Here are some photos I’d be sure to get as a realtor during my brand photoshoot.

In addition to these you can add a photo with a key, listing presentation, with a mock client, and sitting on the ground.

SWIPE —> to see the raw unedited images.

When I take images my goal is to have everything so dialed in that the photos SOOC (straight out of camera) are as close to the final image as possible.

I know I love seeing behind the curtains into someone’s process? Anyone else?

But you do need to 👇🏽

⚡️To be willing to show up
⚡️Choose outfits that feel amazing on you or hire someone to help
⚡️Hire the photographer to direct you
⚡️Pull inspiration and decide the direction of your session (more below)
⚡️Bonus: Practice a little (more on this below too)

Yes brand photoshoots can be scary. Start here: Choose the vibe of your brand, begin your photoshoot research sooner than later, no one (besides your brand strategist if you have one) is going to do this for you. The brand lives in you, how do you want the world to see it? Pinterest is an easy place to begin, but inspiration is everywhere and doesn’t only include poses.
What lights you up?
What makes you move?
What ignites your soul?
How do you want people to feel when they think of your brand?
What words would they associate with it?
How are you planning to show up for your business to bring this to life?

Yes, there’s help along the way BUT it’s important to be willing to do the work. I send all of my full session brand clients a planning guide to help them map out their ideas.

Again, if you don’t know where to start, comment Pinterest below and I’ll message you my Pinterest to start your inspo search.

Ok, your photoshoot is booked, you have some ideas, now it’s time to practice. We promise a little practice goes a long way. It may feel silly but go in front of a mirror and practice some of the poses you see on Pinterest, magazine or on IG that you like. See how it feels to move your body.

Direction is given for every photo client of mine, 100% of the time. My goal is that you feel comfortable and we move efficiently through the photoshoot, capturing as much variety as possible.
