Some obvious things that you should bring are: Make-up, hair ties, hats, jewelry, glasses/sunglasses (here's a tip, don't wear your sunglasses right before the photo shoot, because you'll end up squinting in the photos from the brightness), or anything you'd like to use for a prop. More things that would be good to bring are, a small portable mirror, something to drink (the best things would probably be water or Gatorade) especially if you will be outside, and a little snack to keep your energy up throughout the photo shoot process.
Here's a list of things that a typical model packs for his/her photo shoot, not everything is necessary if your just starting out, but this could be used as a checklist.
- make up kit
- washcloth
- everything needed for the make up style you choose
- eye drops
- hair brush
- toothbrush
- sunglasses
- aspirin or anytime of medicine to help with out of the blue headaches
- hair styling products
- lotions
- scissors
- lent roller
- tissue
- bobby pins
- sun screen
- tweezers
- beverages
- and finally, makeup remover.

I do photo shoots regularly. When it comes to being a photographer I agree with a lot of these things, but I think one thing you forgot was a change of clothing, or multiplr changes of clothing.
