Props are an essential piece to the puzzle that is the perfect branding session! We know it can be overwhelming to look through your office or home trying to figure out what screams you and your brand, which is why we want to help you out! Here’s a few things to consider when choosing your session props…
Q: What do you use the most? If it’s something that’s central to your business, it might be important to include it in your session.
Q: What matches your brand aesthetic? Having a cohesive brand style is so important to having photos that you’ll use often. If it doesn’t match your style, you won’t share it!
Q: What story do you want to tell? Some business owners want a more personal touch to their sessions, while others want to keep things focused and professional. The props that you bring will impact the story you want to tell
Think of our studio as a blank (but very stylish) canvas that you need to paint with the colors of you and your brand’s aesthetic. The props and pieces you bring in to spice up our space will help the photos to stand out and show off your true style. That’s why it’s important to think outside the box a bit when it comes to the props you choose!
Some very common props for branding sessions include laptops, coffee mugs, books, iPads, and tools of your trade. While these are great stock photos for practical posts, we also recommend getting creative with your ideas to really stand out from the crowd of competitors.
When the Pink Door team shot our very own branding sessions, things got pretty wild. Sure, we’re a bunch of creatives, but a lesson can be learned on thinking outside of the box while still staying true to your style. Whether it’s a piece of fruit that perfectly aligns with your brand colors or a knick knack on your desk that perfectly summarizes your personality and passions, pack it up and bring it to your session! We’ll help to style our sets to include the best of your brand.
