Before The Shoot

Some Helpful Hints

To ensure that your photo session goes as quickly and smoothly as possible, please print out a copy of this list and follow our recommendations.

  • Notify Coppertone Studios with any special requests, order changes, or availability issues.
  • Think about your intended audience and the purpose of your photos. The more this is kept in focus, the more effective the photos will be.
  • Bring any special make-up, hair accessories, glitter, shoes, outfits, personal props, to either be used in your shoot, or to make you feel more comfortable.
  • Feel free to bring music to help you feel more adventurous, sexy, or relaxed. Or you can let us provide a selection.
  • If we are shooting at your location, do as much set up as possible before we arrive. Setup time counts against our billing. If you have questions as to what is required, CALL US (651-222-1329)!

What is Required for On-Location Shoots

If we are shooting at your location, we need you do as much of the setup as possible.

  • Make sure to clear any areas we will be using of distracting objects, unless you want them to be part of your shoot.
  • We will bring a selection of colored backdrops, but we cannot guarantee that they will work in all spaces.
  • For outdoor shoots, we cannot be responsible for any legal complications that arise from our using the location. Please make sure to obtain permission before using any location.
  • Please notify us in advance concerning pets and/or other animals at the shoot location. Unless you want your pets in the shoot, make sure that you have a place to store them away from the shoot, in case they are uncooperative or unruly.
