Branding Session with Routine Your Dream
When it comes to branding photography, no two sessions should look the same—because no two businesses are the same.
That’s exactly what made this shoot with Chynell, founder of Routine Your Dream, such a joy to capture. From the first conversation, it was clear she had a strong vision rooted in intention, creativity, and clarity—and she trusted me to bring it to life in a way that felt completely true to her.
The Secret to a Powerful Branding Shoot? Personalization.
Your brand is more than a logo or color palette—it’s a feeling. The goal of a personalized branding session is to visually communicate that feeling to your audience in a way that’s both beautiful and strategic.
Here’s how we did that with Chynell’s session:
1. Choosing the Right Colors
Before the shoot, we discussed her brand’s tone—fun, organized, inviting, and confident. Those traits showed up in her wardrobe choices, set styling, and even the backdrops we used. Personality came through with intentional pops of color through outfits and props.
Tip for your session: Think about the colors that best represent your business. Are they bold and energetic? Soft and welcoming? Subtle and elevated? Color is one of the first impressions your audience gets. Use it well!
2. Bringing in Meaningful Props
Chynell’s session wasn’t just her sitting in front of a camera. She came prepared with props that reflected her actual workflow and client experience. Flowers, wine glass, brand materials, and even the mugs she loves to use when working with clients – all of it played a part in telling her story visually.
Tip for your session: Props help contextualize what you do and make your session feel real, not posed. Think about what objects are part of your daily process; then let’s photograph you using them.
3. Prepping With Purpose
We didn’t wing this session. Chynell was intentional with her prepping to make sure this session was unique to HER. Our planning allowed us to stay flexible and intentional the day of. The result? A gallery full of images that not only look beautiful, but can be used across her website, client materials, and social media for months.
Tip for your session: A little prep goes a long way. Knowing what you want your images to do helps us create content that has long-term value… not just aesthetic appeal.
The Takeaway
Brand photography should feel like you. Not just how you look; but how you work, how you serve, and what your clients feel when they interact with your business.
Sessions like Chynell’s are proof that when you come in with intention, we can create magic that’s as strategic as it is stunning.
