 FAQs

 
  • First off, this is a day all about you investing in you! Get creative, have an open mind and a positive attitude. The itinerary is posted above and maps out the flow of the day. Photographers will gather and do a headshot swap to warm up, so wear something cute and be ready to be on both sides of the camera! Then we will break into groups of 2 or 3, and rotate around the model stations on a schedule by the host. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone-you will make friends. We have such an amazing group of women from all over the Midwest ready to mix and mingle. Sessions will go from 1-4:30, with breaks in between to freshen up, have a snack and network or just relax. After our sessions, we have a reservation for those interested just down the street at Asterisk Supper Club. A great way to keep the fun going! No pressure if you can’t join, but it will be a good time with great food and drinks!

  • -Models who will be professionally styled head to toe!

    -The studio space where all of your creative dreams will come true.

    -Drinks/snacks/light lunch

    -Headshot swap

    *Transportation, dinner reservation/meal, lodging not included with your Content Day ticket.

  • Aloft Hotel Columbus Westerville (614) 318-1246 is just down the street from the studio and a great option!

    Renaissance Columbus Westerville (614) 882-6800 is another go-to for my out of town guests, about 12 minutes from the studio with lots of shopping nearby.

    • Your camera, duh!

    • SD cards, bring an extra SD card for our Headshot Swap, backup battery

    • Business cards so that you can exchange with other creatives

    • Wear something cute for the headshot swap and behind the scenes content. Bring comfy shoes for a day on your feet!

    • Flash-not required as the studio is South Facing and soaks in natural light all day long, but a good tool every photographer should have on hand. This could definitely come in handy for in The Loft, which is a moodier vibe with only 1 large window, where our boudoir session will be setup.

  • All model, hair/makeup artists, jewelry, boutique and studio info will be provided after the shoot for you to tag on socials! Please tag and share!
