Themed sessions don’t have to start and end with the traditional holiday calendar. In this two-hour class, we’ll explore how to create meaningful, marketable themed sessions throughout the year. These sessions will excite your clients, tell a story, and fit seamlessly into your studio workflow.
I’ll walk you through themes I’ve successfully used in the studio, including Cones and Canines, Book Club Pet Sessions, Tales with Tails, Wanna Treat Sessions, Back to School, and Game On! I’ll share how to take seasonal sessions beyond the ordinary with unique twists.
We’ll discuss how these ideas are developed, how they connect emotionally with clients, and how they can be adapted to fit your own brand and shooting style.
Beyond the creative concepts, this class will dive into the practical side of themed sessions. You will learn how to create a workflow that includes marketing timelines, set design, client communication, and scheduling.
