336 - Running Successful Brand Sessions with Emily Kim

Brand photography is having a moment... and for good reason! It’s fun, it’s in demand, and for many of us, it’s a natural, lucrative add-on to the work we’re already doing. But brand sessions aren’t just portraits with a laptop. Today I’m joined by photographer and educator Emily Kim, whose systems-first approach makes brand work feel clear, creative, and effective.We get into what truly separates a brand session from a portrait session, why the end use of the images should drive every decision you make, and how to plan shoots that stand out in a sea of sameness. Emily also shares her 5x5 method for building a flexible shot list that gives you variety... without locking you into a stiff posing flow.If you’re adding brand work or tightening up what you already offer, a clear framework saves you time, delights clients, and delivers images that actually get used across websites, social, and ads. Less guesswork, more intentional variety!LINKS:Grab Emily’s Brand Photo Shot List Builder  Follow Emily on Instagram  Find Emily on YouTube Resources:New to the podcast?
