Beauty Product Photography Shoot

A Creative Collaboration: Beauty Product Photography Shoot with Restore Collective Co.

At Kia & Co., we believe in creating imagery that not only captures the essence of a brand but also helps businesses showcase their value. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with the team at Restore Collective Co., including founder Heather Burge, creative director Blake Michaels, and founding partner Colleen Matthews. Their vision and passion for clean, effective beauty products made this beauty product photography shoot an exciting and rewarding collaboration.

Meticulous Planning for a Seamless Shoot

A successful beauty product photography shoot starts long before the camera clicks. For this session, we dedicated significant time to planning every detail—creating moodboards, developing shot lists, organizing prop lists, and structuring a detailed schedule. This preparation ensured that we maximized our time together and captured exactly what Restore Collective Co. needed for their brand visuals.

Prioritizing People & Product Consistency

Since the Restore Collective Co. team was present at the studio, our priority was capturing imagery that featured people interacting with their products. We worked closely with Heather and her team to establish the perfect aesthetic that would serve as a foundation for future product photography. By nailing down the look and feel during this session, we ensured that future product imagery would remain consistent for their website and social media content.

Delivering a Cohesive Collection of Images

By the end of the session, we had built a diverse collection of high-quality images that will elevate Restore Collective Co.’s online presence:

  • E-commerce shots of individual beauty products.
  • Group images showcasing skincare, makeup, and full product collections.
  • Customized stock photography tailored to their brand.
  • Lifestyle imagery featuring Heather using the products.
  • Product details, including texture shots, to highlight key attributes of their skincare.
  • Video content demonstrating product packaging and usage.

This carefully curated suite of images provides Restore Collective Co. with a cohesive, visually stunning foundation for their marketing efforts. To see more spa and beauty related product photography, take a look at my shoot with Esty & Co.

B Roll for your product or brand

In addition to photography, we also created B-roll video content showcasing how to use Restore Collective Co.’s product packaging. These short clips highlight the functionality of their designs, demonstrating everything from how to open and apply products to the thoughtful details that enhance the customer experience. This type of video content is invaluable for social media, product pages, and marketing campaigns, helping potential customers see the brand’s attention to detail in action.
