Before the photo shoot you may want to review SOG portraits of couples for pose ideas (especially for what they can be doing with their hands, always an issue when I photograph someone!)
I find I can't do value studies until after I get the photos shot and have reviewed them to see which ones I want to show the client.
I typically show clients half a dozen face options and half a dozen body pose options. I make very sure before I do this that the faces will go with the bodies properly (same lighting, angles, etc.)
I only show them photos I would really love to paint, and not any that would be difficult because there might be stuff I'd have to invent or fill in. Those never get shown to the client.
For future reference: at the photo review appointment I have the clients literally initial the photos they choose, so there's no confusion later.
Have fun and let us know how the photo shoot goes!
