Top 5 Tips For an AMAZING Brand Photoshoot

Ah, photoshoots! They can be extremely fun, inspiring and empowering, but also overwhelming. After all, the photos are very important. They will be a crucial part of your presentation and a big factor in determining whether people will contact you or not.

So how do you make sure your photoshoot is a success? Here are my Top 5 Tips For an AMAZING Brand Photoshoot:

1. Choose The Right Photographer

You want to work with someone who understands branding photography and will guide you smoothly through the process. Photography is a vast field and it’s very unlikely a newborn photographer (just an example) will have the expertise/equipment/props/space necessary to create excellent branding photos.

2. Pick The Right Wardrobe

The better the wardrobe, the better your photoshoot. It doesn’t mean you need designer wardrobe. It means you want variety and outfits that work for you, your brand and your body shape. I actually take the time to do a wardrobe consultation with my clients, because it always means better results!

3. Pick Your Colors

Picking and sticking to your brand colors is a big part of building a brand, brand recognition and loyalty. It will make your personal brand more memorable and less confusing. Why is brand recognition SO important? Just imagine how confusing it would be if your favorite brand of cereal was changing their colors and logo every month.

4. Plan Your Content

You will maximize your investment if you can tie your photos to specific content posts you will create throughout the year.

Here are 5 ideas:

a post about your company's mission/name

a post about favorite books/podcasts related to your field

a post about how your clients’ life changed after working with you

a FAQ post

a post showing your work behind the scenes

5. Choose The Right Props

A branding photoshoot will have more of that WOW Factor with the right props. Incorporate props from your work life and again, stick to those brand colors.

So there you have it, my Top 5 Tips For an Amazing Branding Photoshoot. If you’re wondering if we might be a fit to work together, you can always book a chat with me here.

Payal, The Eastern Bazaar

Payal Bhakta of The Eastern Bazaar

I loved working with Payal on her Personal Branding Photoshoot so much it’s really hard to find the right words to describe it but “magic” could certainly be one of them!

Payal is an Interior Designer and a true visionaire. The set up for her photoshoot actually started two days prior, because we wanted to feature quite a few statement pieces from her store, like the iconic peacock chair or Balinese parasol and of course crystals.

We loved decorating multiple photo sets with crystals, which made me realize they truly go with all types of interior design. They looked amazing in a Scandinavian bedroom, eclectic living room and bohemian garden.

We simply had to take advantage of a beautiful summer day and also take photos outside!

Art of Marina

Watercolour Artist & Kimono Designer Marina Billinghurst

What a treat it was to finally work with Toronto Watercolour Artist & Kimono Designer Marina Billinghurst!

Marina’s work is becoming super popular not only in Toronto but also across the world. We had the pleasure of photographing the artist herself in her stunning Junction studio before heading out to Pure Studios for more photos.

Marina’s dreamy watercolour patterns adorn not only wall art but also accessories and of course her stunning kimonos. It was time to photograph it all!

Marina’s photos are just like her personality: effortless, free-spirited, creative, dreamy!

Marina is super warm and you simply want to be around her, but this lovely spirit also possesses an incredible strength. When she suffered a horrible car accident and learned about her mom being diagnosed with cancer shortly after, she decided there was nowhere to go but up.

“ Life is short and we just don’t know when or why it’s our time.

But we do know when we have to do something.

And we do it.”

Lara

This photoshoot’s motto could have been “less is more”.

Meet Lara, a Toronto Realtor with great style! It was a pleasure to work with this girlboss. We’re both lovers of organic, minimalist style, so it was an effortless working experience from the start. Black and white with fresh touches of green and pink was the timeless palette for Lara’s photoshoot.

As with every Branding Photoshoot, the goal was to show Lara's professional persona and style. Lifestyle photography done in a tastefully decorated property is always a great idea for realtors. When choosing props, we kept in mind Lara's brand colours in order to create a very consistent look.

“Self marketing is awkward. I dislike most photos of myself & never feel confident putting them out for the world to see... yet it is so imperative to put a face to the name & present myself. I am my business. No face when I’m the face of my work wouldn’t work so well...

How did I overcome that?

Pure Studios

In a nutshell, Agnes makes you feel like you in a way you’re proud to present & share with the world! She specializes in branding photography & has a seamless way of empowering women to not only look great in photos but to feel great. Working with her changed my perspective on self portraits.

At our consultation she said something I laughed off... She told me to make plans for the night of our photo shoot because I’d leave feeling great about myself & wouldn’t want to take my head of done hair & makeuped face home. I didn’t believe her & showed up on shoot day an anxious mess...

I left feeling exactly how she told me I’d feel. On cloud 9, empowered, excited, confident! I was so in awe that I actually LIKED pictures of myself.”
