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?
