the plug and play styling framework for brand photographers when there's no stylist on set
the brand shoot styling blueprint
yes, i want this!
transform your brand shoots
but what if it isn't?
But in your head, you're still terrified.
Maybe this will be the client that doesn't ask the what do I wear question. Maybe this will be the client that has the budget for the beautiful, on-brand, pre-styled space. Maybe this will be the client that knows exactly what to wear, and buys all the props you suggest. Maybe this will be the client that books a stylist?
So tag, you're it. Photographer, Creative Director, the baton has been passed.
take your shoots from solo and stressful to the force of a team behind you, even when there's no budget for it.
What if the set doesn't start off perfect? That's on you now.
Do you know what to do?

Hired for the camera, expected to be the stylist
Hired for the camera, expected to be the stylist
you were the first hire. And in the small biz world, that may mean you're also the only.
what if you could
nail it?
and she needs you to deliver.
you are the one she trusts
Trusted with the moment that scares her the most. Trusting that you'll make her look amazing, and bring her brand to life. It's you.
no more nail-biting the styling
Your work can look like it has the full force of a creative team
Hired as the photographer, expected to be the stylist. What if you knew the strategy, and it became the easy peasy back pocket solution.
Your client walks in, outfits prepped, completely ready to go. (No more staring at piles on the bed, um what-should-I-wear-next-style?)
Portfolio-worthy shots? Locked in by 10am. (bc when that first hour isn't lost to second guessing, magic happens)
The set? Scouted out and fully storyboarded. Studio or in-home, you're breathing easy with both.
On brand details, iconic storytelling in every shot. (and final galleries as recognizable as a Wes Anderson film)
Props curated with purpose and detail. Say goodbye to generic lists and stressing the prep.
Confidence? It never looked so good.
On both of you.
Deep breath, then. Imagine what your next shoot could feel like...
this is what i need
“There are some shoots that flow SO easily because of the taste and style of a client, but I want all of my shoots to flow that way! And learning styling like this from Katherine makes that feel possible!"

For when there's no stylist on set. For when you're tired of losing that first hour of morning light. For when that pile of clothes on the bed terrifies you. For when you're ready to create images as iconic as the brands you're shooting for.

The brand photography market is going to continue to grow. And grow. (And I d'know about you, but I LOVE that - an entire market of photographers whose passion is to propel other businesses forward? um heck YES!
There are approximately a zillion brand photographers. Scientifically speaking.
but the photographers that will stand out?
It won't be the ones riding on the tails of a trend someone else defined the shot for. It's the ones creating the images that everyone else is dying to copy.
you've nailed the lighting
posing, solid.
Iconic imagery, those stop-your-scroll, take your breath away shots? Those aren't just built from a solid shooting plan. They depend on a solid understanding of the strategy behind visual communication.
Timelines & Shot list? your pen & paper list loving heart flutters at the sight.
And the bring-it-to-life action of that strategy? It's called styling.

Hi, I'm Katherine.
and I'm the best kind of friend -
I'm the one who sends you links for dresses you'll look real cute in, & tells you gently that the other one is just going to sit unworn in your closet if you buy it.
With a BFA in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and a passion for understanding clothing & design, I designed custom bridal gowns before opening a styling studio to help small business owners prep for Brand Shoots & fall in love with their closet again.

It has the ability to build trust (or tear it down) before you even add in the words
But the solution to getting it right on set? It's not having a specific and detailed list of what specific pant fit, from what specific brand, must go with that specific [you name it].
clothing is the first line of communication
but don't stress, we've got you covered.Literally.
Shoot styling is about understanding what type of looks are necessary, in order to communicate effectively
and then the blanks are filled in via their personal style
The props, the set, all of it - there are repeatable formulas that make it simple, while letting you go deep for each brand.
It's a bit like making clothes. (A side hustle/passion/up til 1am obsession over here) I can teach you how to sew a dress. But I'm not going to ask you to build the pattern and we're not definitely not weaving the fabric. We'd make it simple, and repeatable.
so you can take all the details, and plug and play it into your shoot
But here's the magic of it - it's not just going to equip you on set. It's going to equip you in your own closet too. The next time you pack for a work trip, you'll understand what those 3 looks are that you have to nail in order to communicate effectively.
Pulling together a couple quick images for your own social media? You won't just pull random bits that look pretty from around your house, you can use your brand icons to speak effectively and succinctly to your own brand. Making it recognizable.

I'm prepping for my own brand shoot, and a stylist isn't in my budget. Could this work for me?
Hi friend! I'm so glad you asked! While it's written to brand photographers (so matching looks to shot list may not apply to you), it's designed to equip anyone on a shoot set without a stylist. So if a stylist isn't in the cards for you, understanding this framework will definitely be a gamechanger for your shoot day.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not sure I can make it to the live calls?
No worries, friend - I get it! There are 3 live calls for this round (and you'll have lifetime access to all subsequent live calls for future rounds as well! They will be a core part of the support for this course.) If you have a question about the course, or want to chat about an upcoming shoot, you can drop your question into the facebook group ahead of the call, I'll make sure it gets covered on the call, and the recording makes its way straight to you!
ok wait. Are you telling me I have to pick all my clients looks now?
Nope nope! I'm going to equip you with the strategy to understand exactly what looks need to be represented at a brand shoot in order to communicate effectively. And then that framework gets filled in via your clients personal style. Yep, we'll get into the finer details of what works on what body types, but seriously, don't stress. I've got you covered, literally ;)
Signed, not a brand photographer
The iconic shoots?
Those could be yours.
or, you can keep nailbiting the styling, stressing that the budget won't include styling, sets, or enough props.
