Finally figured it out, thanks to you !
@@jqbrattonphoto Yay!!! I’m so happy to help. It’s so frustrating when you know there has to be an answer.
Hi Nicole. Which online image service do you use to let clients download the images they already paid for, yet be able to pay for more later.
@@shellyjohnson52 Hi! I’m currently using Shootproof. Here is a friend referral link if you’re interested shpr.ws/qqE
Thank you!
Hi Nicole, Thanks for showing us this BTS. Would you consider billboard usage as part of the license you’ve already given your client?
Thank you for your kind words. I would not have billboard usage has part of my standard commercial usage license. The client would pay additional cost for a billboard level file and additional licensing.
@ Thank you!😊
Thanks for sharing the full session like that. It is very interesting to see the whole process. It's brilliant.
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Please let me know if any questions came up for you.

I would love to know the lenses you use please
I really love your creativity 😊
❤
I wish i have all of this 😊
I love photography
Also what criteria guide you when it comes to pricing? Thanks
Hi Nicole, I am learning branding Photography. You mentioned portrait. When is best to use portrait and Landscape photography in branding?
Love that your share so much and not just very small bits - it's so helpful to follow the full shoot 👐
@@SusanneGeert Yay! I’m glad you like it and found it helpful.
Thanks for posting this ! I got the 70-200 f2.8 but it’s heavy. How do you manage to carry it around ?
@@arb009 If I’m carrying it around for long shoots I definitely use a camera strap. I’ve been using the Black Rapid Sport strap & it’s great.
Do you have a link to the ball joint thing that connects to the camera?
Hi Yes. This is the one I'm currently using. amzn.to/41RhMvM
Love your no-nonsense approach! You’ve communicated the topic very well.
@@xnlo Thanks! Much appreciated
Love all the great content you put out for us these days, Nicole - thanks so much for sharing 👐
@@SusanneGeert So kind Susanne! I’m so happy the information has been insightful.
Such a great video - thanks for explaining this in detail. I'm impressed that you are able to work this fast on your shooting days. I definitely have longer photoshoot days...😅
Thank you Susanne. I appreciate the kind comment. Over time I have become faster and more efficient. :)
It’s always a pleasure seeing here .🎉
@@tropicalsunshine4689 Thanks!
What type of foam board is this please
@@tmpscodm8863 I use 40 x 60 3/16"thick Sheets (3- White sheets) (3- Black sheets) Custom Cut to 40x40 (Keep the remaining material to make your 4th panel. I buy at a local art store.
Very nicely done. Thanks
@@macwestcanon Thank you for your kind comment!
This was a great video and it seemed like you had a lot of fun making the foldable background. The only part I am not clear on is when you tape down the seem or the edge of the paper to the other paper. Is there an overlap?
@@vperalta Hi I’m glad you liked the video. I didn’t overlap. I got as close as possible to the edge and took my time to keep a straight line. I hope this helps.
Such a great video, Nicole - short but still insightful 👐 Love how quickly you deliver images and the client starts using them👍 Do you work wit a specific number of images the client has to choose from the gallery - or does she get all (what do you typically agree on with the client)? Best from Susanne
@@SusanneGeert Thank you! I’m so glad you like the video format. This specific client can choose 30 images from the 87 I sent her. Typically for a 1hr session brand shoot that involves portraits, process and product they get 15 images but since this was heavier on product shots I upped the image amounts.
The equipment and props for this shoot was minimal and you created a great gallery . Thanks for sharing.
@@morgannelson884 Yes, always try to keep things simple. Thank you for your kind words.
Live brand shoots highlight authenticity, teamwork, and detail for impactful marketing. Thanks for sharing! - Lipika - Team Evan Carmichael

Thank you SO much Nicole! This helps tremendously - I have not heard anyone break this down as clear as you
@@cheriemendez4292 Thank you for your kind message! I’m so glad it was helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions 👍🏻😃
Such a great topic to dive into, Nicole - really helpful 👐I love all the great and interesting video you put out these days - such a treat to enter UA-cam and see new videos from you 🤓 Best from Susanne
@@SusanneGeert Thank you Susanne. I appreciate it. There is so much to share about personal brand photography. I’ve had more time for video this week. 👍🏻 Will be making more.
