WOW. that is hard to read! Drop the slang and use some punctuation. That would be a great first step.

After that...

There are really to many variables to give a good setting. Do you want the back ground in focus ot blurred? Do you have lights? How many models? Where will they be placed? Is it a indoor or out door shoot? What time of day is the shoot? You get the point. Give us a better description of what you want and what you have to work with. We can help a lot better with more info.

So, without that info...

Midday = worst possible time. Sun overhead = worst possible lighting. I'd pray for overcast.
Lotsa' luck with that! You'd best shoot some tests with a friend before the day comes & 3 models show up.

If this is your first time doing this, go out for a test run and see what kind of photo's you can come up with

Did someone hire you to take photos? Do they know that your so inexperienced? I mean not to be mean but are they relying on your photos to come out well?
