Congraulations on booking your branding mini session with me. I’m excited to capture stunning photos that will elevate your online presence. To ensure you get the most out of your 20 minute session, I’ve put together this guide to help you prepare.
1. Know Your Brand
Before your session, take some time to think about your brand’s personality and message. Consider the following questions:
- What colours and styles represent your brand?
- What emotions do you want your photos to convey?
- How do you want to be perceived by your audience?
Having a clear understanding of your brand will help me to capture photos that truly reflect your business.
2. Plan Your Outfits
Choose outfits that align with your brand and make you feel confident. Here are some tips:
- Colours: Stick to solid colours or subtle patterns that complement your brand’s colour scheme.
- Style: Choose professional yet comfortable clothing that you feel great in.
- Variety: If time permits, bring a couple of different outfits to add variety to your photos.
3. Bring Relevant Props
Props can add personality to your photos and showcase what you do. Consider bringing:
- Tools or products related to your business.
- Branded items, such as mugs, notebooks, or business cards.
- Personal items that reflect your personality and brand.
4. Prepare Your Mindset
Feeling confident and relaxed will make a big difference in your photos. Here are some tips to help you prepare mentally:
- Sleep and Hydrate: Get a good night’s sleep before your session and drink plenty of water.
- Practice Posing: Spend a few minutes in front of the mirror practicing different poses and expressions.
- Positive Mindset: Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself why you’re doing this – to showcase your amazing brand!
5. Hair and Makeup
Professional hair and makeup can enhance your photos, but it’s not necessary. If you choose to do your own, keep it natural and true to your style:
- Hair: Make sure your hair is styled in a way that makes you feel confident.
- Makeup: Apply makeup that enhances your natural features and suits your brand’s look.
6. Arrive Early
Arriving a few minutes early will give you time to settle in and relax before your session starts. It also ensures we can make the most of our 20 minutes together.
7. Communicate Your Vision
Don’t hesitate to share your ideas and vison with me. Whether it’s a specific pose, a certain backdrop, or a particular prop, I want to make sure your photos align with your goals.
8. Trust the Process
Remember, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Trust the process and have fun! I’ll provide direction on posing and ensure you look your best in every shot.
9. Review and Select
After your session, you’ll receive a gallery of professionally editied, high-resolution digital images. Take your time to review and select the ones that best represent your brand.
Final Thoughts
Your mini branding session is an investment in your business’ visual identity. By preparing ahead of time, you’ll ensure the final photos are a true reflection of your brand’s personality and values. I can’t wait to work with you and create beautiful images that will help your business shine online!
