the session prep guide
Help your clients feel ready before the camera comes out
An editable, client-facing guide to help you share the details that matter before a photography session — so your clients can feel informed, prepared, and more comfortable walking into the experience.
A great session starts before the first photograph
Your clients may be excited about their session, but they might also have questions.
What should they wear? What should they bring? Where should they meet you? What happens if they feel awkward in front of the camera?
You probably answer some of these questions regularly. A thoughtful Session Prep Guide gives you a place to bring the most important information together, so your clients know what to expect before session day arrives.
It's a small addition to your workflow that can make the experience feel much more considered.
Fewer
unanswered questions
More confident clients
When clients know how to prepare, they have less to guess about and more opportunity to enjoy the experience.
Use your guide to communicate the practical details, offer helpful preparation tips, and reassure clients about what the session will be like.
You can explain your recommendations in your own voice, share the information that's most relevant to your photography style, and create a consistent resource to send before each session.
What you can include
Adapt the content to your process, your type of photography, and the particular needs of your clients.
Personalize the guide around the preparation information your clients need most, such as:
What to wear
your approach to clothing, colors, styling, and wardrobe choices
How to prepare
helpful reminders and suggestions before session day
Location & timing
where to meet, when to arrive, and any details clients should know
What to expect
how you guide the session and help clients feel comfortable
A personal note from you
a warm reminder that they don't need to know how to pose or have everything perfectly planned
Made for photographers who want clients to feel looked after
The Session Prep Guide is for photographers who want to make preparation clearer, answer common questions before they become a flurry of messages, and help clients feel more at ease.
You don't need an elaborate client experience to make someone feel cared for. Sometimes it's the small, practical details that make all the difference.
Thoughtful details that reflect your brand
Your client communication is part of your photography experience. The tone, presentation, and information you share can reassure people that they've chosen someone who cares about more than simply showing up with a camera.
With an editable design, you can bring your brand into the guide and make the information feel like a natural extension of your business.
Update your colors, fonts, photographs, and copy to reflect the way you work.
