Last year, I dabbled in posting reels here and there. Well at the start of 2022, I made it my goal to get CONSISTENT and INTENTIONAL with posting reels. I committed to posting 1-3 per week to share my brand story, provide a ton of value, and engage with my audience in a new way.

I know that reels can be intimidating but I promise you that it gets easier and more FUN every time! I am truly loving this journey! I’ve grown my audience with more ideal clients, have booked multiple branding and product shoots from entrepreneurs that found me through a reel, and it feels great to make such an impact while simply being myself and showcasing what I love to do.

With my consistency in posting reels, I’ve had multiple photographers DM me and ask for ideas. When the same questions start to pour in, I create a free resource!

Click below for 15 reel ideas specifically for branding photographers!

Because you know I like to give examples, here are some reels I’ve posted that may inspire you when creating your own! I like to come up with an idea/topic first, and then scroll through the reels feed to find trending audio that matches my idea.
