There is enough to think about when planning for your first brand shoot including what to wear, location and what props you should pack so you can make sure to represent your brand.

1. ASK: WHAT IS THE STORY I’M TRYING TO TELL WITH MY BRAND SHOOT?⁣

I see some brands doing beautiful flat lays that have NOTHING to do with their brand story. Pretty photos just for the sake of being pretty will fall flat and not get a great engagement, Instagram has enough pretty flatlays! Make sure the props you choose are an authentic reflection of you.

2. WHAT PROPS LOOK GREAT ON CAMERA & ARE RIGHT FOR YOUR BRAND? ⁣

Part of my planning process with every client is to get clear on their brand themes and select props that support the themes. Brand themes help build brand consistency and trust.

3. CREATE YOUR LIST OF 3-5 EASY PROP IDEAS FOR YOUR NEXT SHOOT!

Your puppy or your kids! Both are cute and great for boosting engagement. Winning!

Confetti or colorful smoke works great for photos because it adds some drama and can tie in your brand colors.

Crystals, your journal, goddess cards, or anything else that’s part of your morning ritual and self-care routine!⁣

Fresh flowers in your brand colors because I love getting creative with florals!⁣

I will allow your laptop for one shot, but then let’s get more creative ;)⁣ There are so many other easy prop ideas that can really bring to life your personality and brand.

A basket of fresh pristine veggies & fruit if you’re in the wellness industry (Pro tip: spray them with water to stay moist and fresh looking)!⁣

Statement hats or Sunglasses for those swaggy boss AF pics.

On brand books or magazines that have been influential in your journey.

Statement coffee mug with a powerful on brand message!⁣
