What It’s Like to Work With Me
Spoiler: It’s a little fun, a little vibey, and a lot easier than you think.
If you’ve ever looked at a brand photographer’s work and thought, “Cool, but how does this actually happen?”—this post is for you.
Here’s what it’s like when you book a shoot with me, from planning to final gallery.
1. We’ll Start With the Vision (Even If Yours Feels Messy)
You don’t have to show up with a full Pinterest board and ten paragraphs of brand copy. Some clients know exactly what they want. Some show up with “I just know I need better photos.” Either way, I’ll ask the right questions, build a custom shot list, and help shape your session around you—your vibe, your goals, and how you actually use your content.
2. It Won’t Feel Like a Photoshoot
You will not be stiffly posing in a sterile white space wondering what to do with your hands. My sessions are relaxed and collaborative. I use natural light whenever possible. If the vibe feels off, I’ll put on music (yes, probably folky bullshit) and let things flow. You’ll get to move, breathe, laugh, adjust, snack, talk—and honestly? You’ll forget the camera’s there most of the time.
3. I’m Fast, But I Still Obsess Over the Details
I shoot fast because I’ve been doing this forever—but don’t let that fool you into thinking I’m not paying attention. I’m watching for wind, shadows, product placement, hands, hair, awkward signage in the background… all of it. I’ll fix a crooked napkin and also remind you to take a sip of that cocktail so we can get the perfect relaxed shot. I’m in it with you the whole time.
4. You Get Sneak Peeks Right Away (Because Waiting Sucks)
I always send day-of sneak peeks so you can start using your new content immediately. This also gives you a little confidence boost mid-week because—let’s be honest—getting new photos of yourself and your brand that you actually like feels really damn good.
5. You Leave With Content You’ll Actually Use
You won’t get a gallery full of filler shots or images that only make sense in one specific context. You’ll get high-quality, versatile photos you can plug into your website, socials, newsletters, signage, press kits, or wherever else your brand shows up. My goal? To make your life easier, your brand feel more like you, and your content look damn good.
Ready When You Are
Every brand deserves photos that feel intentional, lived-in, and real—not stock, not stiff, and definitely not boring.
If that sounds like what you need, I’d love to work together.
