What are Business Portraits?
Business portraits are designed to elevate how you show up professionally — while still feeling natural, approachable, and aligned with your brand.
This is ideal for business owners who want updated imagery that feels professional, modern, and authentic — without the full storytelling coverage of a Brand Story session.
During a Business Portrait session, we focus on:
The result is a refined set of portraits that help you show up consistently and confidently across your business.

Catherine + Duane
Catherine and Duane are counsellors who specialize in relationships. They reached out in need of a few images to accompany an article Catherine wrote that is being published in Huff Post and to update the images on their website.

Maple Ridge Dentistry for Kids
Dr. Nancy and her staff at Maple Ridge Dentistry for Kids needed images to put on a referral brochure for mainstream dentists. They needed images that felt professional, but approachable and comforting to children who may have anxiety about visiting the dentist.
Neither of us are super comfortable in front of the camera, but Kelly made it feel easy. She created such a relaxed and natural space that it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than having a photoshoot. Somehow, in all the in-between moments, she managed to capture the most real and honest versions of us—and we’re obsessed with the results.

testimonials
From the initial interview to discuss what I was looking for, to the pre-shoot email package she sent so I could visualize the “Look & Feel” she was going for, to the day of the actual shoot, the entire process was flawlessly professional.
She is incredibly talented at finding just the right lighting and angles to make everything look polished but still totally on brand. The whole process felt fun and relaxed.
I'm not usually in front of the camera but Kelly was able to put me at ease and get some unique candid shots as well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get the right images for their business.
