Your Brand Session Checklist | Norman, Oklahoma Brand Photographer
Your brand session is right around the corner, and I know you’re feeling all the feels — excitement, maybe a few nerves, and hopefully a big dose of pride. Trust me, I’ve been there! You’re about to invest in something that will elevate your business, showcase your unique personality, and help you connect with your dream clients. That’s something to celebrate!
My goal as your trusted Oklahoma brand photographer is to make sure your brand session goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible and to help you relax and enjoy the process :) So, I’ve put together this last-minute prep guide for you. These little details will help us create a gallery of intentional, purposeful images that truly represent you and your brand.
Props, Tools, and Materials: Be Ready to Shine
Gather all the props and tools that visually represent your brand. These items make your photos feel authentic and connected to what you do. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Tech devices: Clean your phone, laptop, iPad screens, and keyboards.
Digital content: Take screenshots of your website, Instagram grid, or any launch or campaign materials we can display on your devices.
Branded items: Business cards, notebooks, mugs, packaging, or anything with your logo.
Work essentials: Tools of your trade (like cameras, paintbrushes, favorite books, or a yoga mat).
Personal touches: Favorite desk accessories, flowers, plants, or anything that makes your space and style uniquely yours.
Place everything in a bag or box the night before, so you’re not scrambling the morning of your session.
Polished and Professional: Get Your Look Ready
You’ll want to feel confident and put-together during your session, so let’s make sure you’re prepared from head to toe:
Outfits: Have all your outfits ironed, steamed, and on hangers. Include any accessories or shoes.
Personal care kit: Bring a lint roller, hairbrush, touch-up makeup, and anything else to freshen up throughout the session.
Hair and nails: Make sure your nails are clean and neat, and style your hair the way you want it to appear in the photos. (No last-minute changes!)
Give Yourself Grace: It’s Totally Normal to Feel Nervous
I get it — stepping in front of the camera can feel a little intimidating. But here’s the good news: we’re going to have so much fun! I’ll guide you every step of the way, from posing to props, so you can relax and focus on being yourself. Trust me, when you see your final gallery filled with strategic, beautiful images, you’ll know it was all worth it!
