Personal Branding
Mini Session Welcome Guide
I’m so glad you’re here, ready to begin your personal branding journey! My goal is to capture images that feel truly you and help your brand to stand out.
Below are resources that will help you feel confident and prepared going into your branding photoshoot.
Start To Finish
Discovery Call
Okay so you've booked in? What's Next?
I'd love to hop on a discovery call to chat through you, your brand and your goals. Here we'll chat all about your brand, the type of photos you need, the moodboard for the shoot ( Don't worry if you don't have one yet, I can help)
The Goal here is to ensure you feel 100% confident and comfortable going into the photoshoot.
Photoshoot
The big day is here!
Sable Studio owner, Lesiele Juliet is on hand to help with any prep and styling that is needed on the day.
I’ve got plenty of poses up my sleeve to guide you, along with a designated Pinterest board for additional inspiration if needed.
Most importantly—this should be fun! We’ll have fun, get you feeling relaxed, and capture photos that feel like you.
Photo Selection
I’ll go through all the raw images, clear out any duplicates, and tweak the lighting & colour so you can get a better idea of how the final shots will look.
After the shoot, you will get a link to preview the images and pick your favourites. Your chosen package includes 15 final images, but if you spot extras you love, you’ll have the option to upgrade.
When it comes to edits, I keep things natural—nothing overly airbrushed, just some natural retouching to remove stray hairs, blemishes, and anything distracting in the background. If there is anything in particular you would like edited feel free to tell me!
Final Photos
Your final photos will be ready within two weeks from the day I get the selections back.
Once ready you will receive a download link to them which will include the high res files along with web-sized filed so they are ready to be used.
Need them in a rush? I can do a 2-3 day turnaround at an extra fee if you need the photos asap.
Getting Prepared:
Brand Colours
Incorporating your brand colours into your images is the perfect way to create consistency across your platforms. Bringing them into the clothing you choose, the props you choose and the location we shoot in is a quick and easy way to bring them in.
Props
Props are a great way to make the shots feel real and personal. Think about what you use day-to-day in your business, that way we can bring that behind-the-scenes feel to the images. These can include your product, craft, laptop, portfolio, notebooks etc. Think about what feel right to you. We will have fresh flowers on the day and Sable studios will be providing beautiful props on the day too to help style the scenes.
Styling/Hair/Make-up
Bringing your brand colours in through your clothes is a great way to create a sense of consistency in your images. Having lots of options for clothing is also a great way to create variety in your shots so you can get more time re-using them across platforms. I recommend bringing your outfits separate and changing once you arrive so that you don't have any unwanted creases. But don't worry there is a steamer there on the day!
I always have a kit with any extra bits you might need: hair brush, hair spray, pins, lint roller, you name it! If you're interested in going the extra mile and having hair and makeup done on the day get in touch with me and I can recommend some local vendors.
Shot List
Your shot list can be super simple or very detailed depending on what works for you. Having a shot list of what you need is a great way to arrive prepared and get straight into shooting. It might be that you are preparing for a new website launch or marketing strategy which means you'll need certain amounts banner images, headshots, behind-the-scenes images etc.
We'll have designated set-ups ready to go on the day and can add props to make it feel unique to you.
