POCKET SESISON PREP
If you need fresh content fast, the Pocket Session is for you. These 30-minute photoshoots are designed to be quick, easy, and social-media ready. Think Pinterest-style images, instantly delivered straight to your iPhone or Mac.
Perfect for content creators, coaches, service providers, or anyone showing up online, a Pocket Session is the quickest way to fill your grid, create graphics, or shoot content for Reels—all inside our Moorabbin content studio. But with only 30 minutes to work with, preparation is key. Here’s everything you need to know before your session with our in-house Melbourne photographer.
What Is a Pocket Session?
A Pocket Session is a fast-paced, no-fuss session designed for content creation, not product photography. It’s ideal if you want fresh, unedited content of yourself to use across Instagram, TikTok, your website, or newsletter.
What to Bring
To make the most of your Pocket Session, pack light but smart. You’ll have time for around three quick outfit changes, so choose looks that are easy to layer or swap out.
Recommended items:
2–3 outfits (easy to change)
Props like a laptop, phone, mug, sunglasses, magazine, or book
Accessories: earrings, socks, hats, scarves, shoes, hoodies, drink bottles
A hairbrush (we don’t supply one)
A bag or laundry basket to carry your things easily
Before You Arrive
Wipe down your laptop and clean your phone screen
Make sure your iPhone has storage available
Steam any wrinkled clothing, especially linen
Bring your own tripod if you want to record BTS content during the session
If you’re planning to include laptop or phone screens in your shots, screenshot your content in advance so it’s ready to display.
If you’re bringing small beauty props (e.g. needles, tweezers), wear darker clothing so they stand out
