What to bring?

Anything that will increase your comfort level:
Favorite music
A friend to cheer you on, etc.

Additionally remember appropriate accessory items such as:
Jewelry
Hats
Scarves
Make up
Hair clips, etc.

For child sessions, remember the things that make them happy:
Their favorite CD
Toys
Animal crackers, etc.

If you are interested in including props in your portrait, choose some personal items and bring them along. Personal items make your portrait much more meaningful than standard studio supplied props.

If applicable, bring other portraits that you have had taken or magazine tear sheets for pose / look ideas that you like.
