Some might ask, "As a business, do I need to tag other businesses and people to my posts?" And I say, absolutely! The more you can tag that flows in the content of the post, the better.

The Importance of Brand Photography in Telling Your Story
When it comes to promoting your business or product…
brand photography plays a crucial role in telling your story and engaging with your audience. As a professional photographer, I am often asked by clients about the best approach for taking pictures of their services or products.
If you provide a service…
the best way to showcase it is through action shots or candid staged shots that capture you or your team in action. It is important to take these photos in the actual location where the service will be performed so that potential clients can get a real sense of what to expect. This can avoid any mismatched expectations that can lead to disappointment and negative feedback when using stock photography.
For example…
as a physical therapist assistant, I have had patients ask about nursing homes, I recommend all of them to look at the google review and website. They all typical stock photos on the site do not accurately represent the actual location. This can lead to a bad impression and dissatisfaction when they arrive. Therefore, it is important to have candid shots of the actual location and your team at work to give your audience an authentic feel.
When it comes to headshots…
it is best to have a few options rather than using the same image repeatedly on your website and social media. This can help keep your content fresh and dynamic, while still maintaining a consistent brand image.
If you are selling a product…
it is important to showcase its versatility through photos. This can include images of the product in use or in various locations. It is important to keep the photos in line with your brand identity, including using brand colors and maintaining a consistent feel. For instance, you don't want to use bright red backdrops for a spa- natural themed product, as it would clash with the brand image and confuse your audience.
Overall, brand photography…
is an essential aspect of your marketing strategy that can help you tell your story and connect with your audience. By staying consistent with your brand identity and utilizing a range of photos, you can effectively promote your services or products and attract new customers.
Getting the Perfect Headshot: Tips for Choosing the Right Style, Clothing, and Pose
“Entrepreneur: a person who risks their own money for freedom, rather than exchanging their freedom for money”
When it comes to getting a headshot…
there are a lot of factors to consider. What should you wear? What kind of headshot is appropriate for your profession and position? And what style of photo should you go for? Here are some tips to help you navigate these questions and get the perfect headshot for your needs.
First of all…
think about your profession and the expectations that come with it. If you work in a very formal, conservative industry like finance or law, you'll likely want a headshot that reflects that. This means dressing in a professional, business-like manner and going for a more traditional style of photo.
On the other hand…
if you work in a creative field like advertising or design, you can afford to be a bit more playful with your headshot. Consider going for a more relaxed look and experimenting with different poses or styles.
Another important factor to consider…
is the purpose of your headshot. If you're using it on LinkedIn or other professional networking sites, you'll want to make sure it's polished and matches your brand. This means choosing colors and styles that reflect your personal or company brand, or at the very least don't clash with it. If you're using your headshot on your website or for other marketing purposes, you might have a bit more freedom to play with the style and tone of the photo.
When it comes to the actual photo shoot…
don't be afraid to experiment with different poses and styles. Consider doing both traditional and lifestyle photos so you have options to choose from. And don't forget to update your headshot regularly! You want people to be able to recognize you from your photo, so if you've made significant changes to your appearance, it's time for a new headshot.
If all of this feels overwhelming…
don't worry! As a professional photographer, Sunkissed Moments can help guide you through the process and make sure you get a headshot that's perfect for your needs. So whether you're a CEO in a traditional industry or a freelancer in a creative field, there's a headshot out there that will tell your story and help you make a great first impression.
Usage Fee?
Why do businesses get charged a usage fee, and family photography does not?
Businesses are…
often charged a usage fee for photography because they are using the photographs for commercial purposes, such as advertising or marketing, which generates revenue for the business.
On the other hand…
family portraits are typically taken for personal use and are not intended to generate income, so a usage fee is not typically charged.
The usage fee for commercial photography… reflects the value the business derives from using the photos and compensates the photographer for the time, effort, and skills involved in creating the images.
The fee is usually based on… factors such as the size of the company, the intended use of the photos, the duration of the license, and the photographer's experience and reputation.
Family portraits are… taken for personal use and are not intended to generate income, so a usage fee is not typically charged.
The distinction between… personal and commercial use of photographs is important because the legal rights and obligations associated with the use of the photos may differ, depending on the intended purpose.
While…
both businesses and individuals may seek out the services of professional photographers, the usage fee for photography can vary depending on the intended purpose of the photographs.

has a story to share, what is yours?
"Why can't I have all the un-edited pictures too?"
I understand…
why you might want to have all the pictures, including the unedited ones. However, it is an unfinished product. Example: Do you ask a baker to give you the cuts of the cake that are trimmed off? They still taste delicious, but they are not part of the finished product.
Or Brownie! (Edited)
Here are a few tips…
that might help you get what you are looking for without having to get all of the unedited photos.
Make sure that you are picking a photographer that matches your style, and what you are looking for in photographs, not just the cheapest, or friend.
Ask the photographer to provide you with a selection of the best unedited shots. This way, you can pick the ones you like the most to be edited.
If you have a set number of photographs allotted in the package ask if you can purchase additional edited ones.
Hope these tips help, so this is not your and your photographer! hahaha. I’m a joking photographer! (Un-edited)
Hopefully…
these tips help you get what you’re looking for without having to acquire all of the unedited photos.
Sharing some love! (Un-edited)
Also remember…
some pictures are just not flattering, IT IS NOT YOU! It is the angle of the picture, the movement that was frozen, or in the middle of talking. People tend to focus on the bad pictures of themselves more than the good pictures. Let the photographer do their job and make you look like the fantastic person you are!!!!
See the glare, the blurriness (was taken in a dark area). It has nothing to do with the animal, it is just the picture. (Un-edited)
