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.

Pink Avocado Nutrition

Nutritionist Cathy Missios

September is here! August and September are actually my two favorite months for outdoor photoshoots. Thanks to cooler temperatures we don’t get tired and sweaty so easily, light is slightly less harsh and our make-up doesn’t run… These are all things that make lifestyle outdoor photoshoots way more productive and successful.

For this photoshoot with Cathy from Pink Avocado Nutrition we did a ton of fun things including a picnic in a nearby park and a trip to a great local grocery store Apple Factory.

Here are some Perfect Picnic tips from Cathy:

1. Check the weather!

2. Keep the food as simple as possible, pick up prepared foods and snacks, pre-cut fruits. Crackers, grapes, cheese are great snacks.

3. Carefully pack one real knife—a camping knife if you have one—and have it handy in case there’s baguette to be sliced. I wrap mine in tea towels, handy and a little safer.

For all picnic tips, visit Cathy’s blog.

Winter Favorites

A lot of us have a love-hate relationship with this season. I’m no different. I love the atmosphere of Christmas, dreamy snow, mulled wine in restaurants, cozy sweaters. But I also have a hard time with shorter days, less sunlight and being lazy and unmotivated. Here are some of my recent favourites which have helped me enjoy this winter much more!

1. Red Parka

   I love dressing up in winter, but when it’s quite cold, there’s nothing like a great parka. It’s a must for me when I’m travelling, makes me feel safe, comfortable and warm. This Calvin Klein model has plenty of practical pockets. When I’m travelling, I always want to have my documents, my wallet and phone in an inside pocket.

2. Lavender Goodies: Sleepy Body Lotion & Pure Couture Soap

If you know me well, you know I’m obsessed with good quality lavender products. They are a big part of my bedtime routine. I love using the lavender soap from Pure Couture for my evening shower and afterwards Sleepy Body Lotion on my body. After this ritual, I usually fall asleep in minutes :)

3. Pearl Ear Muffs & Gloves

Cute accessories can brighten a dark winter day. I particularly like these ear muffs because they keep my ears warm without messing up my hair!

4. Photo of the Season: Sexy Sweater Weather

I’ve been wanting to take some sensual photos just for myself for a while now. But as it often is with those things, I kept delaying it. The main reason was gaining a few pounds, as I always do when fall starts. Then I decided I don’t need to look perfect to be happy with a photo of myself. Once the photos were done, my only regret was not having them done sooner.

5. Quote: Women should be Brave, not perfect.

There’s a lot of famous quotes from Billie Jean (one of my favourite tennis icons), but this one is very special to me. Every single day I see women stopping themselves from marketing themselves, from speaking out, from putting themselves out there simply because they’re not perfect (in their head).
If we want to change that for our and future generations, we have to be brave. We have to consciously choose where we put our focus. Nobody will do it for us, we have to do it for ourselves. Seeking validation is pointless because if you’re doing that, you’re already giving your power away. Why not instead focus on what good we can create, how we can become masters of our craft and how we can have plenty of fun along the way.

I hope you enjoyed my winter favorites! Before we know it, it will be spring again.
