She brings a level of fun, creativity, spontaneity and of course professionalism to your content session!

Today we are sharing some key things to help make sure you are ready and educated on how to get the most out of your content session.
9 Things to Do Before Your Social Media Content Session with Misty Saves the Day
1. Plan Your Outfits
Bring 2–3 outfit options that reflect your brand’s personality. Think about colors that match your vibe and avoid anything that might take the focus off you. Always where what you feel most comfortable and confident in! I’m a big fan of wearing your favorite outfit for a few – even if its just jeans and a t-shirt. This will ensure that your smile is brighter and you’ll stand a little taller.
2. Think About Props
Bring items that represent your work—laptops, coffee mugs, branded products, notebooks, or tools of your trade. Bring some items that could include your hobbies or favorite things- tennis racket, friendly animal, basketball, art. (Or even a bike!) These details make your photos more personal and scroll-stopping. They also give you something else to share and talk about on social media. Which your ideal client that you’re searching for just might have the same hobby or interest as you!
3. Consider Your Location
Whether it’s your office, a favorite coffee shop, or outdoors, pick a space that feels like you and matches the message you want your audience to see. Just know this – we have to ask permission if it’s a public space. I only ever want to be professional, and I’m not a fan of asking for forgiveness instead of permission!
4. Prep Your Team
If your team will be in the photos, let them know what to wear and what to expect so everyone looks and feels confident on shoot day. Complimentary colors are a great way to look cohesive, but you don’t have to match perfectly. (Cough, cough do not wear White collared shirt and khaki pants!)
5. Book Hair & Makeup (Optional but Powerful!)
Professional hair and makeup can boost confidence and make sure you look polished on camera — especially if you’ll use these photos for a while. This also goes along with when you feel your best, you’ll be more confident in front of the camera. We want you to be able to cycle through your content photos often and use them confidently.
6. Think About Your Brand Message
What do you want your audience to feel when they see these photos? Fun, approachable, professional, bold? Share that vibe with Misty so she can bring it to life. Stay true to yourself as well! You don’t have to be like that one business you saw on social media doing this or that! If it doesn’t fit you and your business, stick to what is true for you. We want your content photos to introduce you and your business to potential customers. When they walk in your doors or shake your hand, we want them to already know who you are and what to expect! 
7. Get Some Rest
A good night’s sleep will help you look refreshed, energized, and ready to shine in front of the camera. We get it! It’s not everyday that you get in front of a professional photographer, and it might feel like the night before the first day of school when you were a kid BUT get a full night’s sleep because you’ll be confident that Misty is going to showcase the best part of your business.
8. Hydrate & Smile
Drink plenty of water the day before and morning of your session—it makes a difference in how you feel and look. And don’t stress — Misty will guide you through natural, flattering poses! She has a keen eye on capturing in the moment content especially if she is at your place of business and can photograph you working. Don’t have a physical job like a creator or artist? That’s okay that’s what #2 is for on this list!
9. Come Ready to Have Fun
