A brand is something essential when starting your business. Many people ignore it or try do it yourself options that can hurt your brand or worse kill its success before it even has a chance to get started. So when a client comes to you while building her brand it’s the perfect time to include photographer who can adapt to the style of your brand.
Avoid using a photographer whose work all looks the same – your photography should reflect your brand not theirs. How can you tell they can handle this? Their work should show a variation of skills that allow them to understand not only natural light, off camera flash and studio light but also colour theory and how that impact the overall brand.
With over eight years experience in the Durham Region we have built relationships with locations that in a pinch will let us work on site. Those kind of partnerships are invaluable when making content for clients locally. Here we are working at Hy Hope Farm as they graciously let us use the gardens to showcase the nutritional aspects of the brand for this client.
Timing is everything with outdoor and food branding. We were lucky in late July to find some suitable produce to use for this shoot which was done with masks, social distancing and some creative positioning to make the most of the environment, the brand and keep everyone SAFE.
Showing things growing is so perfect for this brand. We grabbed the can, threw in some water and did a little watering for the garden while working. We had such a good time because when you have the right setting, an engaged client and a good idea of the end result it is magical.
As I walked the site before the client arrived I was looking for NEW in a site I have been lucky to work on several times over the past eight years. I walked past the garlic barn and went inside. It felt like I had walked into Rome, Italy where we spent our honeymoon. It was glorious and I showed it to her and how I could use it to frame the lower part of the photo. How many images of a garlic barn have you seen locally? Exactly.
No lie we were giddy in this garlic drying barn, the smell was better than chocolate and that is saying something from this certified chocoholic. Imagine the recipes these garlic bunches will make all over Durham and the health benefits that will bring. Heaven on earth.
Let us help you brand sparkle like Amanda’s and Nourished a Way a Life by connecting with us for a branding experience that will lay the foundation for your business. We capture sharp, skilled and brand appropriate images for your personal and business needs all fully insured in Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area.

Facing the northern sky in Bowmanville in the old factory the Yoga Jungle is a heavenly place to practice aerial yoga. Swaths of turquoise fabric known as silks are lined up in rows for this art form. Light streams in through factory windows creating a truly special space for exercise and meditation.
Aerial yoga is great for men and women. “Aerial yoga is known for its ability to reverse the effects that gravity has on the body, boost your mood and promotes a sense of well-being through child like play.” (fn: yogajungle.ca website). Using this form of yoga one can work to reconnect their mind, body and soul.
Owner Jenna Richards was inspired after taking her first class, finding it alleviated familiar aches and pains. She now dedicates herself to the practice and helping others find their own sense of balance.

Synonymous with sewing the name Rebecca Munn always reminds me of top notch sewing classes in the Durham Region. This Whitby resident has been making a name for herself in the industry from her teens and boasts a life time of experience behind a machine.
Being in a class with Rebecca is like mixing laughter and fabric into a delightful atmosphere. Her class offerings range from absolute beginner to seasoned pros – kids classes, stitch and bitch and quilting are all offered in her studio. Her facebook group “Just Sew It” provides online support and community in the art of sewing. You simply have to try a class with her if sewing is on your list of things you want to learn or want to reconnect with to improve your skills.
New on the horizon is the launch of Rebecca’s Whitby studio – the new studio is located in the plaza @ 2020 Wentworth street in Whitby. Unit 27. The grand opening is March 30th so there is not that much time to wait. Sign up for a class today : https://www.rebeccamunn.com/

In the heart of downtown Oshawa is a little gem called Mathilda’s. Run by Mathilda (and Jhon, who prefers to be behind the scenes) it is a haven for heavenly tastes under the tag line of “Plants based eating at it’s best.”
What differentiates the menu at Mathilda’s is the Indonesian base at the heart of the food. Born in Indonesia, Mathilda lived in Western Australia as a teenager and then Toronto Mathilda has has a life long love of tasty and spicy food. Her dishes reflect a changing attitude to plant based food boasting dishes such as familiar fare that includes the “Chic’n Caesar Wrap” and “Mac & Cheeze”, to more Indonesian flavoured options such as “Unbeef Semur Thursday” and “Mie Goreng”. A girl after my own heart she also provides tasty treats such as S’mores Choc Chip Cookies, Banana Choc Chip Muffins and Oreo Truffles – chilled (2).
Mathilda lost 50 lbs not trying to lose weight but live a healthy and connected lifestyle. She pairs her plant based take out and catering menu with wellness coaching by cofounding Alam Yoga and Wellness.

Guilliana came to me with a request to add some polish to her headshot for use in her company intranet, social media profile photos – especially her LinkedIn. Many clients come with this same brief but have no idea how to achieve it. What was special with Gullianna is she knew exactly the image she wanted to create. We got down to work and achieve her goal of a professional, classic look.
For a headshot we always recommend by passing the “phone selfie” – especially on LinkedIn. A professional headshot should be updated every two years either in studio or on location with a professional eye for posing, catch lights (the lights in the eyes) and and over all understanding of light. Couple that with a professional touch to the skin creates a strong, professional end result.
The end result was achieved with one outfit by simply removing her jacket to create two different but equally classic looks. The necklace worked well with the blouse but conflicted with the collar of the jacket so we removed it. Simple but effective posing gives her 3 strong looks with smiles and the extra non smile rounded off her final look.
