How to choose a photography board name

Working photographers can also use boards to show clients what a session looks like. Name those after the session type and location so couples, families and brands searching ideas land on your work.

Split learning boards from session boards, and name session boards after what clients search: Family Photo Outfits, Couple Poses, Fall Mini Sessions. Add your city to board descriptions if you book local clients.
