Elevate Your Brand Photos: Attract Higher-Paying Clients with Luxe Visuals
I’m beyond excited to share some insider tips on how to make your brand photos look absolutely luxurious, attracting those high-paying clients you dream about. Whether you're a high-level coach, a business owner, or a creative professional, these strategies will elevate your visuals to the next level. And the best part? They're achievable, not overly expensive (and expensable to your business) and designed to resonate perfectly with your audience.
Have a look through and choose the tips that resonate with you and the lovelies you want to bring into your world. Take what works and leave the others!
Glam Up with a Professional Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist
First things first – when it comes to looking put together and unstoppable, professional makeup and hair styling are fairly non-negotiable.
Whether you can do it all yourself, or would rather pass it off by hiring a talented makeup artist and hair stylist, the inner confidence boost and outer transformation will give you that polished, camera-ready finish. Plan your shoot day to include these experts - you won't regret it!
Even better if you can just book them for the day and they can provide touch-ups throughout! What a dream to be catered to ALL day!
Bring an Assistant to your Luxury Brand Photoshoot Day!
Having an assistant on the day of your shoot can be a game-changer.
They can help with everything from adjusting your outfit and fixing stray hairs to managing props and keeping you hydrated. And even those capture behind the scenes clips that are excellent for social media. You AND your photographer will LOVE the help throughout the day.
With an extra pair of hands, you'll be able to focus on being your fabulous, unapologitic self in front of the camera. Plus, it's always fun to have your own personal hybe gal to share the experience with!
Rent or Borrow Clothes
Luxury looks don't have to mean breaking the bank. Renting high-end clothing or borrowing from stylish friends can give you access to designer pieces that you might not normally wear. Websites like Rent the Runway, Hurr, and Hirestreet, offer stunning outfits (and shoes, handbags, and accessories) that will make you look and feel like a million bucks without spending a fortune!
Share the Cost with a Business Buddy
Team up with a business pal and split the costs of renting clothes, spaces, or even hiring professionals. This way, you both get to enjoy a luxurious experience and can afford to go all out on those high-end details that make a big difference in your photos.
Plus, you can cheer each other on, pretend to be each others' clients, capture content for socials, and make amazing memories together! It's such a win-win! The only downside is having to share shoot time but if you're ok with that and with having images in the same location as them, it's totally worth it!
Choose a Stunning Location
The setting of your photoshoot plays a huge role in creating that luxurious feel. Rent a beautiful space – think chic lofts, stylish studios, or even a posh hotel suite.
The right backdrop will add an instant touch of lux to your photos. And the wrong one can totally ruin the expansive vibe you're going for! Trust me - if you only invest in ONE thing for your shoot, I would recommend it be the shoot location. Don't know how to find shoot rental locations or what to look for in one?

And if you have a coach and they're putting together a retreat, beg them to book a stunning, photogenic villa and have them bring along a photographer so all the guests can leave with fresh stunning photos!

Keep the Tags On
Sometimes, it's the little workarounds that can make all the difference. Keeping the tags on fresh items and then returning them after the shoot is a clever way to add new pieces to your wardrobe just for your shoot day. I have a client who did this with THOUSANDS of pounds worth of dresses! Just be sure to keep everything in mint condition and get it back to the shop before the return window closes!
Borrow or Rent a Fancy Car
Nothing says luxury like a sleek, high-end car. If you can, borrow or rent a friend's nice car for your shoot. It can serve as a great prop and give your photos that upscale vibe. But only if it suits your brand! The next step in the car concept is to make sure to shoot in a place where you can show it off!
