Though the coloring may not be AS consistent as what a photographers might be, it will aide in making your feed look more consistent that what it would be if you used a multitude of different filters on each of your instagram images.

Being a photographer, it’s easy for me to make sure that my images all share the same type of coloring and edits – I’m very purposeful in making sure that my shots are all edited within my branding style. It also gives the appearance of being MORE consistent and cohesive than if I share the same lighting of images next to one another. Being purposeful about rotating the lighting of the images helps to make a differentiation between each image ( click here to see what I mean). If you take a look at my Instagram profile, you’ll notice that there’s a slight pattern of rotating between sharing a dark image next to light image, dark, light, dark, so on and so forth. Here’s where I take it a step further: to help create not only a consistent grid, but a COHESIVE one, I rotate between sharing images based on the lighting of the shot. If I haven’t posted a headshot of myself for a while, I plan to share one sometime throughout that week. If I have an engagement session blog that I know I will be publishing on Thursday, I make sure to plan an image from that session, to be posted on Thursday! If I have an upcoming wedding, I make sure to save a spot in my insta-grid to post an image from that wedding day. – Images that haven’t been shared in awhile

I choose images for that week based upon:

The number one way that I achieve a consistent and cohesive instagram grid is by PLANNING AHEAD. Welcome to February’s FREE Monthly Educational TidBit!
