Thank you for your interest in a branding photography session with La Vie Photography!
Here is some information to consider when booking a lifestyle branding session with me:
Location
We can work together to decide on where to shoot your session. There are several options, including:
Indoor Location: Provides a comfortable feeling and allows for a variety for photos. There must be open space & depending on the location, permission or reservation may be required.
Options for indoor locations are:
your office
a local coffee shop
rental studio/co-working space (may require an additional fee)
Outdoors Location: Provides a unique setting with lots of natural light. I am happy to provide local options, if needed.
For more details on the types of locations for branding sessions - check out my blog.
Time
If we are photographing indoors, late morning to early afternoon is ideal (between 10:00AM -1:00PM) for the best natural light.
If the session is taking place outdoors, the lighting is best 1-2 hours after sunrise or before sunset, providing an incredible backdrop for photos.
Length
Don't worry - I work efficiently! My sessions typically last between 45 minutes to 1 hour, capturing a large and diverse collection of photos.
What to Wear
If available to change, I suggest bringing 1-3 outfits. Your outfits should be comfortable and reflect who you are. They should also connect with your business. I always recommend wearing layers (i.e. jacket, sweater, scarf, hat etc.). This helps provide a variety to your photos without having to change your whole outfit. If you need some inspiration, Pinterest has an endless supply of great ideas! Check out my blog: what to wear for branding sessions, for more info!
Props
Props are important to have in order to help create different scenarios through out your session. There are 3 different types of props you can bring:
Every day items such as coffee mugs, notepads, computer and etc.
Job related and/or branded items - examples of branded items: key chains, file folders, or business cards. Job related depends on your business, for example a yoga teach would bring a yoga mat, some blocks, and maybe candles.
Personal items - these items should reflect your personality and a fun way for your clients to get to know you better.
