Preparing for a Successful Photoshoot

Whether you’re an entrepreneur doing a brand photoshoot, or you just want to take some personal blog photos or headshots, a successful photoshoot takes a lot of prep beforehand. In this episode, I go through my tips and tricks as a personal stylist on how to make your photoshoot go as smoothly as possible.

When I booked my first photoshoot, I was an aspiring influencer after leaving my branding job a few months before. I was in a very vulnerable place of transition and I was so nervous.

Although I had previous experience with photoshoots from my fashion and celebrity PR internships, there was something about this particular one - representing myself and my personal brand - that felt intensely scary. I actually had a panic attack the night before, and I didn’t know whether I could go through it. Luckily, I had a very understanding photographer who was happy to push the shoot to a little later so that I could gather myself, and we were able to have an amazing photoshoot.

I find a lot of creative fulfillment in helping my clients with their own photoshoots. There are so many things that can happen during a photoshoot day that can leave us feeling stressed out. From carrying all of your clothes, moving between different locations, meeting up with hairstylists, makeup artists, photographers… there’s a lot of fast-moving parts on a shoot day.

That’s why I’m sharing the tips I’ve learned from all of the photoshoots I’ve assisted, including my Photoshoot Ready VIP clients, on how to make sure your photoshoot goes as smoothly as possible so that you get the best photos out of them.
