- No photographer? No problem. Today I'm challenging myself to shoot all my own brand photos for 2023 - and I've only got two hours in the studio to try to shoot 3 outfits, in a bunch of different settings, all with just my camera, a tripod, and an app on my phone. And I'm going to show you show I do it!

not only 2 hours to shoot a whole branding session by yourself, but a whole youtube video AND bts footage!!! she really did that!!!
haha it was an absolute sprint but I made it happen 😅
was literally thinking the same! got on comments to say @katiesteckly you're amazing! thank you for investing in the time to bring us along and inspire us to take initiative
I love this! Also gives me courage to do brand photos of myself, something I’ve been thinking of doing for awhile.
Great video Katie yes please do more videos on this topic. I really enjoy seeing this type of content to get ideas on how to do this.
That satin dress is the bomb on you! I am doing this for my hand dyed yarn business in DC in two weeks. Thank you.
She's so creative!
This is amazing! Thank you for all of this - especially taking the stigma out of feeling awkward at times. This obviously took time and planning and patience, but you also made it seem very doable. This is why I love your channel. Also, that sage slip dress is 🤩!
There is a special place in Heaven for creators who have to be their own photographers!! So impressive that you’re able to do it so efficiently!! Thank you for the tips!! ❤❤🎉😍🙌🏼
This was such a cool process to see! Great results. ❤
This is an incredibly valuable tutorial. Thanks.
This is so fantastic to see how someone (who has awesome branding shots) does it themselves. Thanks so much for sharing the behind the scenes Katie. I am planning my shoot right now!
This is a great video. I don't know how you managed to get it all done! especially with the added pressure of recording BTS. well done!! 👏🏻
Totally enjoy this! You’re amazing 😊
I love this. You have such a stand out skill at doing this and bringing us along at the same time. Inspiring. 🎉
Fantastic video. You always provide amazing info in digestible chunks! Thank you!
Not me thinking you lived in another province and then realizing we’re in the same one! This whole thing is #goals and I’m super impressed with how you got it all done in 2 hours!
This video is FANTASTIC!! I would love to see more of this. I'd love to see ones with more detail about posing, utilizing the space you have (I live in an apartment), etc. I need brand photos but I'm so overwhelmed by the idea. Thank you so much Katie!
This is my favorite video of yours and I’ve watched almost every single video on your channel! You are so dope and help us women content creators so much Katie, please make life solo photoshoot videos! This was empowering as hell.
Thank you Katie! I'm so grateful I found this video you made! This is such a fabulous & informative video to help me prep for my DIY photoshoot. And I'm using a new Sony camera so your tips about remote controlling with an app for Sony was so perfect!
I loved your video! I was searching for self portrait ideas and the how to, as I have never taken self portrait. After seeing your video I need look no more 😊Thank you!
This is so excellent! Thanks for sharing
I love this vlog so much❤ so real and relatable

Nice vid as always and yes I want to know what Sony you are upgrading to so please make a Katievid!!! 😊
Brilliant, alllll your content is A++++
great!!! thank you ❤
You are my hero! 🎉
Thank you for sharing this video it was I enjoyed this video and the one you did yourself in the desert while you were on the road. Could you do more of a breakdown video because I am super new like new that I didn't know you had to photograph vertical as well I thought you could just do horizontal and then change the photo size to make it fit an ig pic, or even what lenses are needed. I only have a kit lense my camera came with.
Great video!
The fireplace pics are great!!
thank you!!
Great!
Hey, Katies, this is my favorite video, thanks for sharing ❤ Now, I’m curious about your most used lens for portrait shots?
I love watching your videos! You're awesome at being real about your journey which is helping me!
Your confidence is goals! 🙌 Thanks for the inspiration and awesome content. Would love to see more videos about doing your own photoshoots :) I'm desperately in need of more branding photos.
What a beautiful studio! Where is this? 😍
Wow so proud of you it would be so hard doing this without help!!!
thank you :)
YES! 🙌🏼 would love more videos about this.
You are incredibly professional.
A fountain of information.
Such a joy to watch. Thank you! 👍🙏🏆🥰
girl your phenomenal cuz this was stressful to me and i wasn’t even doing it so admirable
Loved watching the behind the scenes of your branding photography! I feel like a lot of creators do not go in depth about how they do things and this was super helpful!
thank you!! really glad you enjoyed it :)
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips tricks and behind the scenes! 🤍
great. I am planning to try myself as i feel more comfortable alone only try to figure out camera etc. Renting location. I am curious as i normally pay so much for a photographer and result :(
👏👏👏👏
Does the zv 1 take great photos too?
This was fun to watch! More would be good😊
Love the video - I also take my own brand photos. iI believe it helps so much to know our brand better.
and it's a really fun challenge!
Hi, what is the name of the moodboard app you mentioned? No name? Sorry, I couldn’t find it anywhere
Not me stressing for time seeing the lighting change in the first outfit lol! 😅 Katie!! I'm in Ottawa but I would totally drive out so you have a shooting buddy next time, not that you need it!! ❤️
Did you say prior where your going?
I loved this video, I didn’t even put it on 1.5x speed like I do with most videos lol 😂
haha then I succeeded! haha
What I learned in modeling is to put your chin out. Go about an 1/2- 1inch out over where your natural head sits.
Kinda like “walking like a chicken” but just move your head 😊
It really works
I would like to hear about this new sony camera you are about to get.
okay cool! maybe I'll make a video about my current gear kit 🙌🏻
@Katie Steckly cool thanks and then another one on why you upgraded and some test shots of the camera vs your old one.
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 10days..
