SE1 Ep10: How to Avoid Burnout on Multi-Shoot Days: My Best Tips

Let’s be real: multi-shoot days can be exhausting. If you’ve ever found yourself drained after a full day of back-to-back sessions, or even worse, felt like you weren’t giving each client your best, you’re not alone. As a brand photographer, I know how important it is to manage your energy while delivering top-notch results to each and every client. That’s why I’ve dedicated my latest podcast episode of The Brand Photographer’s Lounge to this exact topic.

In the episode, I dive into some of the key strategies I’ve learned from years of navigating multi-shoot days. From creating a schedule that works for both you and your clients to ensuring you stay fueled and hydrated, these are game-changers that have saved me from burning out more times than I can count. I also discuss why it’s essential to have clear communication with clients and how you can plan for editing time after a long day of shooting, so you’re not drowning in post-production work later.

But I’m not giving it all away here! If you want to hear more about how I keep my energy up, avoid the dreaded creative block, and keep clients happy on busy shoot days, you’ll have to tune in. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it!

So grab your headphones and head over to the latest episode of The Brand Photographer’s Lounge. Your shoots (and your sanity) will thank you!
