brand photoshoot ideas coming right up
THE RESOURCE THAT SOLVES IT ALL
can you relate?
You keep putting off booking a brand shoot because you don’t feel “ready." You have no idea what to wear, where to shoot, and you want to lose 10 lbs first.
You’ve DIY’d your photos (or even booked a shoot before), but the images didn’t quite capture your brand the way you envisioned. Now you’re hesitant to invest your time and money again.
You’re drowning in decisions (shot ideas! outfits! locations! props! poses!) and second-guessing everything.
You wish you could show up to your shoot feeling confident and prepared, knowing exactly what to do, without spending hours piecing together a shot list or hoping your photographer just gets it.
I created Brand Shoot Essentials because I know firsthand how overwhelming brand shoots can be. There are endless decisions- what to wear, how to pose, and how to make sure your photos actually work for your business.
After nearly a decade as a brand photographer, I've seen a pattern: the more my clients and I planned ahead, the better their results. They felt more confident, less stressed, and actually loved their photos.
with the right prep, you can get the photos your business needs without the second-guessing.
Stop stressing over the details and let me show you how to plan and pull off a brand photoshoot that truly represents your brand.
let's break it down
STEP ONE

✅ Set clear, strategic goals for your shoot so every photo has a purpose.
✅ Take inventory of your marketing platforms (website, social, email, ads, etc.) to make sure you get all the images you need for every touchpoint with your audience.
✅ Map out a shot list like a pro with step-by-step instructions, 50+ shot ideas, and a real example shot list to guide you.

Your shoot went amazing, and now you’ve got a gallery full of strategic, on-brand photos. Now what!? The final step is all about making sure your images work for you, strategically using them so they attract the right clients and help you reach your marketing goals.
✅ Have a clear plan for strategically using your photos across your website, social media, email newsletters, and marketing materials, so they’re working for you 24/7.
