Mary is a writer, she’s had two books published to date and she teaches others to go from idea to book in no time! What I loved about her right away is that her focus was to help people discover their creativity by loosening the constraints of the “rules.”
We had a lot of fun figuring out her brand photography session! We only used her home for the shoot (no other locations, but look at all the variety!) and it was perfect. It’s common to use someone’s home as part of their shoot, especially if they also work from home. People love to see your workspace!
This was the FIRST photoshoot I’d done since COVID-19 quarantine, so I wore a mask the whole time, which was INTERESTING for sure! It kept causing my eyepiece on my camera to fog up, and I didn’t have much peripheral vision below me, so I ran into some things a few times! But we still had a really amazing brand session!
Since she does work from home and is also a mom, we brought her son in at the end of the shoot. She is often teaching other work-from-home moms so it’s important to show that she GETS IT!
One of the things I always make sure of is that wardrobe choices & elements in each photo point to each other. So, she’s got the yellow striped shirt, which also goes with the lemons, and the vase from the lemonade matches the pillows that are outdoors when she’s journaling! These are the kinds of things that will keep her brand photos looking consistent no matter where she uses them!
