YOUR CURRENT CHALLENGE

You feel unprepared at brand sessions, and your clients don't bring what you need to create magic. 

(I'm not trying to be dramatic here, I'm being sincere. When you own a business, it's so much harder to find that separation between your life and your work... Rebrand changed my business which went hand in hand in changing my life FOR THE BETTER.) 

You have all your best ideas after your brand session is wrapped.

Your galleries feel stale and boring, and consist of mostly headshots.

Your clients aren't using their photos, even if they say they love them.

You're feeling dragged down by subpar locations (wtf is with all these brown walls and no windows?!)

Your clients are silent after you send their photos, and return clients and referrals are rare.

I used to deliver galleries to my clients and never see them used. I tried everything to change this:

🎥 I recorded Loom videos walking them through their galleries. (They were mostly unwatched.)
 
🎨 I created Canva templates so they could easily incorporate their photos into their current branding. (They didn't get used.)
 
📞 I offered post-session content planning calls where we'd create content together in real time. (No one booked them.

❓ They needed someone to sit down with them and ask the right questions so we could create the exact shots they needed to help make their branding and marketing easier. 
 
🥅 They needed help articulating what the goal of the session was, so they'd be excited to put their photos to use when they got them. 
 
🤩 They needed someone to help build their confidence during the planning and shoot process, so they'd feel ready to show up as themselves when dozens of gorgeous photos landed in their inbox. 

When you plan a personal brand session with strategy from the get-go, you end up with clients who love and use their photos, tell their business-owner friends about you, and return for sessions again and again. 


But then I realized: my clients didn't need help with using their photos after the session.

They needed it before.

Rachael was an incredibly talented photographer, but struggled with getting her clients to use their images. She would get home from brand sessions and think of all the shots she didn't get.

Understanding how to plan a brand session and get all the shots her clients need (and will actually use) has totally changed Rachael's business.

She's done booking weddings, leaving more time on nights and weekends for her four kids.

She has an ongoing partnership as the primary photography of a national retail brand, and she just wrapped up a project with a celebrity brand that found her through past work.

Rachael quit weddings and is shooting for national brands.
