šŸ’› ā€œNow I feel like I have way more options instead of doing the same poses over and over!ā€ — Kim

70   pages packed with brand photo inspiration

No vague prompts or AI-generated inspiration. Just real people, real brand photos and clear directions to help you picture what you want and communicate it to your photographer.

WHY I CREATED THIS

Because ā€œI need brand photosā€ isn’t much of a plan.

I’ve worked with so many women who know they need new brand photos but can’t picture what they actually need. So they scroll Pinterest for hours, save a random mix of images and still walk into their photoshoot without a clear vision.

After hundreds of photoshoots, I’ve seen which poses, expressions and setups consistently work. I created this guide to put those ideas in one place, with real-photo examples and simple directions to help you find what feels like you and communicate it to your photographer.

You don’t have to be the creative one. You just need ideas you can actually see.

WHO MADE THIS?

            I’m Christina, and trust me, I know a thing or two about planning brand photoshoots.

I’ve been photographing women since 2006, so yes, I’ve spent a ridiculous number of hours telling people what to do with their hands. šŸ˜‚

After hundreds of photoshoots, I’ve learned that the smallest details can completely change an image. A different expression, a simple prop or one tiny adjustment can take you from another awkward photo you’ll never use to something that actually feels like you.

I created this guide to gather all those tried-and-tested ideas in one place, so you don’t have to figure them out from scratch.

Oh, hey!

ā€œThis guide is FULL of so many useful ideas!ā€

"I’ll have ideas in my head, but then I don’t always know what to do with my hands, how to stand or lean, or what expression to make to give the photo a completely different vibe. It definitely gave me a lot of ideas I wouldn’t have thought of on my own, and now I feel like I have way more options instead of just doing the same poses over and over!"

ā€œThe photos and instructions are so clear and easy to follow - so many ideas I never would have thought of.ā€

But Christina, do I really need 197 ideas?

Not all at once. You just need enough options to find the ones that feel like you.

But you can’t picture what you actually need photos of.

And would love more options for your hands, expressions, props and movement.

And you want a clear vision you can bring to your photographer.
