"Can you really create a month’s worth of content in just one hour?"
ChatGPT told me it’s possible, but I wasn’t so sure. I challenged the idea because creating quality content takes time—but I do have a few steps to streamline the process and make it way more manageable.
Here’s how I prep before diving into content creation:
✨ Define Your Goals
What’s the purpose of your content this month? Are you aiming to increase brand awareness, drive conversions, or make sales? Clarity is key.
✨ Choose Your Themes
Pick 3–4 core themes for your posts, like behind-the-scenes moments, tips & tricks, client stories, or promotions. Repeating these themes makes writing captions much easier.
✨ Organize Your Visuals
Grab 20–30 professional photos from your library that fit your themes. (If you don’t have enough, plan a mini-shoot to update your library).
✨ Batch Your Work
Set aside dedicated time to create your content in one focused session. You’ll feel more productive (and less overwhelmed..

Personal branding
Don't make this mistake!
Don't make the mistake of not getting enough variety of photos during your photo shoot.
You need a selection of shots (headshots, lifestyle, action) for different platforms and purposes.
Headshots are great for your website and professional profiles and lifestyle shots can help you connect with your audience on social media. Action shots can be used to showcase your expertise or services.
Here are some examples of how you can use different types of images:
Headshots: Use on your website, LinkedIn profile, and other professional profiles.
Lifestyle shots: Use on social media to connect with your audience and show your personality.
Action shots: Use to showcase your expertise or services.
When you use a variety of images, you can create a more engaging and professional brand.

Personal Branding
What I See vs. What Others See
Others saw me lying on the gym floor, camera in hand. 📸
I saw the perfect angle in a space that didn’t quite fit my client’s aesthetic—but with a little creativity, I knew I could make it work!
As a photographer, I’m always on the lookout for locations that can capture the energy of a brand, even in unconventional spaces.
Shooting in a gym definitely has its challenges:
Equipment everywhere
People everywhere
Mirrors everywhere
Bad lighting everywhere
For Helene, a dance fitness instructor specializing in VXN Workout—a transformative blend of dance and fitness—I needed a clean, simple background that matched her brand’s vibe. We used the gym and found those little corners that worked perfectly for her personal branding shots.
If you’re in the fitness industry, what challenges have you faced when taking photos in a gym?
What Not to Wear
📸 What NOT to Wear for Your Photo Session 📸
Getting ready for your photo shoot? I'm here to help you look and feel your absolute best. ✨
While I'm all about embracing your unique style, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your outfits to ensure you love the way you look in your photos.
This is a mistake I've made before!
❌ Flowy Tops: As much as we adore that carefree, boho vibe, flowy tops can sometimes make you appear larger than you are in photos.
✅ Instead, opt for:
Fitted tops: These will accentuate your natural shape and create a more streamlined look.
Structured pieces: Blazers, jackets, or tops with interesting details will add dimension and visual interest.
Defined waistlines: Cinching your waist with a belt or choosing clothing with a defined waist will create a flattering silhouette.
Remember, it's all about finding clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable!
