My number one #brandingtip to not look “awkward” in photos is to be doing something! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Movement adds interest and helps create those #scrollstopping photos that grab attention 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are a few “things” to bring to your next branding session 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Bring props- totally a given but by bringing along printables and/or props you’re able to flip thru a book or pull out paint swatches which adds texture ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Are you wear loosing clothing like a dress or a skirt? Do a twirl or move your body back and forth to add movement ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Bring your dog! Yes really- who doesn’t love a fur baby ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drop a comment below and let me know your favorite way to add interest to your photos 💕 
It's all in the details 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Detailed shots are like peeling back the curtain on your process. The behind the scenes you didn't know you needed but TOTALLY do. Inviting your audience in on your process is key to blinding the like know trust factor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For @kalonbronzeandbody branding shoot, we made sure to capture shots of the products being used. This allows their audience to envision themselves working with the products.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have any in-action shots of your business? Let me know below. If not, let's chat I'd love to discuss how we can get those for you 💕

Can I let you in on a little secret 🤫 Not all photos from your branding session will have you or your face in it! Some of you may be thinking uh why, then what's the point? others may be jumping for joy because you don't love being in front of the camera lol BUT just hear me out. One of the things I LOVE about being a branding photographer is not only capturing YOU the business owner but also all the details that go into your business. Most of the time that doesn't have to be a picture of yourself. Another great thing about capturing all of those details is you're mixing up your content that you're sharing... Ever heard of the term filler content? That's exactly what that is. By capturing filler content you're getting images to use as... -blog post covers -personalized "stock photos" -behind the scenes -email marketing content and SO much more... Have any questions?
