Image sizes we plan for before the session
Most women entrepreneurs order a session and then discover that their photos do not fit the places they need them. We avoid that by writing the list of formats before the first frame.
A website hero needs a wide image with empty space for text, so I shoot horizontals with room on one side. A LinkedIn banner is 1584 by 396 pixels, an extremely thin strip, which means the portrait is taken far from the camera so there is something to crop. Instagram feed images perform best at 4:5, and Stories and Reels covers use 9:16, so each outfit gets a vertical version as well as a horizontal one.
The list goes in a short shared note: where each image will live, what text goes on top, and which colors from your brand appear in the frame. On the day, I tick off each item. You leave with portraits, working shots and detail shots that already match the places they will be posted, and not a folder of beautiful images that you have to crop into the wrong shape.
If you already have a website or a pitch deck, send it with the brief and I will plan around what is missing.
