Pressure wash driveways and sidewalks
Clean windows and mirrors.

What if the weather is bad on the day of my shoot?

If the weather is bad on the day of your scheduled shoot (i.e. rain, heavy clouds and the like) you will be given the opportunity to reschedule for the next available open shoot date.
