Hello, I'm going to be attempting my first portrait-session this weekend with a female friend of mine. The use for the pictures is going to be a graduation announcement for her and some other pictures as well. I would love if someone could run down a checklist with me, some possible poses, some lighting do's and don'ts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ask them to bring in a change of clothes, make sure they keep to simple flowing outfits as this will help posing.
backgroud changes can be helpful though keep it simple.
a reflector can be helpful .

Reza, you haven't given enough information for anyone to give you a good answer. Is the shoot in doors? Outdoors? Are you using natural light, studio lights of flash? If indoors, are you using backdrops?

I don't have much experience with portraits, but I have learned that it is helpful for the subject to bring a friend. She/he can help with positioning reflectors etc., and can even be a second subject if there is time. Good luck my friend.
