Planning your next photoshoot? 🤔 Don't forget to get you - AND your crew - in the photo! Think about it - it just makes sense: you already have everyone and everything at the ready, from florals and props to hair and makeup. Get the most out of all your hard work and planning by including your team's photos in the process! Also, let's face it: at least for the time being, remote work and client meetings will likely be the norm. Your clients' first impression of you will be based on your digital footprint - so, make sure you're putting your best foot forward!
Some of our tips for getting top ROI out of your professional photography:
•
update your website banners, popups, and newsletter image library after each photoshoot with fresh images so your content is always seasonal, on-brand, and ready to go when you need it!
•
make sure your team has access to the images featuring them for their own use, especially for social media - your team members are your best brand ambassadors and greatest asset, so make sure they have the resources they need to represent you well!
•
have a process and a plan for maintaining your brand's image library - this should include a process for resizing incoming images for your social channels, and a hard backup of your image library stored in a safe place.
This is a contemporary space designed to inspire, where you can gather. Inspire. Create! From your next photo shoot to that potentially *life-changing* zoom meeting, we've got you covered! Learn more + reserve your studio time via link in bio!

Pro-tip 💡 Curate a collection of objects that capture your brand's identity + story for photoshoots and social snapshots! Critique your collection as a whole: does it look cohesive? Color and texture-wise, is it harmonious? ☯️ Another reason we love this process: it gives you a chance to reflect on the stories worth telling and the values that set you apart - which can also be used for your social and blog posts!
Is this something you've done in the past? What do you think?! What advice would you give to someone just starting out? 👇Share in the comments👇

Planning your brand's next photoshoot? 📸 Before you get into the details, make a list of your digital needs: your stories background, a new homepage banner for your website, newsletter feature pics.

Memories fade. No matter how much we cherish them or try to cling to every moment, the details blur - and we forget more than we realize. That's where photography comes in: each photo is a moment of time, frozen. An anchor that transports you back to that perfect moment. A tiny bit of permanence in an impermanent world you can hold in your hand. Capture the moments you want to remember forever - because, when all is said and done, photos are we have left.

Pro-tip: 💡 set aside some time at each of your photoshoots to get pics of YOU and the team that makes it happen. We're absolutely obsessed with B Astonished Events, LLC individual + team shots they incorporated into their last shoot !
Getting regularly updated shots of you - whether or not you "need" them at the moment - ensures that whatever the season or occasion you have up-to-date "headshots." Think: when you're asked to submit a pic for a summit or conference you're attending, an upcoming article or publication, or just because! You are the power behind what you do. Capture the journey as it happens - in years to come, you'll be glad you did!

💎🔮✨ Any day with Sara Bryki is magical! We especially love her brand aesthetic, and how she uses objects + ephemera. Every photo is a story you can get lost in - and brings the experience of being in-person to you, wherever you are!
A well-curated collection ready-to-go takes any photo shoot to the next level, allowing you to capture images that are uniquely yours (AND a great conversation starter on social + web!)

Top of our list on "must have" shots you should get at each photoshoot: YOU! Not just for the "about" section on your website or a social post - but also just to have on hand! There's no worse feeling that being asked for a headshot for a publication or event.... and not having a good option. You're your brand - so be prepared!
On the week of your photoshoot, get a garment bag of your wardrobe options ready. Capturing several looks gives you options - and you can even capture looks for each season ahead of time all in one go!

Hey 👋 creators, makers + artists: be sure to include "hands at work" on the setlist for your next photoshoot! As humans, we instinctively love watching hands at work, and have ever since we started making tools. And it's a great way to get people to stop scrolling to this day! So, tell us: did it work? 😉😂

Hey owners, creators, and makers of all kinds: photography is an investment - and there are no re-shoots to get that *one* image you really needed....and didn't get 😬📸Want to make your next an investment well-spent? Take a look at 's recent shoot, captured at Lightbox by photographer , as an example! There are three key categories you should cover at each brand shoot:
(1) custom stock! Your goal here is to tell a story about your process with images - from ordering or scheduling to the final product.
(2) What you do! Your hands at work, or the story behind what you create or make.
(3) YOU! You are your brand, so be sure to have seasonal, current head shots + portraits on hand for web, social, etc.
