DIY AT HOME: Photoshoot 101 🍋

What up Lemon Family ❤️ 🍋

Photography Set Organizing

Organizing my living room 🧺

RESULTS SWIPE LEFT ❤️🫶🏽

✍️ Here's how I did it:

My business partner & I purchased a 8x10 backdrop, (pictured above) from our local photography/AV store here in Dallas.

We then went on to our makeshift, 3 point lighting.

Our props for our birthday girl, (glitter, champagne, balloons and backdrops)

& then we worked on covering the lights we didn’t need, whether it be your lights in the apartment/house or covering your blinds.

🗑️ Here's what you need:

Tip 1️⃣: have your reference & inspo ready, before your client arrives, you should be setting up the ambience, lighting and aesthetic.

Tip 2️⃣: take some test shots, & adjust your settings accordingly- this way when your subject arrives it’ll be easy sailing for the rest of the shoot

Tip 3️⃣: always make a list of what you need leading up to the shoot, ie: if you’re doing a baby shower, what props would be fun for your couple? Where is the location? Inside or outside? Are you shooting with the sun high in the air? Or during golden hour?

If there’s a question- write it down!

This saves time.

Let me know if you want to see the results.

Set up time: 30-45 minutes ⏰

Xoxoxo,

Lo🧚🏽‍♀️

... Read moreCreating a stunning DIY photoshoot at home can be rewarding and fun! Start by budgeting wisely; invest in quality equipment and props that elevate your shoot. For product photography, consider simple yet effective tools such as backdrops that complement your subject. Don't forget to gather inspiring references – this helps in visualizing the final look you want to achieve. The right lighting is crucial; explore using natural light sources or invest in softboxes to enhance your images. Before your subject arrives, set the mood with appropriate ambient lighting and decorative elements. Testing your camera settings will ensure smooth sailing when it’s showtime! Lastly, plan ahead by making a checklist of props and equipment needed. Whether for a birthday celebration or casual portraits, having everything organized will save time and reduce stress. Engage with your client during the setup process to ensure their vision is captured beautifully. Happy shooting! If you would like to see the results, connect with fellow creatives online and share your favorite tips.

All I used was a blanket as a backdrop and a bouquet of flowers. Camera angled slightly higher and down. Cut the flowers just long enough to fit in your jeans and cover you tatas. Then have fun! Play with angles and poses. I long to cross my arms or use a dominant shoulder. Have fun lad
