How to prepare for your Brand Minis | Client Prep Guide

Unlocking a successful photoshoot hinges on preparation – and trust me, it's time well spent. Ready to make the most out of your session? Here's my tactical guide to gearing up for your photoshoot:

Pre-Session Preparation: Setting the Stage for Success

  • Brand Discovery and Vision Board: Dive deep into your brand's identity. Define your core values, mission, and the story you want to tell. Craft a vision board brimming with images, color palettes, and design elements that embody your brand's essence.

  • Wardrobe and Styling Selection: Your attire speaks volumes about your brand. Choose outfits and accessories that mirror your brand's aesthetic and values, ensuring versatility to convey different facets of your brand persona.

  • Shot List Creation: Compile a list of specific shots you desire – headshots, behind-the-scenes glimpses, product showcases, and more.

  • Engage with Your Audience: Stir up excitement by engaging your audience through social media stories or live streams during the session.

    During the Session: Crafting Your Visual Narrative

  • Arrival and Set-Up: Aim to arrive early to set the stage smoothly and kick off the session on a relaxed note.

  • Collaborative Vision: Your input matters. Share your ideas and preferences as we work together to capture images that perfectly align with your brand.

  • Variety in Posing and Expressions: Experiment with poses and expressions to capture a diverse range of authentic images.

  • Showcasing Your Brand Elements: Incorporate props or items that embody your brand identity creatively into the shots.

After the Session: Transforming Vision into Reality

  • Image Selection and Review: Review the gallery of around 20 - 50 images and select your favorites for editing.

  • Editing: Sit back as I enhance the chosen images, ensuring a polished final product.

  • Usage Rights and Delivery: Receive full usage rights and high-resolution digital images within 2 - 3 weeks via a secure online gallery.

    Additional Tips for a Seamless Experience

  • Hydration and Rest: Prioritize rest and hydration for optimal energy on the shoot day.

  • Eat: Fuel up before the session for maximum stamina and enthusiasm.

  • Don’t Overthink Nerves: Embrace nerves – I'll be there to hype you up and ensure your comfort.

  • Outfit Coordination: Test-run your outfits beforehand for a cohesive look.

  • Relax and Be Yourself: Authenticity shines brightest. Relax and let your brand's personality radiate.
