planning & self-care timeline


Do you want to get more than photos out of your branding package? If so, I'm 100% here for it. Let's use this time as a mindset reset for you and your brand.


Preparing for your photoshoot can be another task in your to-do list OR it can be the mood boost you need to get s*** done. By taking advantage of strategic planning calls already included in your package as well as supplementing with the self-care recommendations that feel good for you, the YOU on the other side of this process will shine from inside out.


Use the following timeline based on YOUR unique needs and desires. The portions in bold are already included in your package so I highly recommend you take advantage of them! The self-care options are just that... options! If you're not a botox girl, don't go out and get it for the first time just because you have an upcoming photoshoot. But if you love getting a facial and just haven't made the time lately, THIS IS YOUR EXCUSE (you're welcome).
