As I reflect on the stunning mini sessions taken at Chautauqua in Boulder, Colorado, I’m reminded of the importance of a style guide. The beautiful mountains, ideal weather, and coordinating outfits all came together to create unforgettable moments between family members. But it wasn’t just the setting that made these photos special. It was the thought and effort that went into planning each family’s look. A style guide is essential for capturing these kinds of heartwarming moments. It ensures that clients know what to expect and how to prepare. Now let’s discuss what to include in the style guide blueprint!
What to Include in Your Photographer’s Guide
Exactly what should you include in your style guide as an up-and-coming photographer? Start by outlining the basics: scheduling, location choices, and outfit expectations. This should include tips on how many outfits to bring, what colors to choose from, and how to mix and match pieces for a cohesive look. For the fashion-conscious photographer, consider including sections on hair and makeup, as well as specific advice for men, women, and children. Don’t forget to cover important details like coordinating the looks, prepping for different seasons, and preparing for photo delivery timelines.
The Style Guide Blueprint Dos and Don’ts
By including these essential details in your style guide, you’ll set yourself apart from other photographers and provide your clients with the tools they need to succeed. Remember to keep your guide concise and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and visuals to illustrate each point. With a comprehensive style guide in place, you’ll be well on your way to capturing stunning photos that showcase your clients’ personalities and leave them feeling confident and prepared.
