How to Make a Call Sheet
One of my LEAST favorite parts about photo shoots is putting them together and all of the administrative work that goes behind it. It's not easy to make sure that EVERYONE on your creative team is on the same page in terms of schedule, location, timing, etc.
I recommend using a call sheet to make things manageable. A clear call sheet outlines everything that your team and client need to make your photo shoot a success.

What is a call sheet?
A call sheet is an email or document used to inform your team on the logistics of the shoot. It consists of the when, where, and who they'll be working with.
What should be on a call sheet?
At a minimum, a clear call sheet should include:
The Photo Shoot / Project Name
Production Location
Production Date
Contact Information for How to Reach You
Who is Part of the Team
Production Timeline Throughout the day
Who should I send the call sheet to?
You should send out the call sheet to everyone involved in the shoot; this includes the client, makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, and modeling agency.
