Rebekah Vinyard Jewelry

Small Business

Jan 11

I love working directly with business owners and figuring out how we can accomplish the images they need, especially badass female creatives like Austin-based jewelry designer and maker Rebekah of Rebekah Vinyard Jewelry.

I LOVE her jewelry because you can tell there's so much thought and care put into each and every design. Every time I wear any of her pieces, I get compliments and then questions about where I got the piece.

If you're getting photos taken for your business, the most important thing I can tell you is this: make sure your photographer knows where they're ending up so they can provide the correct format for you!

If you're using the photos for specific collateral or a design you have in mind, share that with your photographer. If you want photos specifically for Pinterest, Instagram, or a website banner, let them know.

Rebekah put together a Pinterest board of what she wanted ahead of time, which was amazing. She showed me the board and we talked about how the photos would be used and the feeling the photos should have. After securing a model, figuring out locations, and making a schedule, we went to work.

I think what I love most about working with small business owners is our ability to make the most of what's available. It gives both me and the owner the opportunity to get creative and make sure we're using all our resources.
