I'm an amateur photog and I've never really shot people before, but recently I was talking to one of my qt friends who happens to be an actual runway model and she agreed to go on a photo shoot with me. we have been friends for maybe a year now, but like not close friends. the problem is I don't really know what to do or expect. how do I make her comfortable is probably the most important thing right now. but also how long is a typical shoot? and how do I get started when I meet her? what are somethings I should prepare? feel free give give any top tips
pic kind of related: it one of my better works as photographer

She's agreed to spend some time with you, be grateful for that. Just be yourself, take some pictures, have fun and see how it turns out. If you try to turn it into a serious shoot with specific goals it will turn out rubbish.
If she's a model say something like "I don't usually shoot fashion or models or any of that kind of stuff so you have to show ME what to do"

Just go out with her and have fun, maybe few hours before the sunset so you'll have some 2deep4u lighting to work with and you'll know when to stop = can't see shit.
