It is likely that your senior clients have NEVER taken professional photos before...which means they are going into this experience completely blind. Imagine the RELIEF they will feel and the impression you will make by providing them a beautifully designed, jam-packed resource to answer every single one of their questions before they can even ask them! It kicks off their entire experience with your brand on an AMAZING foot.
Your Clients Will Be Blown Away
It Saves TONS of Time
Are you being bogged down by an inbox FULL of questions from your clients about what to wear and how to prep? Yeah, I've been there. Creating a guide like this REMOVES the need for hours (even weeks) of back-and-forth emailing to finalize every detail for your client's shoot. It condenses everything they could possibly need in ONE beautifully designed guide!
One of the BIGGEST and fastest changes that I saw as a result of implementing a What to Wear Guide was that I left every single one of my sessions PROUD of the work that I created. When you take the time to educate your clients on how to prepare for their experience with you...the result is BEAUTIFUL, consistent images every. single. time.
Every Shoot is Website-Worthy
It Sets You Apart
When you are marketing your senior portrait experience, how do you stand out amongst the other photographers in your area? What are you providing that is unique and an above-and-beyond experience compared to everyone else? Being able to say that you include access to a 20 page resource as soon as your clients book is a HUGE way to get them excited about their experience with you!
Let's talk about WHY you need a What to wear guide:
I vividly remember my early years of photographing senior portraits. My clients would arrive to their sessions late, with barely any makeup on wearing jeans a white t-shirt. Some show up in gym clothes or graphic tees...and it was almost impossible to produce images I was PROUD of when my clients didn't seem to care about their experience at all. Then, the What to Wear guide was born! This guide made it MY job to educate my clients on how to prepare for their shoot, what will photograph best, what to expect and how to get the MOST out of their experience. Here's a few reasons it will change EVERYTHING for you:

Here's what real photographers had to say about the new style guide:
"The Hope Taylor Senior Style Guide is a MUST HAVE for any senior photographer. Her writing is down to earth and connects with the clients while also educating them on what to expect from their senior experience from the moment they book until they receive their images and everything in between. The guide is super customizable with multiple cover options as well as pages that can be swapped in and out for however you run your business. I can't wait to share this with my seniors and their families!"
–Sammy
"If you want to be known as the go-to senior photographer in your area, having resources for your clients like the Senior Style Guide is a non-negotiable. All the work is already done for you in Hope's Senior Style Guide. No spending hours trying to think of what to say and how to say it - just drag and drop your images in and you'll have a complete (and robust) guide in the same day you started it! The Senior Experience Guide will make you more money and allow you to raise your prices when implemented into your client experience - no doubt about it!”
–Jessica
"This guide is so much more than just a style guide!! This covers everything your senior needs to know from location prep and every aspect of getting themselves ready - to the shoot - to what to expect with delivery. It is so easily customizable as Canva is SO easy to use! This will definitely be a game changer for me to send to my seniors and there are even some pages I will be adding to my other guides as well!
Tabitha
"This guide is exactly what I needed in my senior biz to truly elevate the overall experience and help my clients feel totally prepared. I feel that this will be a staple in my business and something that my senior clients will be raving about! I am not super tech-savvy when it comes to platforms like Canva, but it has been a breeze customizing the guide. My communication, during, and after the session shows my heart behind why I love senior portraits, but this guide will only amplify it. I truly think that implementing this guide into my business will provide me with more bookings and ability to raise my pricing comfortably. Before this guide, I believed my senior experience was great, but now it will be top-notch. This guide truly completes the package.

but why learn from me?
I can still remember the days I sat in my high school classroom with a head full of big dreams. I was answering emails on my phone under the desk, skipping dances and pep rallies for meetings and hustling hard to make my dreams a reality. I had no idea if being a full-time business owner was even a possibility…but I knew that I was going to hustle harder than ever to make it happen.
In the last 13 years, I have been through so many seasons of business: seasons of doubt and insecurity, seasons of never feeling good enough, seasons of not knowing how in the world I was going to make this work and seasons where I was ready to give up. Wherever you are right now, however you are feeling, I’ve been there. I see you. And I am cheering you on every step of the way.
Through hard work and hustle and a whole lot of learning, I’ve been able to build a six-figure photography business doing what I love every day. And, even better: I have my LIFE back. I’ve implemented workflows and resources that allow me to be in control of my business, instead of my business controlling me.
With a passion for business strategy and marketing, and a heart for education, I want to provide you with the practical tools and knowledge you need to grow a successful, profitable business built in service and love.
I'm convinced. Let's do this.