Hey Nicole, I loved this information.. I have been using mock shoots for my shoots but build up my portfolio, since I'm new to this and the pictures are looking better every time. This highlighted a few things that i already do and things i should be doing. I will be here to support your channel
@@tropicalsunshine4689 Awesome! I’m so glad you are building your portfolio. Yes, using mock clients and projects for your future paying clients is a great technique. Happy you are here.
Useful I’m new to personal branding I learn so much from you
@@godfreyerasto1737 👏👏 I’m so happy to hear it. Thank you for your kind message and welcome to personal brand photography. It’s so much fun. Let me know if you have any specific questions or challenges. 👍🏻
I think you know already that these BTS (with clear explanations) are my absolute favourites of your videos, Nicole 👐 The is very helpful and informative. Definitely hope there will be more like this ☺ One (maybe delicate) question: Do you consider to interfere with the persons clothing etc.? In this video I was wondering if the cap one of the ladies was wearing was a bit distracting in the video but I'm not sure how you think about this? Thanks anyway for another great video form you, Nicole - great work and a lovely location 👐Sound seems better this time BTW 👍
@@SusanneGeert Thank you for all this great feedback! I’m so glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it. Great question. I would adjust clothing if needed, for example, during a whole other section of this shoot I wanted to get the logo on the back of the sweatshirt, I asked her, “Are you ok if I adjust the back of your sweatshirt?” And they normally don’t have an issue. As for the hat, it has the logo of the business so I ok with her wearing it. Glad the video audio was better 👍🏻
Great info. How about shutter speed? It looks like you're shooting while walking, so I'm assuming the shutter speed had to have been pretty fast. I made a comment a few videos ago about low audio, this one sounds great!! As always, appreciate you sharing your talent.
@@SamGoller I shoot in Aperture Priority so the at f2.8 it’s really fast. It ranged from 1/1600 to 1/8000. I’m so glad the audio was better for you. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Nicole! Thanks for the data. You know that I have the same camera and LG did not recognizce it. Do you know why?
@@florenciaevangelista8356 👋 My first thought is firmware. Check if you have the latest firmware update and then try connecting again.
@ i ve already try everything 🙁. I Can get what it is wrong. Did u set up the camera in some mode?
@ you are so great! I update the firmware and now it works! Thank u so so so much
@@florenciaevangelista8356 Yes! I"m so happy to hear this. Happy tethering!
Very helpful - thanks for sharing these insightful steps in your proces, Nicole 🤓
@@SusanneGeert Yay! Thank you for your kind feedback Susanne
The smaller strap under would be smart on a lot of over-shoulder products! :o looks like a nice camera strap!
@@N00BleSouP24 It’s so secure and comfortable! I’m loving all the new features.
Impressive, many thanks ❤
Great info!
A smooth, client-friendly process makes personal brand photography easy and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing, Nicole! - Lipika - Team Evan Carmichael
@@EvanCarmichael Yes! 🙌 Thank you so much Lipika
Thank you for explaining your process. At what point do you have the client sign a contract and pay a deposit, if any?
@@triplewinlin5576 Hi! Great question. At the end of the discovery call most potential clients are ready to move forward. We pencil in the two dates and after the call I email them a contract to e-sign and an invoice to pay a 50% deposit to secure the dates. 👍🏻
@@NicoleBedardPhotography That makes sense. Thank you again, great content!
@ You are so welcome
Hello from the caribbean, This info is priceless for us newbies. Would you disclose what systems, or website you use for the clients to select the photos?
@@tropicalsunshine4689 Hello and thank you for your kind words & question. I’m currently using Shootproof for gallery delivery. Let me know if other questions come up.
Can this app work with a wired connection to the camera. I don't want to use a memory card slot for the canon wifi chip
@@billz4795 The app is allowing you to view the images via the camera’s built in WiFi. You are not eating into memory on the phone unless you physically download the images in the app. The actual files are on your memory card in the camera. Does that answer your question?? Might need more clarification if not.
@NicoleBedardPhotography My camera doesn't have built in WiFi. It needs the Canon WiFi SD WiFi adapter card which takes up the SD card slot. Which I don't want to loose for photo storage. Thus my question can the Canon app work without WiFi but by direct wire
@ Now I see. The app is looking for the device and there is specific setup in the settings. I don’t believe those settings exist in a camera that doesn’t have WiFi so the App won’t be able to find and link to it. Best of luck
