Are you planning to have a photoshoot for your pet business?
You want to make sure you get the most from your investment but you might also feel a bit camera shy?
If this sounds like you, I hear you.
I can't STAND having my photo taken and over the years I've been to hundreds of photoshoots as a journalist, and supported other people who have felt the same.
So I've put together a PDF checklist for you to follow to make sure your shoot goes smoothly.
It covers:
📸 How to choose a photographer
💇♀️ What to do on the day so you feel more confident
🐕 Ideas for shots to portray what you do in your business
👗 What to wear - and what's a no-no for editors
👩💻 How to get more bang for your buck by using the images on social media
And there's a podcast episode explaining each step too.
Michelle Burgess from Scruffy Little Terrier says:
"I used Rachel’s guide before my first professional shoot for a range of photos I needed; lifestyle, products, headshots and hero website shots etc.
"Using the guide helped me think about what photos I needed for different uses which really helped for working with a new photographer.
"I was very nervous but using the checklist and taking time to think about it really helped me get a lot of photos to use in my business."
