I love helping entrepreneurs capture the essence of their business—what makes them and what they offer unique—through personalized, creative branding photos. Working with Desiree from Aligned Living was a dream. We split the session between lifestyle headshots, action shots of her doing what she does best—home organization—and details shots that showcase her skills. Here are some favourites from the session!
It’s always such an honour to photograph my colleagues. I loved hanging out with Michelle from Michelle A Photography for some golden hour branding photos on around Western University campus. Here are some favourites!
Today I’m sharing some favourites from an on-location lifestyle branding session at a local yoga and wellness centre. Through headshots, detail photos and in-action photos, these sessions are able to tell the whole story of who you are and what you do, in addition to providing great content for your website or social media feed.
When Alison’s lifestyle headshot session fell on a very gloomy, cold, rainy day (with no time to reschedule), we headed to Parkway Garden Centre for some warmth, natural light and an explosion of Spring colour. It was the perfect setting for these branding photos. Here is a handful of favourites!
I absolutely loved Aimee’s lifestyle headshot session in a downtown London cafe. I first met Aimee when she booked a couple photography mentoring session with me. We hit it off and have since become friends (as have our daughters!) and I was delighted to be able to shoot some headshots for her in an empty corner of a busy downtown London cafe. I loved the light streaming through the window for these photos, here are a few favourites!
It’s that time of year where I come to terms with having fallen off the blogging wagon during busy season and decide to jump back on with new resolve! I’ve got a blogging schedule to get me through the rest of 2018 and 2019 over the next 10 months, so buckle up! ;)
Today I’m looking back on Nicole’s lifestyle headshot session. We started off at Covent Garden Market before heading to the Gibbons Park, capturing both Nicole’s love of laid back market browsing as well as her love of outdoor adventure. I happen to love outdoor snowy photos, so I was all in to bundle up and head out the the woods. Here are a few favourites from her session! If you’re interested in more info regarding my branding/lifestyle headshot packages, you can find that HERE.
You may or may not know that I offer 3 branding packages for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The smallest of these - the Lifestyle Headshot Mini - is perfect for those needing only a handful of updated headshots for their website and social media. As with all of my photography, my approach to branding photography is natural and personal with a lifestyle feel. I want your headshots to tell the story of who you are, beyond just a plain backdrop. These two sessions took place within walking distance from each other, but are completely different - perfectly demonstrating how even with a headshot mini, you can infuse your personality into your photos.
Julie Anne - who also happens to be my gorgeous big sister - is a doula with who loves evening walks and beautiful sunsets. It seemed only fitting to update her headshots at golden hour, while walking along the water, in a location that really showcases that glowing pre-sunset light.
Lindsay is a naturopath who really wanted her personality to shine through her photos. After chatting a bit about what that would look like, we settled on a downtown cafe for a few photos before heading out - coffee in hand - to take advantage of the nearby brick wall backdrops.
Here are some favourites from their sessions!
Michelle is the talented photographer behind Michelle A Photography, and someone I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know while photographing 2 headshot sessions, her engagement session and her wedding! It’s been such an honour to help capture these important moments for Michelle over the last years. With her next headshot session coming up in a few weeks, it was definitely time to blog this fun branding shoot from 2017. If you know Michelle, you know she loves her adorable dog, Samson. I love that he was such a big part of this session - and I swear this dog actually smiles for the camera! We incorporated some other things Michelle loves - golden hour, iced coffee, and of course her camera - and included outfit and location changes around Wortley Village to ensure a gallery full of variety that Michelle could use on her website and social media as needed. I absolutely loved this lifestyle branding session, and am so happy to finally be sharing some favourites on the blog!
