Okay, we're going to need more with this model.

Does the model choose the props, back drops, makeup, and hair styles?

This one did. We shot near her place which was about an hour plus drive for me. She had changed her hair style from the pictures I'd seen, shaved around the sides and back, had started her makeup when we arrived and asked me if she should do both eyes or just one. I chose just one. I mean, what the heck. She brought the props as well. The only wardrobe was a white dress and a fur coat. It had a sort of Game of Thrones feel for me but I just really went with the flow.

Very interesting they bring their own props. I never considered that....When they book with you is there a conversation regarding what they want (props, setting, etc) or a form of yours you have them fill out?
Normally when I shoot with a model for the first time, especially one who is not well established, I suggest they bring three or four wardrobe changes and select a location that provides a variety of backdrops. Experienced models I give more deference but discuss more in generalities and go along with any specifics with what they want/need for their own portfolios. As one who is relatively new to the whole thing it's all good for me. My main concern is that I'm getting experience and honing my photography skills.
If I had my way all the models I work with would be experienced because I don't have to tell them what to do, i.e. pose, expression, hold. New models will not change expression or pose without specific instruction and they have zero self awareness, even though I tell them to practice in front of the mirror so they have some idea of what works and what doesn't. It's gets a little frustrating to constantly tell them to move, change expression, etc. over a two hour period. I recommend fake eyelashes for most because you want the eyes to "pop" more than anything.
As for forms, I give models co-ownership with the only requirement being I get credit as the photographer. I've yet to shoot with anyone under 18 but that that would definitely require a consent form from a guardian as well as their presence at the shoot. I've had numerous requests for these and I just don't go there. I would for a friend who is a parent but that's it.

The only studio shoot I've had was with the Asian model above. I rented the studio for $25/hour for two hours. The model (who is in the video a page or two back) was very professional and we developed a nice rhythm (pose/expression-click, different expression-click). I wanted to capture her curves without showing anything you wouldn't see in PG-13 i.e. no nips or vagina and she managed to do that for two hours without a lot of repetition.
It was one of my first shoots and I was still learning my camera. I had it set on 'auto' which means it focused on whatever was closest to the camera in the frame. As a result in many of the shots her face was slightly blurred. Also, I had yet to purchase a flash and even though the studio provided excellent lighting equipment the shots could have used some light coming from the front. I overcame a lot of that in post production (editing) but not all of it. The model had a great sense of humor.

Not mine, but I had to share this:

That's hysterical..took me a minute, though.
Wooh, look at the size of that critter!
