Download the shoot day checklist we use before every session.
This is the exact checklist we run through before SaltySesh® shoots — so nothing gets forgotten, batteries stay charged, and the energy feels calm instead of chaotic. Print it, keep it on your desk, or save it to your phone for shoot days.
- Pre-shoot prep items (gear, cards, batteries, backups).
- Client-facing details to confirm before the session.
- Day-of reminders so you can focus on directing, not scrambling.
No spam, no weirdness — just a simple, printable PDF you can use before every shoot. Built by a real photography studio that actually uses this stuff.

Inside the checklist
A simple system for calmer, more organized shoot days.
Whether you’re shooting families, couples, or branding sessions, this checklist keeps your brain from carrying everything at once.
Gear & technical prep
Camera bodies, lenses, batteries, cards, backup drives, and the little things that are easy to forget when you’re rushing out the door. Check it once and leave knowing you’re covered.
Client & logistics
Location, timing, contact info, parking details, and backup plans. A quick run-through of this section helps avoid last-minute “wait, where are we meeting again?” stress.
Mental reset before you shoot
A short reminder block to re-center, review your shot priorities, and step into the session with calm energy — instead of feeling like you’re already behind before you even start.
