Adding to list 567,420,523 of why I’ll always be a fan of shot list and inspo boards..... ⚠️They serve as a direct visual compass to the direction we are going in ⚠️It’s a vision board for both the client and photographer. The client visualizes where they want to be and the client is able to visualize how to get there. ⚠️Doesn’t serve as a “copy” compass but more of a “get to know what you like and don’t like” guide ⚠️Help both client and photographer be efficient with their time and clients investment. ⚠️outlines “must have, money shots”, detailed shots such as flat lays, close ups of wardrobe and particular expressions for content usage. Also included are suggested orientations for hero shots such as website or blog banners, ie landscape and horizontal orientation for your social media and website usage. ⚠️⚠️Shot list don’t mean you are married to any particular shots but it keeps you on track and ensures both photographer and client are on the same page and no “must have shot” is left behind. Preparing for the photo session and especially the day of can be nerve wracking enough, having a well prepared list of custom shots prevents the headache of any fo overs and almost always guarantees you the perfect opportunity to ensure you plan out your ideal shots perfectly! Do you like shot lists or would you rather wing it?

NOBODY:....... YOU: I don’t have anything to wear for my brand session! You’ve said this soooo many times and I have too but it shouldn’t hold you back from your next brand shoot. I’m sharing a few quick tips to help maximize and utilize what you have in your closet! ME: Sis! You have clothes at home! 🔺Pack multiple looks, especially tops Don’t flip out or get frantic about having a ton of completely different looks. You’d be surprised at what a few different tops, including blazers and jackets will change the course of your entire look. 🔺Try your looks on walking, sitting and standing You always want to appear and actually be comfortable during your shoot. Properly fitted clothing that compliments your body figure achieves that confidence. 🔺Wear brand colors and if unsure stick with neutral , solid clothing This is important when you are considering what and where you will be using the images. Any mixed prints or off brand colors may confuse or distract your audience and set your messaging off. 🔺Accessorize but don’t overdo it! Don’t leave your gold hoops or favorite headwrap at home! Accessories go a long way and make a complete change to your look. 🔺Wear comfy shoes and PSA heels are not a requirement Wear shoes that compliments your brand. If you’re a Converse kid, by all means, rock your Chucks! 🔺🔺If you just HAVE to go shopping, be sure to buy things that you’ll wear more than once and where you can switch and mix it up to create completely different looks. I hope this helps and remember before you run out and buy new clothes, check out your closet first!

I woke up this morning and realized that today I was in Atlanta and not in New Orleans. It’s a story behind my love for the grungy, loud laughter, burst out in the middle of the street dancing, the concentrated accents, the FOOD, the culture, the art and so many things that New Orleans owns. My uncle lived in New Orleans when I was growing up and married about 2-3 different times, 2-3 completely types of women so we had about 2-3 different experiences and encountered those many different people. We’d visit very often, probably very 2-3 months. Mardi Gras was celebrated for weeks on end. Seafood/trash boils, crawfish spreads and Budweiser beer was always on the menu. My cousins and I knew some of the back alleys like the back of our hand and we got a kick out of mocking the accents of the native New Orleaners. We probably saw and heard too much for our young ears but those times will always rang a beautiful moment in my life. The hustle and the grind was an art to me. I secretly wanted to know what it felt like to walk to school or catch the city bus by myself as a kid. Popeyes was unmatched. Big shot cold dranks were a staple and the weekend flea markets, so mannnny memories. New Orleans is easily my top 5 favorite places to visit. I love pretty much everything about the city♥️ Would you believe me if I said I’d even live there, like frfr! Counting the days until me and my camera visit, until then I’ll just reflect on my last solo venture!

If I’m being honest, social media has crippled me more times than I’d like to admit. Most times it boiled down to not having a strategy, a plan. Don’t believe the hype, pretty photos are not enough. Eventually showing up isn’t enough. The real sauce is in sharing your experience, sharing what you know and how it has helped you and how it can help others. High quality, on brand imagery paired with intentional strategy initiates trust, positions you as the expert and allows you to provide value and purposeful content. ▫️Have you struggled with the right captions? ▫️Do you pull out your phone hyped to share and just don’t know how to put the words together? ▫️Do you have the right words but stall because you don’t have the best imagery? ▫️Are your photos stale, outdated or just don’t align with you or your brand? Does this sound like you? Join @strategyandshots on July 25 to conquer the things that have been setting you back from serving your audience and being recognized and booked as the expert you are!
