Go prepared, do not be late, & most importantly have fun! Photo shoots can be overwhelming, especially if you're on a time limit & doing multiple faces.
Be prepared, make a list of all you need to pack (in your traincase) and do it the night before so you aren't rushing around and you don't forget anything, be professional, look professional, be polite and helpful, make sure you know where you are going to avoid being late, preferably know the makeup style of the photoshoot so you can prepare before hand and know what your'e doing- or at least have an image in your head so you can get straight into it.
Hope you have a great first shoot :) x
Sorry for the late reply and hopefully your shoot went really well. Everyone above has really great advice! I would like to add one thing, if the photographer isn't using a monitor (that everyone can look at) ask if they would mind your checking out his camera monitor after the first few shots. The camera sometimes picks up things that we don't see with the naked eye and this will give you a chance to fix whatever you need to.
