    Ready to elevate your brand visuals? Let’s talk about 5 props that you will want to incorporate into your next brand shoot!

    Statement Pieces

    A statement piece or that showcases your brand’s personality and style. Whether it’s a bold accessory or a unique piece of decor, make sure it speaks to your brand’s values!

    I’ve had clients in the past incorporate props like coffee mugs with their logos, accent chairs in their brand colors and even pets that often make an appearance on their Zoom calls incorporated into their photos!

    Fresh Florals or Greenery

    Fresh florals or greenery to add a pop of color and life to your photos! Not only do they look beautiful, but they also convey a sense of vibrancy and add a sophisticated layer to any shot. If a lot of your work involves events, being outdoors or even encouraging your clients to take time outside for themselves – incorporating a bit of greenery or florals can help convey this message visually in your photos!

    Personalized Stationery

    If you have personalized stationery or items with your business logo around your office – let’s show them off! We’ll make sure to strategically place any personalized stationery, like business cards or letterhead, into some of your shots for a polished touch. Creating compelling imagery is all in the details and custom stationery and pieces that are unique to your business help relay your sense of professionalism and credibility.

    On-Brand Beverage or Snack

    An on-brand beverage or snack to add a fun and playful element to your shoot! It’ll help showcase a little bit of your personality and can provide to be a simple yet strong connection point with your client!

    Whether it’s a custom cocktail or a branded cupcake, it’s a great way to show off your brand’s personality and have some fun on set!

    I send out a custom questionnaire to each one of my branding clients to help them think through elements like this that we can pull into their shoot each time!

    Unique Backdrop

    Your brand has a vibe, an aesthetic that sets it apart. Reflect that in your shoot by choosing a backdrop or setting that aligns with your brand’s essence. It could be popping over to your favorite local coffeeshop that you often work out of or a hotel lobby nearby that totally matches your brand vibe – the possibilities are endless, it just takes some thinking outside of the box!

    As your brand photographer, I’ll help you brainstorm on potential locations that match your brand for our shoot!

    I also create a custom packing list for you based off of my market research, digging deep into your brand and your brand questionnaire before your session!
