the
Process
Working together to create beautiful photos that support your business goals.
-
the First Step
Let’s get all your questions answered right out the gate with a quick discovery call! Together we can talk through your goals and which photography package best suits your needs so you feel nothing but confident jumping into our collaboration.
After paying a 50% retainer + signing a contract we’re officially partners! I’m as excited as you are to start bringing your vision to life!!
-
The Most Important Step
Being fully prepared allows you to show up with total confidence, ensures we capture your must-have shots and creates room for spontaneity during your session when inspiration strikes.
QUESTIONNAIRE: Once you book, I will send you a brand questionnaire that will help me get to know your brand on a deeper level, understand your specific needs/style/vision and give us clarity on what photos will serve you best .
PLANNING SESSION: Afterward we will have a planning session either in person (my favorite) or via Zoom. Together we’ll identify everything you need from outfits, accessories and props—to a shot-list, timeline and locations. Even little details like getting a manicure so your hands are ready for close ups to making sure your laptop screen is free of fingerprints.
CUSTOM SESSION GUIDE: I’ll summarize everything we discussed in a clear session guide that includes our schedule, shot list and all the props we’ll need.
-
The All Fun Step
During the session we’ll chat and laugh as music plays in the background. All you have to do is follow my simple directions and remember to embrace who you are! I will capture your best angles and most desired shots, using our shoot plan as a guide; while also capturing the unplanned moments when inspiration strikes!
-
The Celebratory Step
Three weeks after your session, you will receive an online gallery displaying a variety of fully edited images that are all yours to download for immediate use! These photos are a celebration of everything you’ve built–soak them in.
-
The Biz Boosting Step
Your branding project isn’t complete until you implement your new photos! I’m happy to provide suggestions for how you can use your new brand images and/or connect you with some VAs or marketing agencies to help.
Lastly, share with me when you start posting your new brand photos on social media so I can cheer you on in the comments and share your biz with my followers!
“Jill is kind and fun, but also focused on getting the job done –which is 100% my style!”

It's completely normal to feel awkward in front of the camera. That's why I'll put on some music (if we're in a studio) and give you clear direction on what to do, balanced with giving you gentle prompts and watching what you do naturally. I like to capture a mix of intentional photos as well as the moments that organically unfold as we work together. We'll chat, we'll laugh, we'll keep it fun—I promise!
