A branding session runs more smoothly with a small amount of planning done in advance, most of it simple once it’s written down in order.
Book early enough that your preferred date and location are actually available, particularly if timing matters. Confirm exactly what you’ll need to bring, outfit changes included. Share the brief in writing beforehand rather than explaining it all on the day, so nothing gets missed under time pressure.
On the day itself, build in more time than you think you need either side of the session. Rushing in or straight out afterwards is the easiest way to lose the relaxed atmosphere that makes for better images.

FAQs
A couple of quick answers.
How many images do we end up with?
A half-day session typically delivers 20 to 30 retouched images, a full day 40 to 60. The full proofing gallery is reviewed first, then the final retouch list is chosen.
Do you shoot product or workspace detail shots too?
Yes. Alongside people, product, workspace and detail shots give a marketing team a broader library to pull from.

The steps
The short version, step by step.
- Book early. Confirm your preferred date and location while both are actually available, particularly if timing matters.
- Confirm what to bring. Outfit changes, props, anything specific to the shoot. Sort this before the day, not on it.
- Share the brief in writing. Put it in writing beforehand rather than explaining it all on the day, so nothing gets missed under time pressure.
- Build in extra time on the day. More time than feels necessary either side of the session avoids rushing in or straight out afterwards.
