You forgot the Visine ritual right after that Tyler.

I do "finger ups" to get my shutter finger warmed up and limber.

Don't want to be embarrassed by a cramp in the middle of a shoot; or worse yet, a career ending injury.

If its a model I haven't worked with before I'll start with just a single umbrella and flash an just some simple headshots/portraits while I build some rapport with him/her. after about 15 min or so of that i'll start moving on to more advanced lighting, different locations, etc. I think its really important to have a good report with your subject and you can't get that while your fiddling with 4 lights, backdrop, camera settings, etc.
