If you’re in the Tri-Cities, WA area, you want to check this place out.

It’s called the Selfie Studio and it’s located in Downtown Kennewick. This space is so cool, it’s basically a dozen or so little areas that are totally decked out with different backdrops and props. Not only is it a great space to spend an afternoon of wholesome fun creating pictures and videos with friends, they’re also a great spot to get team photos with your staff.

One of the biggest reasons for a branding photography session (outside of making your life easier with made-for-you marketing images) is showcasing what makes you uniquely wonderful. This helps draw in your ideal clients, the people you want to serve the most. To do this, I highly encourage my clients (and you!) to embrace their weird. Lean into it. Get as weird – or as unweird – as you truly want to be.

But how do you do this?

Let’s talk about it.

Normally I wouldn’t even THINK about talking winter holidays until like November 20th.

They’re just not my thing.

But you know what is my thing?

Pictures. Lifting up other businesses. Making business owners’ lives easier. Creating gorgeous images for you to use in your marketing.

Locally owned businesses are a blast to work with.

And what’s even better is working with locally owned businesses I LOVE.

The very first time I went to Crepehaus & El Compadre I was amazed. There aren’t a lot of places where a vegetarian, someone with food allergies, and a person on a special diet can all go and get delicious food without ordering off-menu. But the owners, Jackie, Al, and Marvin, have created a space where that can happen.

Your branding session is a big deal. The pictures you’re going to get during your session are going to represent your business and brand for at least the next few months, if not the next year. So it makes sense that you want to make sure it all works out the way you plan.

A lot of my clients aren’t sure where to start, and some of them know exactly what they want. Whichever camp you fall into, even if you’re somewhere in the middle, I’ve compiled a list of 5 tips to prepare for your branding photography session.

Leveling up your marketing by investing in professional branding photography is a scary next step in your business. I understand! Spending money can be intimidating, but it’s also necessary to invest in your business to continue growing.

So I’ve created this step-by-step explanation showing you exactly what I do to ensure that your branding session is everything you need it to be. When clients book with me I want them to feel confident that they’re getting quality work from someone they trust.
