Wild Kind Brand Photography

12/05/2026

Some brand photographers hand you a style guide and hope for the best.

That's not how I work.

The Brand Shoot Map is exclusive to my Stand Out Session, and it goes deeper than you'd expect.

Before we step foot in the studio, I build you a completely custom document that dives into your story, your goals, and the specific images your brand needs.

We break the shoot down location by location, with a shotlist and packing list built around you.

I take the inspo images you've gathered and compile them into a visual guide, complete with my notes and reminders, so we both arrive on the same page.

You also get affirmations and a self-care checklist to help you show up calm, confident, and ready.

By the time your shoot day comes, nothing is left to chance.

This is the strategic + creative experience that results in images that move your business forward.

If you have ever sat down to fill in a brand shoot brief and felt a bit lost, this one is for you.

A brand shoot brief is one of the most important parts of the personal brand photography process. It is where the strategy lives. It is where your shoot stops being a list of pretty poses and starts becoming a visual story that works for your business.

But most brand shoot briefs miss the thing that matters most.

Here is what I look for when I am planning a personal brand photography session with a client and what I need you to bring to it:

✦ The emotional through-line. What do you want people to feel when they land on your page? Not the colours you like. Not the poses you have saved. The feeling. That is what we are building toward.

✦ The strategic context. Brand shoot planning is not just about what looks good. It is about what you are launching, stepping into, or finally owning. Your images need to serve your next chapter, not the version of you from six months ago.

✦ Permission to be bold. The most powerful personal brand photography I have ever created came from clients who stopped briefing for safe and started briefing for seen.

✦ Your honest answer to this question: What do I actually want people to think of me for?

A mood board is a starting point. A brief with real strategic depth is what turns a good brand shoot into images that do the work for you long after the session is over.

I work with ambitious entrepreneurs across the UK, and if you are based in Liverpool or the Northwest and are in the early stages of brand shoot planning, I would love to help you build a brief that results in high-impact imagery that helps your business grow.

The week before your shoot is not the time to scramble. It is the time to settle in.

Prepping for your shoot is the best way to ensure you get every penny's worth from your investment. Yes, the moodboards and inspo images matter. But without your energy behind them, they mean nothing.

When you put the time in beforehand, you walk through the door feeling calm, clear, and completely yourself. And that is when we create the kind of images that stop people mid-scroll.

That is when the magic happens.

Swipe for the five things I always wish my clients did in the week before we shoot together.

And if you're ready to be my client, pop me a DM!

You are not boring... so why are your photos?

With love...if your brand shoot involves a laptop and a vague smile, we need to talk.

Your brand imagery should have depth and feel like you: bold, layered, alive.

Here are some prop ideas to get you thinking differently before your session:

✺ Something you actually love — a vintage paperback, a handwritten journal, a stack of books that shaped you, a worn-in notebook, an heirloom piece that means something, a card or letter from someone important

✺ Texture and surface — raw linen fabric, dried botanicals, pressed flowers, a bundle of eucalyptus, woven baskets, chunky knit throws, terracotta pots, unglazed ceramic dishes, stacked art prints, handmade paper

✺ Your actual tools — the tarot deck, the mood board, the sketchpad, the planner you swear by, colored markers, printed affirmation cards, a vision board, sticky notes mid-brainstorm, your signature product

✺ Color pops — a bold chair, a painted wall, a printed scarf, a statement coat, colored tissue paper, a vase of fresh flowers, a neon sign, a brightly wrapped gift, a colored glass vase in direct light

✺ Movement and energy — flowing fabric, ribbon, dried pampas grass, confetti, petals scattered on a surface, a sheer curtain caught mid-billow, smoke from a candle, sparklers, paint splatter

✺ Things that make people ask questions — an unexpected object from your childhood, something that hints at your process, anything that makes someone stop scrolling and think "wait, what is that?"

Curiosity is magnetic. Your brand imagery should start conversations, not blend into a feed. If you're ready to create something exciting, get in touch!

It's wild.

When I first started, I thought it was about the photos.

But after SEVERAL conversations over the years with my clients, they've shared how much more their shoots have meant to them.

They're feeling more confident.
They're showing up more often.
They're positioning themselves as experts in their industry.
They're saying YES to more opportunities.

And some of those opportunities are even finding them.

I'm so proud of you all and beyond grateful for your trust and support.

Have a scroll through to see a conversation with my repeat client, Claire from Redress Studio.

I only make space for a couple of photoshoots a month to protect my energy and give my all to my clients so if you're thinking about it in the New Year, DM me ASAP.

And huge shoutout to mine and Claire's brand designer, Rachael Does Design who absolutely smashed this branding - can you see it on her apron and sprinkled in throughout her shoot?
