Ashley didnât just show up hoping for great photos. Plenty of our work happened before I even picked up my camera.
Ashley is a local interior designer and this shoot was for her first set of brand photos for her website.
Before the shoot, I gave direction on what to wear & how to prepare her office - what to remove, what to keep, what would translate well on camera. Every bit of advice I gave was tailored to *her* dream client. It can be overwhelming making all those little decisions on your own so I like to take the guesswork out of it. Iâm big on collaboration when creating marketing photos together, especially for those who work alone and/or are still nailing down their brand style.
By the time the shoot day arrived, we had time to play outside of our shot list and focused on Ashleyâs portraits. The sunlit office had been refreshed for the perfect setting for her session!
Good photos arenât made by simply booking a shoot. Theyâre made in everything leading up to it. This part matters more than people think. Iâve got space for one more branding session before summer if youâre ready for a fresh set.
