Hey there!

Use this checklist to help you prepare for your branding session.

​

Clothing:

☐ Plan for 2-3 different outfits that align with your brand (this can be a top change or whole outfit change)

☐ Bring two pairs of shoes (heels, platforms, sneakers, flats, boots)

☐ Be mindful of your socks, preferably wear stockings if you are wearing a dress/ or skirt

☐ Select a few accessories that allow for movements during the session, such as jackets, blazer, hats, or scarves (however only if this represents you)

☐ Be sure to steam/ iron clothing beforehand

​

Grooming:

☐ If you are having your hair done by the artist make sure your hair is washed the day before

☐ Arrive to the session with a makeup-free face for FULL MAKEUP

☐ Be sure to have your base done for EXPRESS MAKEUP

☐ Pack any makeup that you absolutely want to use throughout (lipgloss, lipstick)

☐If you plan on getting waxed, doing a facial, or anything of the sort, make sure to do it at least 1 week in advance

☐ Make sure your nails have a fresh coast of nail polish or they are completley bare. Avoid chipped nails

​

Props:

☐ Consider various props that represent your daily activities, such as your favorite mug, laptop, or cellphone

☐ Prepare any products that represent your brand and business. (For example, designers can bring color swatches, photographers should bring their cameras, and real estate agents may bring a SOLD sign, fleurist bouquets/flowers etc...)

☐ Bring business accessories: business cards, stationary, anything with your logo, etc...

☐ Remove any price tags/ labels that may be showing
