Behind the Scenes of a Professional Product Photography Session

Ever wonder what actually happens during a product shoot?

Whether you're mailing in your items or booking an in-person session, there's a whole lot of strategy behind the styling. Spoiler: it’s not just snapping pretty pics.

Let’s take you behind the scenes of a product photography session for Frederick Family Co.—so you know exactly what to expect and how your brand is going to shine.

📦 Step 1: Pre-Shoot Planning

Before your shoot even begins, we get clear on your goals.

✔️ Are you launching something new?
✔️ Do you need seasonal content?
✔️ Do your listings need a refresh?

I’ll review your brand, your products, and your inspo (if you have any) to make sure we’re shooting with purpose. If this is your first session, you’ll complete a questionnaire that gets us on the same page to create pure magic with your products!

🎀 Step 2: Prop Styling + Setup

I’ve got a fully stocked prop library—backdrops, risers, trays, texture, and more… but if you have branded items (like custom pens, planners, or product inserts), you’re always welcome to send them too. They won’t count against your item total!

I style each shot to reflect your brand’s vibe and ensure every photo feels cohesive and elevated.

📸 Step 3: The Shoot

I shoot a mix of clean product images, styled scenes, flat lays, and detail shots—so you get a gallery full of content for web, social, and beyond. If you’re wanting us to take all of the content creation off your hands, you can also upgrade to include video in your session or subscription package!

Each product is handled with care, lit to perfection, and captured in its best light.

💌 Step 4: Delivery

You’ll receive a downloadable gallery with high-resolution, ready-to-use images, and a little happy dance from me because your products looked amazing!
