Tampa Brand Photography Session: Ashley

Are you launching or wanting to brand your real estate business with professional images?

I loved working with Ashley of Road 2 Realty! She recently joined Compass to support her business, and wanted professional images in a lifestyle, home setting. We shot in this beautifully-styled home in Tampa. I’ve shot here before, and every detail in this home photographs so well! The sunlight wasn’t shining in as bright as it usually does, so I opened the curtains a bit in the living room to get brighter but still softer light.

Ashley was super sweet! Her smile really lit up the room, and I love the poses she chose. I try to stick with simple, natural poses when I’m directing a client so it doesn’t look forced. And I loved her wardrobe choices, especially the satin button down blouse with the jeans and the shorts suit! I recommend bring both business and casual outfits to your brand photoshoot for balance and variety.

Brand Photography Tiips for Real Estate Agents

If you’re planning a brand photoshoot for your real estate business, consider these photo ideas:

• Photos of the space you’re shooting in (without you in it)

• Posing around the home (kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom) and at the front door

• Photos of your resources (new homeowner guide, financing checklist, etc)

• Photos of you in hotspots around town

• Holding keys, turning the key to a lock

• Standing at the front door, opening the door

• Flipping through contracts

• Talking on the phone

Choosing a Location for Your Brand Photoshoot

There are so many photoshoot location opportunities for real estate agents. When choosing an indoor location such as a home, turn off all the overhead lights and open the curtains for max natural light.

Consider these locations while you’re planning:

• A model home

• An AirBnB

• Home Studio List. We shot Ashley’s session in a home we rented fro. Home Studio List. It’s truly my go-to for lifestyle sessions! You can book by the hour, and the homes are already styled so you don’t have to bring a bunch of props or do a lot of styling.

• Studio

• Downtown or a popular area in your town

• Your home

Here’s a short brand video we shot during the session that Ashley can use on her website and social media. Videos are a great way to capture your audience’s attention and promote your products and services.
