Have fun & relax! Make like you're getting silly w/ your best friend in one of those photo booths - not saying be goofy, but let yourself have that same amount of fun and let go to show that to the camera.

Mike was my first shoot experience in 2007 - I wish to God I'd had a couple glasses of wine before doing it.. I had no clue what I was doing. I'm usually the one BEHIND the camera, not in front of it.

Thx ladies. I've been tanning for the last week n half, but I should prob a coat Fri night.. I have Jan Tana, that work? I heard I should wear lots of make-up, well like stage make up.. your saying no? But I have plenty of outfits to bring:)

Wine... now theres a GREAT idea!! lol I'm French so I love my red wine:yep:

You can pretty much approach your date the same way you would a contest prep / contest day. Watch your water over the course of the day if you did a mini drop - basically no big changes in anything that would cause a response in your body.

Mike does good work - he'll walk you thru what he wants to get as a photographer - but like I said - for yourself, have fun! Its sort of a trick finding your best angles and all that (I think these are more things that we are more critical of ourselves about but as you do more, you'll find more of what you feel you "wear" the best.)

Relax and have fun. Mike's got a dry wit and can be a little quirky, but he's really fun to work with and does outstanding work. Good luck!

Quirky.. now theres one way to put it:)

Shoot went GREAT! It was a lot of fun. I really felt good about my condition, which really helped me to relax. Can't wait to see how they turned out!! Should be about a month he said, but I'll for sure post them for some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism:)
