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.

Winter Favorites 2021

It’s the perfect time of the year to get really cozy…

Cold weather and Ontario lockdown mean staying home as much as we can. Just like so many of us, I’ve been reading a lot, watching a lot of shows, changing up my makeup routine, doing some online shopping and also eating a lot of yummy food. Here are some of my favourite things that made my winter fun.

1. Lipstick

   A client recommended this lipstick and I honestly can’t get enough of it. I think you can tell - I got it in three colours already. It also lives up to its name and I usually only apply it twice a day. Putting on lipstick is an instant mood booster for me, especially in winter.

2. Nine West booties

I couldn’t be more happy with this purchase. I love the texture of the shoes, they’re also very warm and comfortable. The heel is sturdy and not too high.

3. Music: Frederic Chopin (Fryderyk Szopen)

Chopin’s music does something to me. Time suddenly stands still and I forget about everything else. Chopin is the most popular and beloved Polish composer and pianist. His music is intertwined with a very dramatic period in Polish history, which together with his romantic nature gives it an unforgettable edge. “Ballade No.1” is of one my favorite Chopin’s pieces and Zimerman’s interpretation is undoubtedly beautiful.

4. Food: dosas

I’ve always been a big fan of Indian dishes but I haven’t tried dosas before. When a friend mentioned it, I knew I had to order it. I wasn’t dissapointed! Dosas are South Indian staple consisting of crepes accompanied with sides such as sambar and various kinds of chutney.

5. Good Fats Lemon Mousse

I really crave snacks in winter and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ve been snacking on Good Fats bars for some time, but this new flavour (lemon mousse) is my absolute favorite. It’s also white chocolate which I love. The bars are keto friendly and only have 190 calories each.

6. Book: Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

I have been reading so much lately but this book is such a stand out for me. It’s so poetic and beautiful!

Synopsis: For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when the popular Chase Andrews is found dead, locals immediately suspect her

7. The Sinner

I have been watching a ton of crime/mystery, to a point where I’m getting oversaturated with the genre. “The Sinner” really entertained me and I think Jessica Biel did a wonderful job.

8. Photo of the season: Chelsea

This has been my second time photographing Chelsea and this time around she wanted some sensual photos captured. I love working with clients multiple times as I feel we start “peeling the onion” and get deeper into their soul…

Kim

Every single woman should be captured beautifully at least once in her life and experience a photoshoot!

With some exciting changes in her life, Kim wanted to celebrate herself and do something for herself. We had so much fun and the entire afternoon was filled with laughter.

“Thank you so much! I truly had such a wonderful time shooting this special moment with you. [...] I was looking at the photos again last night and it was making me emotional to really take in the beautiful photos!”
