Why Meeting Virtually Before Photo & Video Sessions Matters

At C King Media, we believe great photos and videos don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of intention, comfort, and communication. That’s why we meet virtually with every client before the camera ever comes out.

Whether you’re planning a headshot session, a livestreamed event, or a brand video shoot, a simple 15–30 minute video call can make a huge difference in your overall experience and the final product.

It Builds Trust Before the Camera Rolls

Most people aren’t fully relaxed in front of the camera—especially when meeting the crew for the first time. That’s why we meet virtually first.

Even a brief FaceTime, Google Meet, or Zoom session:

• Removes the "stranger factor"

• Builds natural rapport ahead of the shoot

• Helps clients feel more confident and relaxed on set

The result? Better energy, better expressions, and a much smoother shoot day.

It Prevents Misunderstandings & Clarifies the Game Plan

During the call, we walk through:

• The schedule and logistics

• What gear or setups we’ll be using

• Any important creative preferences or expectations

• What questions or concerns you might still have

By the time we show up, we’re aligned and ready to work—not still figuring things out.

It Elevates the Professionalism (and Outcome)

For corporate clients, nonprofits, and event planners, pre-session meetings also:

• Show that we’re invested in your goals

• Provide space to discuss brand standards, access needs, or timing issues

• Reduce surprises on the day of filming or photography

It’s not just a good idea—it’s how we ensure the best results every time.
