Brand Sessions in the JWP Studio

6M ago
  When I am working with a client a common question I get asked as a brand photographer is, “I don’t have a picture-perfect space so where will we shoot?” After all, not everyone has an Instagram-worthy home or office space - and that’s okay!  Over my five years serving entrepreneurs and small businesses, I’ve rented several different spaces throughout the Boston area to fit my clients’ needs and brand aesthetics. But last year I decided to “put down roots” as it were and establish my own shoot space - The JWP Studio.  I spent months redoing this gorgeous commercial location in ..read more

  I know that I harp on this but there is so much that goes into planning a brand photoshoot. And while much of the prep work is taken care of by your brand photographer, there are some tasks that need to be accomplished by you - the client. If you don’t give your photographer the information they need to plan your shoot, you aren’t going to get the results you want or need.   That’s why I like to go over with my clients what makes a successful personal branding session, as well as provide them with my shoot plan guide so they can give me the details that I need to inform all t ..read more

Brand Photos for Lifestyle Brands

  If you’ve been following me and reading my blog for a while you may have noticed that I work work mostly with service-based businesses. However, there are other brands that I will occasionally shoot that don’t sell a product or service, and instead they’re selling a lifestyle. After all, just because they don’t need to capture the typical working shots or a physical item, doesn’t mean they aren’t in need of photos.  In fact, these brands rely heavily on content marketing such as blogs, social media posts, etc., to connect with their audience and sell that lifestyle. To do this, th ..read more

  When you are in the middle of planning a branding shoot, the word “vibe” may come up as a way to nail down the end results of the session. A vibe transmits a feeling and usually connects to a person's emotional state as it is communicated to and felt by others. When it comes to photography, the vibe helps establish the overall feel of your shoot and that helps you to connect with your audience on that emotional level. This helps you to develop that know, like and trust factor that is so important when it comes to nurturing your client relationships.  Photos can have different vibe ..read more

  A few months ago I shared the tools that I use to run my brand photography business and Honeybook was the first tool on my list. That’s not just because it was the first thing I thought of, it really is the MVP of how I run my business. Honeybook is a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) and it allows me to automate much of my business workflow.  Just a few ways that I use Honeybook is:  Contact forms Sending out Invoices and Contracts Project Workflows But I also look at the reporting for: Lead capture Income (on a basic level since my financials actuall ..read more

  I know that I’ve talked about this before but when you are planning a brand photoshoot, there is so much to take into consideration. Locations, props, shot types, it just seems to quickly add up. But I will argue that one of the things that my clients are most concerned with as we go through my shoot plan process are their outfits which is why I recently created my Photoshoot Outfit Guide that you can grab here.  How you dress can say a lot about your brand as well as who you are. Depending on what you wear you can feel more confident, more aligned with your brand, and it can also ..read more

How I Time Block

  I love working for myself but I know I’m not alone when I say that being an entrepreneur is freaking hard. When the to-do list is always piling up and I feel like I never have time for myself, there have been moments where I felt like entreprenur life isn’t for me. This is something I have really struggled with over my almost 10 years in business.  “How can I benefit from entreprenurship with having more time to myself, and still get things done?”  The first step for me was cutting down my shoot days. What many people don’t realize is when you have a photography business, you ..read more

How Hard Light gave this Brand a very Editorial Look

  As a photographer, I have carved myself a niche when it comes to my style of shooting. Even when I was a wedding and family photographer at the beginning of my career I was drawn to the light and airy look and eventually found my style as a light, bright and airy photographer. When I transitioned to branding photography, I maintained that vibe, I just changed up my clientele. When I receive an inquiry to book a shoot, most people will actually tell me that they are contacting me because they love my aesthetic. They specifically want to work with me because of that light, bright and air ..read more
