I have known Renee for years now as we grew up in the same community, going to the same school and in the same art class in high school. Renee has always been incredibly talented and a huge inspiration to me with her artistic talent and love for so many of the same things as me. I have been dying to do a session with her since I started shooting branding sessions and when she asked me to come to her home studio, I knew it was going to be an amazing session. Her studio is cozy. Filled with all her beautiful work, many plants filling her space and so many hints of bees. Another interest we share with one another.

I have been shooting for White Bull Clothing Co for three months now, and before that time I didn’t realize how much I truly needed this community in my life. It is so much more than a clothing boutique, it is an experience and feeling apart of a community. Every time we shoot together I leave feeling inspired, full of life and my face hurts from laughing and smiling so much. Surrounding myself with like minded entrepreneurs, positive souls and inspiring women is what every one needs in their life. White bull shoot day is easily my favourite day of the week. I love being full creative freedom to shoot their gorgeous clothing in beautiful spaces. Here’s a few (hundred) favs from our last shoot together this past week.

I love photographing Nova Rae Candle Co products. I have been working with Ashley from this candle company for over year now. Her products are why I dipped into branding photography and realized how much I really loved it. It has been fun to see how her products have evolved as well as my photography of her products.

I started photographing branding sessions about a year ago and they are easily some of my favourite sessions to be apart of. I love seeing makers/business owners/entrepreneurs doing their thing and I’m just on the sidelines to capture the magic. Branding photography is such an important tool in advertising for your business. It allows your clients/customers see who is behind the brand and how it is done. These images are perfect to update your social platforms, your website and to reach prospect clients.

This past Thursday I was asked to photograph the most breathtaking event, a dinner in the Garden hosted by Season + Supply at the Field + Canvas farm. When Jess with Field + Canvas asked me to be apart of the event, I knew it was going to be all sorts of wonderful. A farm to table dinner with all locally grown Alberta food and products, Alberta made beer + spirits, homegrown and locally sourced flowers. All while enjoying this in the amazing gardens on a 100 year old potato plantation.
