I recently hosted my very first Chicago branding mini session day for coaches and creatives, and it was a total success! All the spots were booked within hours of launching them, and they were all filled completely by those on my exclusive waitlist (more about that below).
One of the best things about brand mini days is that you can get the experience of working with me, at a much lower cost (about 70% less!) than a full brand experience. There isn’t any strategic planning involved, but I prepare everyone who books a brand mini with tons of helpful info on how to prepare with my brand mini guide.
Brand mini days are perfect for coaches and creative entrepreneurs who are just getting started in their business and need a few photos to get going, or those who frequently update their brand images and just need a handful of updated photos.
I hosted this brand mini day at RLM Studio in Chicago, and it was the perfect lifestyle studio for the coaches, photographers, and wedding professionals who signed up for the 6 available spots. When selecting spaces, I try to choose those that have options for a wide variety of photos so we’re not just getting a few images of you smiling at your laptop with couple headshots. Within this space we were able to capture images at a desk space, a living area, the sooo cute kitchen, and even headshots.
I can’t wait to host another brand mini day later this year — my goal is to host 2 (maybe 3!) various pop-up mini session days at various spots in Chicago.
Sign up for my exclusive waitlist so you can get informed about my next brand mini day!
