Hi, Reader!
Brand shoot regret is real. Have you ever…
A) Not loved the photos (maybe you didn’t have a great hair day, your posing looked stiff, or your outfits weren’t on-brand)
B) Forgot to use your new photos, or didn't know how to use them
C) Realized after the fact that you didn’t get the shots you really needed
The secret to getting brand photos you love (and actually use) is simple: make a plan!
Sure, you might get lucky winging it, but a lot has to magically fall into place. A solid brand shoot plan includes:
âś” The right team (photographer, stylist, hair + makeup, etc.)
âś” A strategy aligned with your marketing goals
âś” A custom shot list
âś” Thoughtfully chosen locations, outfits, and props
âś” A cohesive color scheme
âś” Posing prep (so you feel confident on camera)
âś” All the little details, like music, snacks, and just-in-case essentials
When all these pieces come together, your brand photos feel intentional, professional, and actually useful in your business.
So before your next brand shoot (or even a DIY content session), make a plan. It makes all the difference!
