Storytelling through Branding Photography
Monday March 3, 2025 3:30pm - 4:30pm CST
The reason why a lot of photographers struggle to successfully add in branding photography offers to their business is because it requires building a new skillset. For most other types of photography the client plans what happens and the photographer is responsible for posing and taking the photo. Branding photography requires understanding what your client is marketing and helping them visually tell that story through a combination of locations, props, models, and outfits. And then posing them and taking the photos on the day of the session. Over the last 5 years we've developed a process that enables us to be both efficient and deeply customize each session to tell a unique story that resonates with our clients audience. We'd love to share our planning process with photographers to help them visually tell their clients' story.

Kick off Your Session With Confidence!
We’ll walk through simple flow posing for the standard, must-have shots, so you can knock them out in the first 10 minutes of your session, while creating flattering, timeless images for your client.

Then the FUN begins! We’ll get creative and explore different ways to create something extra unique and memorable that will stand out, including:
-switching up your posing
-creative shooting through various elements
-the random things I keep in my camera bag
-creating dramatic silhouettes

***Special Bonus***
I’ll have a little gift for each attendee to encourage you to experiment and try out some of the techniques being demonstrated!
