Your Branding Photographic Experience

A Preparation Guide

Welcome to Noran Shine Studio — we're honored to collaborate with you.

This experience is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives who are ready to be seen with clarity and confidence. Branding photography here is not about quick updates or generic images — it's about creating purposeful visuals that reflect who you are, what you do, and how you want to show up in the world.

Whether you're refining your personal brand, launching something new, or stepping into a more visible chapter of your career, this experience is thoughtfully built around you.

Our role is to guide the process — strategically and creatively — so you can relax, feel supported, and walk away with imagery that works beautifully across platforms and feels unmistakably like you.

Preparing for Your Experience

Clarify Your Brand Focus

Before your session, take a moment to reflect on what you want your portraits to communicate.

  • How do you want to be perceived at first glance?
  • What qualities define your professional presence?
  • What should someone feel when they see your images?

These answers don't need to be perfectly articulated — they simply help us shape imagery that aligns with your goals, audience, and message.

What to Wear

Your wardrobe plays a key role in telling your brand story.

We recommend bringing 3–5 distinct looks to capture different facets of your brand. We'll discuss this in detail during your preparation call, but here are a few guiding principles:

  • Start with a polished, professional look that feels timeless
  • Choose clean lines, well-fitted pieces, and flattering colors
  • Avoid loud patterns, large logos, or anything distracting

From there, add variety:

  • A statement outfit that reflects confidence or creativity
  • A more relaxed look that feels approachable
  • Pieces that reflect your lifestyle, industry, or personality

Bring any shoes, layers, or undergarments needed for each look. Everything should feel comfortable — confidence photographs best.

Need Help Deciding?

If you're unsure about any outfits, I'm here to help!

Text me photos of your options — or even better, lay them out so I can see how the colors and textures play together. If you've created a Pinterest board or moodboard, I'd love to see it! It helps me align your styling with your vision and prepare accordingly.

Accessories & Personal Details

Small details can elevate your images and make them feel personal.

You're welcome to bring items that represent your brand or daily work — a notebook, tools of your trade, meaningful jewelry, or objects tied to your business or passions.

These elements help create imagery that feels authentic, intentional, and uniquely yours.

Skin, Hair & Nails

Well-cared-for details photograph beautifully.

  • Moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your session
  • Clean, natural nails or a simple polish work best
  • If grooming or haircuts are planned, schedule them a few days in advance

The Day Before Your Session

  • Review and pack all outfits and accessories
  • Steam or iron clothing and remove any tags
  • Stay hydrated and get a good night's rest
  • Allow yourself a calm, unhurried evening

The Day of Your Session

Arrive Ready to Be Taken Care Of

We've planned the day so everything flows smoothly.

Please arrive on time with clean, dry hair and a moisturized face. Wear loose, comfortable clothing — a zip-up or button-down works well to avoid marks on the skin.

We'll begin with professional hair and makeup to help you feel polished, confident, and camera-ready.

Snacks and beverages are provided — there's nothing you need to bring beyond yourself and your outfits.

Trust the Process

You don't need to practice posing or expressions.

We'll guide you through flattering poses, natural movement, and intentional moments designed to reflect confidence and approachability. You'll also see your portraits on screen as we go, which helps most clients relax quickly and feel assured.

Time Commitment

Please plan to spend up to five hours at the studio. This includes:

  • Professional hair and makeup
  • Your branding session
  • A same-day presentation of your images
  • A guided design and ordering consultation

The experience is intentionally unhurried and fully supported.

Same-Day Viewing & Ordering

Your image presentation and selection appointment takes place right after your session.

Together, we'll review your portraits and select the images that best represent your brand. From there, we'll discuss how you plan to use them — for web, social media, marketing, or printed display — and place your order.

Orders are finalized and paid for the same day.
