use are fantastic, and talented, and typically very short on time. They often rearrange their schedule on short notice to fit in a shoot.

2. [b]Don't apply any make up (foundation included) for the shoot.[/b] The MUA has his/her own line of make up and will just end up removing what you have applied.

3. [b]Do bring a robe, slippers, small towel to sit on.[/b] A drawback to being in the North is our sometimes lovely Northern weather. Being able to stay warm on outside locations is critical.

4. [b]Do bring something to drink.[/b] Water, pop, coffee, hot chocolate.

5. [b]Do bring something to snack on.[/b]

6. [b]Don't even think about eating that snack[/b] – you will mess up your make up.

7. [b]Do consider bringing an escort/chaperone. [/b]It's not that I am looking for free assistance , but chances are the first time we will meet is at the MUA studio. It's one thing having someone you don't know standing a few feet away from you taking picture, but having a second person you are unfamiliar with packing gear and holding reflectors can make a photo shoot uncomfortable – OK, perhaps it is that I am looking for free assistance.

8.[b] Don't wear anything tight fitting an hour prior to a photo shoot (unless it is what you are wearing at the shoot).[/b] This just saves on a lot of photo shopping or waiting till the seam-lines have disappeared.

9. [b]Do remind the photographer at the MUA studio to bring a camera.[/b] OK, so it's never been that bad but something(s) has always been forgotten for every photo shoot I can recall. A quick check at the MUA studio can save a lot of running around later on.

10. [b]Do have fun.[/b] Photography like any other art form is meant to enjoy. It is the encapsulation of time through imagery eternally, and the creation of a thousand word story with the click of a single button.
