Your Vibe Session Starts Here
Your session is officially on the calendar — now let’s get intentional. This guide will walk you through how to prepare, what to bring, and how to get the most out of your time in the studio.
THE EXPERIENCE
First things first — you don’t need to have it all figured out
You don’t need a perfectly polished brand, a Pinterest-worthy closet, or a list of poses saved on your phone.
That’s our job.
Your job?
Show up with your story, your personality, and the pieces that make your brand yours.
Then maybe:
✨ We help direct posing
✨ We guide creative ideas
✨ We capture personality + purpose
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Things to think through:
➕ What do you want people to feel when they find your brand?
➕ What parts of your process do people not see?
➕ What questions are you always answering?
➕ What makes working with you different?
(this is so your brand photo philosophy)
OUTFIT GUIDE
Dress Like The Version of You Your Clients Actually Meet
Your brand photos should feel like you — not a costume you put on because you think that’s what a “professional” looks like.
If you live in jeans, don’t force yourself into a suit.
If dresses make you feel confident, bring the dress.
If your everyday brand is sneakers, creative layers, bold colors, neutrals, business casual, or something completely different — lean into that.
The goal isn’t to look like everyone else in your industry. The goal is for someone to see your photos, meet you in real life, and feel like they already knew you.
Think about:
• What outfits make you stand a little taller?
• What pieces feel like your personality?
• What would your clients recognize you in?
• What feels aligned with the experience you create?
Elevated doesn’t mean unfamiliar. Professional doesn’t mean pretending.
Bring the version of yourself you want more people to connect with — we’ll help capture the rest.
The Everyday You
Your go-to style, but elevated. Think about what you naturally reach for when you want to feel confident.
Ideas:
your favorite denim
classic basics
elevated tees/tanks
sweaters
relaxed button downs
business casual pieces
sneakers, flats, boots, heels — whatever feels like you
Your “I’m showing up to meet my dream client” outfit.
The Elevated You
The look that feels like stepping into your next chapter.
This is your chance to bring the outfit that gives a little extra confidence.
Ideas:
blazers
structured pieces
dresses/jumpsuits
monochromatic looks
statement jackets
beautiful textures (linen, silk, leather, knits)
Not because you “should” look professional — because sometimes clothes help tell the story of where you’re going.
The Personality Piece
The thing that makes people remember you.
This is where your brand gets its heartbeat.
Ideas:
bold colors
fun patterns
hats
statement shoes
jewelry
your signature accessory
your favorite jacket
something unexpected
If someone says “that is SO you” — bring it.
WHAT TO BRING
The magic is usually in the little things
☕ The coffee order you always have
💻 Laptop/tools (have your landing page or logo saved on there to pull up
📚 Favorite books
📦 Packaging/products
📝 Notebook/planner
🎨 Creative supplies - every day digital tools
Newpapers - print outs with quotes or photos

Anything that tells the story of what it feels like to work with you.
Shoot day
01. Settle In + Get Comfortable
When you arrive, we’ll give you a tour of the studio, look through your outfits and ideas, and ease into creating — no pressure to walk in knowing exactly what to do.
02. Create With Direction
You don’t need to know how to pose, where to look, or what to do with your hands (everyone asks 😉). We’ll guide you through natural movement, prompts, and setups that feel aligned with you.
03. Capture The Full Story
We’ll create a mix of intentional brand images — from polished portraits to personality-filled moments, behind-the-scenes details, and everything that makes your brand feel like you.
04. Bring The Vibe To Life
The best images happen when you stop trying to “perform” and start showing up as yourself. We’ll help bring out the personality, confidence, and connection behind your brand.

Organic. Intentional. Effortless.
