When you meet with your photographer...

When you meet with your photographer...

what should you bring or have ready? I am meeting with mine for the first time next month and I want to be totally prepared. What do they normally ask? What should I be asking?

TIA, I'm clueless about this one!

Re: When you meet with your photographer...

how many shots do they typically take?
how soon will you get the proofs?
what are their prices for books?
do you own rights to pics so you can print on your own?
will they have an assistant?
what if you want them to stay longer?
what will they wear (maybe trivial but .. who knows)
do they have a backup photographer in case they have an emergency that day?
can you give them a must-take shot list?
are they more candid/photojournalistic?

In addition to those questions, also make sure you get the rights to the pictures. Sometimes photogs keep the rights, which means you can't print them on your own without having to pay them for each picture.
