How to Plan a Styled Shoot

Last week I blogged about the reasons we plan a styled shoot! You were probably thinking, “Oh great, now I want to plan a styled shoot even more but I have no idea where to begin. Thanks for leaving me hanging Ky!” You guys know I would never leave you hanging, so here I am with Part 2: How to Plan A Styled Shoot!

1. Choose a theme

You can plan your styled shoots around holidays, wedding styles, popular movies, books, tv shows etc. BUT the most important thing is to choose a theme that fits your style or your brand. You want something that will reach your target market. If you want to do classy weddings, plan a classy styled shoot. If you want to do country weddings, plan a country styled shoot.

2. Create an inspiration board

Go on Pinterest and put together your own inspiration board. Make sure to include all sort of details, colors, model types, dress types. Your inspiration board will not only be used for you, but also all the vendors involved.

3. Choose a location

Find a location that fits the theme and your inspiration board. Need help finding new locations? Check out this blog for advice.

4. Contact local vendors

This might be the hardest part. It can be super intimidating putting yourself out there and asking for help. But do not worry because most local vendors love styled shoots and networking as much as you do! Keep in mind that some vendors will donate and others will ask for a discounted payment. Explain the styled shoot, show them your inspiration board and ask them if they’d love to be apart of it. The worse they can say is – NO!

Send out a casting call for models

My favorite models are real life couples and past brides. I like the natural chemistry in real relationships. When I am using real couples and brides, I am shooting exactly how I would with my brides. They are inexperienced to modeling and that is what I LOVE! I promise if you post a casting call on Facebook or Instagram, your beautiful friends will come running!

Set goals for the shoot

What do you want to get out of the shoot? Portfolio building? Practice? Learning a new technique? Getting published? Set goals and follow through.
