Please take few minutes to read & follow completely.

This is very important to me.

It will make us both more comfortable as well as our time together more pleasurable for both of us.


    * First & foremost always be a gentleman or
      Lady. I am respectful & polite to everyone &
      I expect the same in return. This also
      applies to when you call me or instant
      message me but especially when your in my
      presence.

    * Cleanliness is greatly appreciated. Please
      be freshly showered & have good oral
      hygiene. I want us to enjoy our time together
      as much as possible & I love the scent of
      a person who has freshly showered. Please do
      not use any powder & only a little cologne.
      Too much can be over powering & not much
      of a turn on.

    * Discussion of money on a first visit makes
      me extremely uncomfortable. Any attempt to
      discuss the offering or absence of payment
      for photo shoot & anything else you need or
      want done will result in me asking you to
      leave. The offering for my time is expected
      before the session begins, no exceptions.

    * My rates are non-negotiable. Please do
      NOT insult me by trying to haggle over the
      value of my time services.

    * Should you need to cancel for any reason,
      please let me know as soon as possible.
      When I set an appointment I have reserved
      that time for you & turned others away.
      My time is as valuable to me as I know
      yours is to you. So please have the same
      respect.

    * Respect my schedule. I may have other
      appointments before or after you. I make
      sure to leave myself enough time to
      prepare & straighten up my studio between
      appointments, but if you arrive very early,
      late or our session runs too far over its
      scheduled time, it can delay other appointments
      I may have. Call me if you are going to
      be late. Most of the time this is not a
      problem, but please do understand if we need
      to reschedule. I hate to watch the clock,
      so please have respect for my time & schedule.
      Each shoot is 2 hours approximately & no limit
      on outfit changes. So if your slow to change &
      we don't get many outfits shot then its not
      my fault & I will shoot you & do the best with
      as many photos as we can get in our time.

Borrowed this from TZ because it was so good & written by another hobbiest;
1. Do your homework on your desired photographer. Read their profile, read their posts, visit their website, read their reviews (mini & full).

2. Do not send PMs asking questions that are already answered in their profile or website. It wastes their time

3. Do not send PMs asking for services that were already listed as "don't" in their profile or website. It wastes time & it's irritating.

4. Do not try to negotiate a lower price. If a special is offered, fine. The photographer will be less customer service oriented for a bottom feeder. If the price is too high for you, find a photographer with a lower rate.

5. Don't make an appointment unless you actually plan to keep it. If your schedule causes a high probability of needing to cancel, make your appointment another time. (Give your fellow brother or sister the opportunity they have been waiting for.)

6. If you can't keep your appointment, call as soon as possible so the photographer can give another deserving soul your spot.

7. Show up on time. Call if traffic is going to make you late. You may be up against a time fence on the next appointment. The photographer may need to push the next appointment out a few minutes or give you the opportunity to reschedule.

8. For your own safety, travel light (your pockets). Bring nothing other than the absolute necessities & your payment. Check the area for any lurking people that may make your experience much less than perfect. If you feel uncomfortable, call the photographer, explain the situation & look for guidance or simply excuse yourself & seek safer ground.

9. Make sure you are clean (brush teeth, shower, use deodorant, etc.). If you think your odor might be too offensive, ask to use the shower. Bring however many outfits you want to take photos in & pack them neatly into a bag of some type or garment hanging bag so to prevent wrinkling.

10. Treat the photographer with respect. They are people too & deserve your consideration for the pleasure of their company. Make your time together as enjoyable for them as it will be for you.

11. Sometimes the chemistry just isn't there for you or them. It will probably not happen often but it could (especially if you look like the twin to last weeks "Americas Most Wanted" fugitive profile). If the photographer wishes to excuse you early, don't take it personally & just move on. If the chemistry is not there, the experience may not meet your expectations anyway, right?

12. If your time together does not go well, don't leave silently & then flame the photographer on the board. Call them, PM them or discuss the issue during the session. They are not mind readers. If they are good providers, they will listen to you & rectify the situation or make it up to you another time. Remember this community is not private. Before you write something detrimental to their reputation, be sure you have exercised the more private alternatives. If your efforts fail, share your experience in a mini or full review.

13. Be sure to share a positive experience with your brothers. The best ladies need to be recognized for their efforts.

14. HAVE FUN! Doing so will result in a better look from you in your photos. The more relaxed and at ease you are with us the better your shoot will go & the more great pictures we will get.
