Brand Storytelling Photo Sessions
introducing...
We'll work together to create authentic brand photos that tell the stories of you & your business life. Stand out from the competition and grow your business with ease.
Catered to creative entrepreneurs - personal brands, product and/or service-based.
Aren't they just headshots? Yes - and no!
Brand photos are headshots and more. They're images that tell the stories of us and our business lives (aka Brand Storytelling) so that our customers and clients can get to know more about who we are as people and as brands.
Brand photos can include "behind the scenes" shots, images of us creating, shots of our tools & equipment and photos of us at work.
But brand photos can also include images of us at home and on our free time. The fun thing about Brand Storytelling Sessions is you create the rules!

hey there!
Think of this like a Mini Session. You may be an experienced business owner, but perhaps you've never experienced brand photos before. If your past shoots were simply headshots, this is a great way to dip your toe into the world or brand photos with a minimal time commitment. You'll walk away with updated headshots and a few lifestyle brand photos (highlighting 1 storyline or central theme)...and you'll probably be hooked and ready for more!
If you've been active on the social media scene for a while, you'll know that a few photos (in the same shirt) just doesn't cut it. A 2 hour session - which can even be 1 hr on one day & 1 hr on another day - allows us the time for wardrobe & location changes, resulting in a variety of images. Perhaps you want family photos AND photos of you doing your craft - painting, cooking, web developing, etc. We really get a chance to dive into the stories (2-3 storylines/themes) that make up your biz life, so your audience gets to know, like and trust you.

She perfectly captured the essence of our family run crochet business, combining colour with bright whites and incredible shots of our work. She got to know our brand beforehand and made us feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. We highly recommend Kate for professional, high-quality photography for any of your business and branding needs!

on Brand Storytelling Photos
Prior to my first personal brand photo session with Kate, I never put any sort of intentionality around telling my story using photos. I assumed that headshots were headshots and that I had to have a certain photo for it to be "right." What Kate helped show me is the power of telling who you are from a single photo!
"Don’t hesitate–hire Kate! She is an absolute expert at helping us tell our stories, visually!"
