What does a branding photo session look like? In November 2019 I was able to do a mini branding session with a friend who I’ve worked with several times before. This session is the perfect example to discuss the branding session experience because we did a little of everything; product shots, action shots, and some cute social media portraits.
Before we get into the gorgeous photos, let me talk about all the people involved in this session!
My client was Jaime Smith of Jaime Ta Creative. She is a model and event planner in Portland Oregon. She is an advocate for women and people of color who are also business owners, and she practices what she preaches. She makes hosting an event so easy for her clients and her sweet calm presence is a breath of fresh air! Her website is HERE.
She brought along some beautiful hand made crowns by a local Portland Artisan, Stem and Stone crowns, website HERE
as well as an invitation suite designed by another Portland local; Wander Love Design Co, website HERE
Finally, our photo session location was in the lobby of one of Portland's most beautiful hotels, the Woodlark, website HERE.
We started off Jaime’s branding session with some detail shots of the props from some vendors…
…and then moved into some action shots of her arranging them for a flat lay. What beautiful items for a unique wedding or event!
Then we changed up her outfit a little and ventured further into the lobby for some more classic portraits.
Lastly, we ended her session with some portraits outside in the autumn sunshine and color.
There you have it! A mini branding session. A full branding session is essentially the same, but we simply plan more locations and outfits to get more variety.
I’m so thankful to Jaime and her connections for how beautiful this session turned out and how smoothly everything went. As a reminder, the links to everyone are at the top of this post!
