You are responsible for your wardrobe, props, and product presentation, including any associated costs.
If you are a model, you must come with your make-up on, hair done, and, preferably, already wearing your chosen attire. If there is time, you may change your outfit once.
If you want to photograph perishable items, like dinner entrees, it is up to you to ensure it is ready and presentable at the scheduled time.
If you want to photograph a vehicle, please ensure it is clean (inside and out) before the scheduled time.
All props must be provided by you. If there happen to be props available at the chosen site, we can use those as well.
If you choose a location to shoot, such as your own home, be sure the area is free of clutter. Be aware of how presentable the background is and whether there are any items you do not want to be seen in your photos.

If you are selected for a free photo shoot session, you will work with Cara to choose a date, time, and location.
Please be advised that the shoot location is limited to a 20 mile radius of Ft. Lauderdale and to the hours between 9am and ending at 7pm.
In order to take full advantage of your time slot, you must arrive on time. An extension of your session will not be offered (e.g. if you your session is scheduled for 11am-12:30pm, it will end at 12:30pm regardless of when you arrive or the time it takes to get set-up).
If you are more than 20 minutes late, your free session will be forfeit and offered to someone else.
