I'm not ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille

How do I get through a photoshoot when I don't like having my photo taken?

I have a photographer friend who really wants to bring me in to his studio for a photoshoot. I've turned everyone down who's wanted to take my photo on a professional level away, as I'm super camera shy. People tell me I'm photogenic, but most of those people have never seen a photo of me, as I tend to jump or run away from the camera. I'm doing this as a favor to said friend, as he's great, I have the time free, and want to face my camera phobia. He's taking shots of musicians the day after and I only agreed to this to help him set up and figure out angles and test shots for that. Because it's so last minute (tomorrow), I have no idea what to wear, how to stand, what to do with my face- you get the idea. So, help a lady out... if you're a photographer or have done a photoshoot before, any tips for face/body shots or general helpful things I should think about?
