Yes, I make sure my daughters are dressed appropriately, I make sure they brush their hair, wipe their faces clean, wash their hands, make them use the bathroom, and get them cups of drinking water. I set up the lights and desk and then I photograph the candy before it has been unwrapped. I turn off the thermostat so there are no loud furnace noises, tell my wife that we are filming so she either goes out or sits still. And I turn off my phone so it doesn't make any noises.
