We’ve all been there! Your brand gallery lands in your inbox and you’re obsessed with the photos, you update your profile picture, post a few favorites, and then… what?
Now you’ve got 100+ gorgeous images sitting on your computer with no real plan for using them.
Listen, you invested in these photos, so let’s put them to work!
Here are 5 things I’d tell you to do right away:
1. Update your digital storefront
Website, booking pages, Google Business Profile, social media. Start where people are deciding whether to hire you.
2. The detail shots
Your workspace, the interactions, the behind-the-scenes moments. Those images tell your audience what it’s actually like to work with you!
3. Give every photo a purpose
Maybe teach something or answer a question? Pick your message and then choose the image that supports it!
4. For the love of the game, reuse your photos
Nobody is keeping tabs on your Instagram feed. One great image can tell five different stories! Use it!
5. Make a plan before you need a post
Grab 10 to 15 images, assign each a topic, and boom you’ve got weeks of content ready to go.
When I plan a brand session, I’m already thinking about how my clients will use their images across their marketing. That strategy shapes what we photograph and how I build their session.
A gallery full of beautiful photos is great but a gallery you know how to use is where the real value comes in.
So go open that folder of brand photos you’ve been ignoring! There is some marketing to do!😉
