5 Tips How To Hire A Brand Photographer: Oshawa_Toronto_Durham Region_Brand_Petra_King_Photography
In a sea of Photographers, how do you know who is right for you? There is so many things to consider when you are thinking about a Personal Branding shoot. Here are 5 tips to consider to make the process a little less daunting.
Set a Budget: as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Not all photographers are equal. Do your research and save your pennies. It will be worth it!
Research: that aside, just because someone has high end pricing that isn’t to say they are right for you. Fine someone who resonates with you and goes above and beyond to help YOU bring your vision to life. Look for the connection and trust. If you aren’t “feeling it” more along.
Come Prepared: make a list of photographs you need done. Having a general idea of what you need photographed to help launch yourself forward is key.
Hire: Book your photographer. Plan for your session and leave the rest up to the photographer. They should provide you with a guide or list of things to make your photoshoot go smoothly. Ask lots of questions and be honest. The more you know, the easier the process is for both parties.
Post Shoot: Use your new content and images wisely. Plan your social media posts, create blog posts, update that website and share what makes YOU unique with your fresh new content. Most importantly…plan on booking another one for the next quarter or season. Planning ahead minimizes the stress and frustration of where do I go next? What do I need to share and how will your next client find you.
In addition to the few tips above, here is a quick download that you are welcome to use as a reminder of the things to consider when planning. Remember I of course want the very best for you too!
Enjoy and till next time!
Nested Bean_Branding_Partnership_Petra_King_Photography
If you have been following along over on Instagram you’ll know that the studio has been a buzz lately. It’s pretty awesome and I am so grateful for you all. I wanted to share with you a fun shoot that we did last month when Nested Bean contacted the studio for a Branding Partnership. Naturally I did some research on them as any parent would and found that this company’s core values and interests resonated with my niche and the well being of babies and parents. When working with other companies, one of the first things I look for is…”Would I use this myself?” I am a mother myself, so therefore if there is a comes to products, if I am not a firm believer and lover of things then it’s not something I would pass along to my clients and families.
When you become a parent, one of the things that is universally deprived is sleep. Am I right?
Nested Bean created a product that every mom and dad can use. The Zen Sack is one of their best sellers and you can see why. This “baby sleeping bag” is designed so that it is gently weighted on baby’s chest to mimic the gentle pressure of mom or dad’s hand to soothe baby to sleep. The fabric is cotton and bamboo and super soft. It’s easy to close and open zipper along the side and has 2 settings for dome closures over the shoulders.
We did a Branding Shoot with 4 sweet little babies in studio. All various ages and we couldn’t have been more excited. Both Mom’s and Babies did amazing! A HUGE thank you goes out to all who visited and helped us out.
Here’s a little of what we captured for our Branding Campaign. Just look at these happy babies….
Nested Bean provided us with 3-6 and 6-12 month old Zen Sacks. Plenty of room to grow and many nights ahead of sleep for these little ones.
Thank you Nested Bean, and our adorable little babies. This was such a fun opportunity! IF you have a little one and have been on the fence about a product to aid with sleeping. I highly recommend you check out the Zen Sack. They also carry a few other options that are lighter weight for those hot and humid summer nights.
Till next time, have a great week! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about this product OR reach out to customer service at Nested Bean too. They are AMAZING!
Sweet Dreams!
