Assignments are completed and submitted prior to scheduling the photo shoots. The 3 shoots are done over one day and are scheduled once the assignments are completed.

What to bring: Your model and makeup kit. (A model can be provided for you for an additional fee paid directly to model). The model should arrive hair and outfit ready. This is a beauty shoot so just be mindful of what they are wearing for clothing and jewelry from the chest up. It is always recommended that the model bring a basic bandeau top. You can wrap them in a fabric or bring something that goes with the makeup look. Bring basic hairstyling tools/products so you can touch up the hair.
