hometown creative + branded shoot

So excited to share my fun collaboration with the girls at Hometown Creative this weekend! We met up at Hustle Smoothie Bar, which was the absolute cutest place ever (I'll definitely be saying the same thing about the second place we went too).

There were so many cute nooks and seating areas, with the most fun color schemes and decor throughout! The best space to come in and work on homework, meet with clients, or take fun photoshoots.

Either way, you're bound to get some serious inspiration in this space. The smoothies are also pretty amazing too.

"Community is everything" written on the wall is SO fitting for these girls and their business. They work with small businesses in their community daily and always collaborate with others. There was also the cutest staircase that led upstairs to the coziest workspace EVER.

For these ladies their business is all about expanding the reach of small businesses to the social media world, so taking pictures of the details was most important. Details are important to show exactly what these girls do and do WELL.

After leaving this super cute place, we went to The Skinny Dip: Charleston Edition. Located on King Street, the first floor is the cutest boutique with an upstairs communal workspace and coffee bar. We had the upstairs all to ourselves and we had a blast!

The white walls, beautiful Rainbow Row mural, long glass table with cute & chic vibes. The lighting was PERF, lemme tell you. This angle with the natural light peaking in the window behind them made for the best light, airy & dreamy pictures.

A tip for branded sessions is to get your subjects as comfortable as possible. Ask them to bring a computer, notebook, iPhone, and other objects that pertain to their business. This makes for realistic, easy-going, type pictures.

This space was an absolute dream and really aligned well with their existing brand and images on social media. This also provided inspiration for Gracin, with her all-time dream of Hometown Grind, a communal workspace in Savannah, Georgia. I honestly think that if I came to work every day in a space similar to this, I would be

much happier to do my job!! These girls have such an amazing vision for their brand and I am so excited to see where it takes them!

Y'all!!! All the heart eyes for this session. I would love to collaborate with you and help take pictures that really shows your true self and what your business is all about!!!
