Pro Tips for Studio Photo Shoots with Monika Normand

Photos are crucial for how you present your studio online. On your website, in your Google business profile, on social media…they give prospects researching fitness options that all-important first impression. With every web design project I do, photo selection is one of the hottest topics, and websites always turn out better when there’s a great studio photo shoot. 

For today’s episode, I’m excited to welcome Monika Normand to the show. 

A little bit about Monika:

Monika Normand is a Dallas-based creative director and brand photographer specializing in vibrant, authentic content for personal brands, commercial brands, and hospitality-based businesses. 

I worked with Monika on MY last personal photo shoot in Dallas a few years ago while in town for the Cryotherapy Convention. All the recent photos of me you see online came from her camera. I was impressed with the quality of the photos I got, how organized she was, and the prep work that ensured I got everything I needed from the shoot.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we covered:

• What exactly Monika does and the types of businesses she’s worked with. 

• What does the creative direction look like when someone works with Monika, and how does she help business owners arrive at the overall vibe they want for their photo shoot? 

• Video shoots and backgrounds are becoming more common. What does Monika look for when creating good website video backgrounds?  

• What prep work does Monika recommend business owners do before the photo shoot? 

• What do fitness studio owners need to know about how to find a good photographer near them? 

• How can people learn more about Monika and her work?
