In this episode of RAW Edit, Kellie and Sarah are pulling back the curtain on the real secret to a successful photoshoot: preparation. If you think the magic starts when you pick up your camera — think again! It all happens before the session even begins.
We’re sharing our full pre-session workflow to help you show up confident, calm, and ready to create stunning images, every time.
Here’s what we dive into:
- Location Scouting: How we find perfect spots (and backups!) to match every client’s vibe.
- Outfit Reviews & Client Communication: Helping clients feel confident and prepared with outfits that photograph beautifully.
- Gear Prep Essentials: Our exact checklist for camera gear, backup plans, and session-day must-haves.
- Packing Like a Pro: How we organize everything — from gear bags to comfort items — so sessions run smooth.
- Mindset & Final Prep: How we get in the right headspace before every session and why it matters.
✨ Plus, we’re sharing personal stories about times prep saved the day — and what happens when it doesn’t. 😅
If you want less stress, fewer surprises, and smoother sessions, this episode is packed with easy, actionable tips you can start using now.
