If per chance your studio strobes are equipped with modeling lights, you can use an ambient meter to determine/adjust the relative light from each unit falling on subject, b.g., foreground, as well as cumulative light. Once the desired lighting ratios are established, it's just a matter of shooting some test brackets to determine the overall camera exposure setting. She'll need to do some homework on lighting ratios and their effect on a subject/scene.

However, measurement is much easier with a flash meter. However, she'll still need to understand lighting ratios for max. control of her images.
