Your style consult is coming up, and I hope you’re as excited about your photoshoot as I am! If you’re uncertain as to what this style consult is about, I’ll be here to walk you through what we’ll be going over and what you should have prepared for our call!
The purpose of this style consult is to check in to see where you are with your outfit ideas and overall to get a better sense of what you’re looking for in your photoshoot. Whether you have all your outfits planned or no idea at all, it’s important that we check in before your shoot~
Questions to Keep In Mind
If you don’t know what kind of photoshoot you want, try thinking through these questions:
- How do I want to portray myself in these portraits?
- What do I want others to feel when they see these photos? (personal branding)
- Where and how do I want to use my images to celebrate myself and decorate my space?
How Many Outfits Should I Prepare?
Now, you don’t need to have all your outfits picked out quite yet, but we are trying to aim for 4-6 different outfits! We want to think about how we can create variety during your session through different fabric textures, styles, and colors!
You can refer to the style guide from your welcome packet if you’re feeling stuck! David also has a video on the 5 Essential Photoshoot Outfits which can help you get started.
Creating a Moodboard
The best way to start planning for your photoshoot is to create a moodboard! An easy way to start is through Pinterest! You can add anything that inspires you: clothing, colors, poses, etc!
How to Search: We can start with something simple like “portrait photography.” Once you find a few photos that you really like, you can start adding other word to narrow your search.
You can try: sexy, bold, classic, soft, shadows, floral, etc.
Here is an example of what David’s moodboard looked like for one of his self portrait shoots!
Final Remarks
Overall, don’t stress about the style consult~ Creating your moodboard and planning your shoot should be fun and exciting. I hope reading or skimming through this helps! Excited to {virtually} see you soon!
