Learn to take control of your brand consistency by shooting and editing your own photos with your iphone! Charla will guide you through how to properly light and compose your photos, and how to edit them with free or inexpensive apps to make them look professional and portfolio-worthy. Being able to shoot great photos with your phone will allow you to take full ownership of your work, shoot anywhere at any time, create your own content for social media and your website, and eliminates any wait time after a wedding or shoot before you can post a sneak peek. This class is perfect for planners, florists, rental companies, and any other vendor who struggles to keep their portfolio consistent due to the various types of photographers your client chooses to work with. This class is also great for people who sell on Etsy, hair stylists, makeup artists, and social media influencers. We will also be discussing Instagram at length and how to get your grid in tip-top shape. Instagram is FREE marketing, and you should be using it to book clients and sell goods. The only way that happens is by showcasing great photos.
