1. If you booked a family shoot and you have small children, please bring water, snacks and favourite toys for the little ones. A hungry and angry child on the set can ruin all our plans. Kids can take with them, in addition, pencils and paper (the latter could be as well violently torn or gnawed at)), toys that make any sounds (preferably new ones), in general - anything rustling, ringing, knocking. All this will give us a significant head start and peace of mind for the youngest models, at least for a short time).
2. The same applies to animals, to whom you can’t explain what is “necessary” and “be patient”, they quickly get tired, they need breaks. Therefore, you can take their beds or just their favorite blanket, and something to chew and gnaw.
3. Finally, for your beloved self, you can record music on your phone (in most studios often there are loudspeakers for such purposes), which will help you relax and feel more confident. And drink a glass (no more!) of champagne for courage, if you drink champagne, of course) This will make your life much easier for the next couple of hours.
