Okay, cutie! You just booked your next branding session and I’m SO excited for you!!! Preparing for your brand session can feel overwhelming, exciting, with all the feels. You have big goals, bigger expectations and are ready to finally match your real life energy with what you’re sharing online.

Let’s ensure you’re well prepared and step into this next era with confidence, without wrinkles! Now that we have a date, location and all the vibes planned out, I wanna make sure you’re packed and ready to roll! Start prepping for your shoot about a week or two in advance. This way you have plenty of time for last minute details and AMAZON PRIME

PREPARING THE WEEK OF YOUR PHOTOSHOOT:

Outfits + Styling

•  Lay out 2–3 outfits the night before (mix professional, casual + fun looks)
•  Iron/steam shirts, blouses, and dresses, wrinkles do show!
•  Pack versatile layers (blazers, cardigans, jackets) for variety
•  Shoes for each outfit (bonus: bring one pair of fun statement shoes/boots!)
•  Neutral undergarments + anything needed for comfort and supporting the girls

Accessories + Details

•  Simple jewelry (studs, dainty necklaces, statement earrings)
•  Watches, bracelets, or meaningful accessories
•  Hair ties, clips, or headbands for quick style changes
•  Sunglasses (great for fun personality shots!)
•  Scarves, hats, or anything to add your own style

Beauty + Prepping

•  Nails: clean, neutral, or polished (your hands will be in shots!)
•  Touch-up makeup kit (powder, lipstick, or gloss)
•  Chapstick + lotion
•  Stay hydrated + bring water!

KEY TIP: If you love a bright and bold lip, bring your lipstick! I’d love to capture some shots without bright lips for more variety for you! It’s easier to add a lip color than remove it.

Props + Personal Touches

Bring items that represent your brand + daily life:

•  Laptop or tablet
•  Phone + chargers
•  Favorite journal, planner, or notebook
•  Pens, mugs, water bottle
•  Books you love or recommend (love supporting friends + fav authors)
•  Products you sell or tools you use (ex: microphone, camera, oils, yoga mat)

KEY TIP: Grab your microphone!!

Last Minute Extras to Pack

•  A tote or rolling suitcase to keep everything together
•  Lint roller (goodbye pet hair + fuzzies!)
•  Snacks if it’s gunna be a long day!

THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR BRANDING SESSION:

Try getting a good night’s sleep, you’ll look AND feel refreshed!
Eat something light before your shoot, fuel your energy.
Most importantly… bring your personality and have FUN!

You already have everything you need! Get some rest, set some intentions, and prepare to have some fun!!!

Can’t wait!!
