The most important thing is for the colors to look similar to the colors on a print. Do I calibrate it using a standard profile amongst print shops?

It's hard enough to explain to the model how every monitor looks different, but this is not the first time she's done a shoot so I'm assuming her previous photos look fine. Then the problem is on my end ...

TIA
great first shoot!

here's my critique on improvement. The lighting is very flat. very high key without shadows makes it look photo booth-ish. move the key to an angle with no reflector or throw a backlight +2 stops opposite the key. Also there is a bit too much headroom, makes the model look short. cut it down or even crop the top of her head to give the allusion of height.

good luck!
