I share portfolio building strategies you can use to build your Portfolio OR refine your portfolio and online brand to attract your dream Brides!
We discuss everything from simple techniques you can use right away, to more thorough strategies that require more planning!
How to capture photos while working a real wedding in a professional manner
Use natural lighting or your Makeup Light
Find a clean background, use anything that's on brand!
Snag a prop, if available, such as flowers or a champagne glass
How to do your own quick and easy portfolio photo session
I suggest doing these on a weekly basis if you're just starting out and really need to build your portfolio OR if you're in a re-branding process where you're taking your business to a new level
Do a model's hair & makeup (can be a friend or family member!)
Have them wear white or order an inexpensive dress from www.lulus.com
Snag some fresh flowers from a floral vendor OR faux flowers from Michaels or a craft supply, these can be used multiple times and look great in photos!
Take photos with your phone or pro camera
Take it up a notch by collabing with a Professional Photographer & Florist
