Small Details, Big Results: How to Prep for Your Brand Photography Session
We have compiled a list of 3 Quick tips for preparing for your brand photo session with us! These tips are very simple. Yet, most people will still forget about them. So I wanted to write about them to give you a reminder of those 3 LITTLE things that can make a BIG difference on the day of your session!
1. Plan your Outfit ahead of time - You don’t want to wake up the morning of your shoot and realize that you have no idea what to wear to your session. Which is why I send you my brand styling guide! It is packed full of information that will help you figure out what to wear (and what to avoid). AND, I include tips for your hair & makeup as well.
2. Prioritize Sleep, Stay Hydrated, and Eat a Good Meal beforehand - Breakfast is an important part of the day. If you know you might become hungry during our session, bring an extra snack with you! I’d rather you take a few minutes to snack than be hungry and grumpy the rest of your session.
3. Confirm your Location, Date & Time - This is on me to check with you, but it helps when you check in with me occasionally too! I set up a Google Calendar invite that goes straight to your preferred email so that we both have it solidified in our calendars as well. The nice thing about Google Calendar too, is that it sends reminder emails for upcoming events to any person that has their email attached to that event. So you will get messages from me & Google reminding you of the time, date, & location of our session.
BONUS TIPS:
- Bring some props related to what your business is! Hair dresser? Bring your favorite shears! Marketing Consultant? Bring your computer! Doula? Bring your birthing books! Whatever business industry you are in, we can always find ways to creatively integrate your business tools.
- Bring an extra outfit! Even when we pick out your power suit outfit before hand, sometimes we can feel like it just isn’t working. I can help you pick an extra outfit to bring to your session. So that way, in the case that your outfit isn’t working the way you want it to, we can make adjustments to ensure that we capture the images that truly express who you are as a business owner.
In Summary . . .
Prepping for your brand session? Don’t forget these 3 key tips: plan your outfit early (check the brand styling guide!), get good sleep, stay hydrated, and eat beforehand, and confirm your session details. Bonus: bring a business-related prop and a backup outfit—those small extras can make a big impact!
