Investing in a team photoshoot for your clients can be an incredibly rewarding decision for several reasons:

  1. Celebrating achievements: A team photoshoot provides a tangible and visual celebration of your clients' hard work, dedication, and achievements. It serves as a powerful reminder of their progress and transformation, boosting their self-esteem and motivation.

  2. Building a community: A photoshoot is not just about individual success; it's an opportunity for your clients to bond and create lasting memories with other clients. It strengthens the sense of community and support within the group, making their fitness journey even more fulfilling.

  3. Motivation and accountability: The prospect of a photoshoot can serve as a strong motivator for your clients to stay committed to their fitness goals. Knowing that they will be captured in their best shape encourages them to maintain their progress and stay accountable.

  4. Enhancing confidence: Striking a pose in front of the camera can be a confidence-boosting experience. Your clients will see themselves in a new light, appreciating their bodies and the results of their hard work, which can translate into improved self-confidence in their daily lives.

  5. Creating lasting memories: A team photoshoot is not just about the end result; it's about the experience itself. Your clients will cherish the memories of coming together, preparing for the shoot, and the excitement of the day. These memories can be a powerful motivator to continue their fitness journey.

  6. Promoting your brand: If you are involved in the fitness industry, team photoshoots can also be an excellent marketing tool. The striking before-and-after images of your clients can showcase the success stories you've helped create, attracting new clients and enhancing your brand's reputation.

Coach Tammie Sarkozy, 10 Person Diamond Package & Reel/INTERVIEWS at Wise Studio GOLD COAST

Working with Life Portraits on team photoshoots has given me the opportunity to give my clients an incredibly empowering experience. People can be extremely self critical of themselves which crushes their daily confidence & self esteem & I wanted to change this. The team photoshoot experience opens your eyes & encourages you to appreciate your body for what it is, no matter what shape or size. Em & Andy have a gift in making everyone feel comfortable & capturing stunning moments. They’ve made all my clients feel like absolute superstars!”

I have been working with LP for almost 3 years in a row for both team and individual photoshoots - and I ADORE the end result of every single shoot! 

The team are fun to work with, professional, talented and they understand how to work with women who are both excited and incredibly nervous. I believe that skill is essential when working with anyone who isn’t a model, but wants to have a memorable photoshoot. My team always leave feeling empowered and confident in their skin, because of the safe and welcoming environment that the LP team create.

5 Steps to Plan your Team Photoshoot Experience

A TEAM OR GROUP PHOTOSHOOT IS AN INCREDIBLE WAY TO DOCUMENT THE END OF A WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE OR A BODYBUILDING COMPETITION, CELEBRATING THEIR HEALTH SUCCESSES IN A FUN & ENJOYABLE ENVIRONMENT.

Team photoshoots are a great ‘experience’ add-on for personal trainers and coaches. The photoshoot day is a clear goal for their clients and the results are beautiful images for them to cherish for a lifetime. Life Portraits want to help take the stress out of planning your team photoshoot day with these easy steps below!

STEP 1: DECIDE HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU WANT TO BE IN THE TEAM (up to 5, 10 or 15) AND THEN CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE BASED OFF THIS.

We have a range of team/group packages available with an incredible location included! We suggest to coaches that up to 10 people is the best package as it makes for a more personalised day. Once you know how many people you want to have, book in the shoot and follow these steps so you can then go out with marketing and filling those spots with a location and date locked in. You can see all our packages on our ‘teams’ website page HERE.

STEP 2: YOU’VE SECURED YOU PACKAGE, NOW IT’S TIME TO CHOOSE SOME DATE OPTIONS

Look at your timeline for your challenge, competition prep etc and then give Life Portraits 3-4 weekday/weekend dates that would work for your timeline.

STEP 3: CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION

We want your team experience to be the most memorable day possible, which is why we have teamed up with some incredible locations across Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast to accommodate your photo experience. Here are some example locations; gym, studio, poolside, luxury house, beach and you can also supply your own location (discounts apply)! See all of our locations HERE.

STEP 4: CREATE A TIMELINE FOR THE DAY

Creating a structure for your day allows you and the team to be prepared and things to run smoothly. We suggest teams to get hair and makeup done offsite at a location with the team (or at the HMU salon) and make it a fun getting ready experience. You turn up ready in your first outfit ready for the day. We suggest the team group photo first to calm everyone's nerves (you can do 1 or 2 depending on the package). Then we photograph individual sessions for each of the attendees. Here’s an example of timings below:

Timing example 10 person team, 3hours, 10am - 1pm:

  • 6am - 9.30am: HMU done offsite & ready

  • 10am - 10.15am: Arrive at location, introductions

  • 10.15am - 10.45am: Team photo

  • 10.45am - 11.45am: Individual sessions outfit 1

  • 11.45am - 12.45pm: Individual sessions outfit 2

  • 12.45pm - 1pm: Pack-down & post photoshoot chat

Timing example 5 person team, 2 hours, 9am - 11am would be:

  • 6am - 8am: HMU done offsite & ready

  • 9am - 9.15am: Introduction & how the day goes

  • 9.15am - 9.40am: Team photo

  • 9.40am - 10.45am: Individual sessions

  • 10.45am - 11am: Pack-down & post photoshoot chat

We customise each team shoot to the coach, so once you secure your package and location we can help create a timeline that works with your hair and makeup artist too.

STEP 5: PLANNING OUTFITS

The last step that brings everything together is your team outfit. We have included a number of examples from some of our teams to the right, here are some examples for you:

  • Fitness wear in the same colour or co-ordinated or coach t-shirt

  • Bikinis or one pieces in a tone of colours, or the team in one colour and coach in a different one, or all bold colours

  • Blue jeans/pants and crop/bra

  • Everyone wearing casual wear in a tone of colours

Life portraits help you create magical images. The shoot day is organised so well making is stress free, plus the girls feel confident and comfortable around the photographers who are friendly, professional and fun to work with
