Little Luxuries

PureStudiosAgnesKieszLittleLuxuries-3.jpg

I’ve been wanting to write about little luxuries for a while. After all, during this difficult time self-care is more important than ever.

Treating yourself can be done in the comfort of your home and doesn’t have to mean chilling with Netflix, wine and chips.

Here are some of my favorite ways of treating myself. I saved the best for last!


PERFUME

Putting on great perfume can really help with your mood. Finding your favourite aromas can be exciting!

It’s good to switch them every once in a while. At the moment my combo is:

Day

Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom

Prada Candy

Evening

Hugo Boss Deep Red


CHOCOLATE

We all like to snack at the end of a difficult day. The key for me is finding snacks that aren’t too unhealthy. I love Lily’s chocolate (salted caramel is my absolute favourite) because it’s not a sugar bomb, it’s actually surprising how little calories it has.


LAVENDER EPSOM SALT

A relaxing bath + good book is a great combo, wouldn’t you agree? Lavender bath salt takes this experience to a new level.


TEA

A great cup of tea by your side makes any chore better. Tea Freak is one of my favorite brands because of amazing quality!


TENCEL SHEETS

I’m obsessed with these sheets, when I wake up I feel like I’m lying down in butter. They’re so soft! You can get tencel sheets from several places, including West Elm and Amazon.


I hope this blog gave you some ides on how to spoil yourself!

xoxo, Agnes

Top 5 Tips For an AMAZING Brand Photoshoot

Ah, photoshoots! They can be extremely fun, inspiring and empowering, but also overwhelming. After all, the photos are very important. They will be a crucial part of your presentation and a big factor in determining whether people will contact you or not.

So how do you make sure your photoshoot is a success? Here are my Top 5 Tips For an AMAZING Brand Photoshoot:

1. Choose The Right Photographer

You want to work with someone who understands branding photography and will guide you smoothly through the process. Photography is a vast field and it’s very unlikely a newborn photographer (just an example) will have the expertise/equipment/props/space necessary to create excellent branding photos.

2. Pick The Right Wardrobe

The better the wardrobe, the better your photoshoot. It doesn’t mean you need designer wardrobe. It means you want variety and outfits that work for you, your brand and your body shape. I actually take the time to do a wardrobe consultation with my clients, because it always means better results!

3. Pick Your Colors

Picking and sticking to your brand colors is a big part of building a brand, brand recognition and loyalty. It will make your personal brand more memorable and less confusing. Why is brand recognition SO important? Just imagine how confusing it would be if your favorite brand of cereal was changing their colors and logo every month.

4. Plan Your Content

You will maximize your investment if you can tie your photos to specific content posts you will create throughout the year.

Here are 5 ideas:

a post about your company's mission/name

a post about favorite books/podcasts related to your field

a post about how your clients’ life changed after working with you

a FAQ post

a post showing your work behind the scenes

5. Choose The Right Props

A branding photoshoot will have more of that WOW Factor with the right props. Incorporate props from your work life and again, stick to those brand colors.

So there you have it, my Top 5 Tips For an Amazing Branding Photoshoot. If you’re wondering if we might be a fit to work together, you can always book a chat with me here.
