Fall Favorites

PureStudiosAgnesKieszQueNov16-4-2.jpg

How are you enjoying fall?

It’s the season of warm tea & coffee, books, strolls through the park and cozy evenings.

This fall I made sure to have some time to relax and spoil myself since it’s been a very busy year, not just because of work but also private life.

I did some shopping, I took a trip and of course spent a lot of evenings reading and watching good shows.

Here’s a few of my fall favorites:

  1. Heart Cardigan

    This is my definite favorite when it comes to new sweaters this season! It’s really warm, cute and versatile. I love putting it over dresses when I go out and over other sweaters when I need to be very warm.

2. Quebec City

This fall, together with my husband I took my first trip ever to Quebec City. I instantly fell in love and even super cold weather didn’t stop us from exploring. Old world charm, great restaurants and beautiful views - what more can you want?

I wish it was closer to Toronto!

3. Photo of the Season

It’s incredibly hard to choose a favorite fall photo, because it’s such a photogenic season…

I keep coming back to this photo of Christie, because I love everything about it. The scenery, the pose, the expression, the outfit!

4. “Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides

Fall is when I spend a LOT of time reading. Thrillers are one of my favorite genres and I always browse through them at bookstores and the library.

Sometimes when you love a genre it can be hard to keep finding great books. “Silent Patient” was such a treat for me! I definitely did not see the ending coming. If you like thrillers, I highly recommend it!

5. Quote

Those of you who know me personally know how I value service. I believe that when you do what you truly love, you not only give to someone but to yourself as well.

There’s so much you can learn about yourself and there’s so much personal growth coming from it. I want to add that good service should always be within healthy boundaries.

Fall is here and it’s so gorgeous!

I was eagerly waiting for Cathy’s next photoshoot because fall is her favorite season and I knew we would create something incredible again. Cathy is our Subscriber, which means she benefits from regular photoshoots. This way she has great content for her marketing and her social media is growing very fast.

For this lifestyle photoshoot, we had set up a beautiful picnic in a nearby forest.

A good location with great light conditions is crucial to capture fall’s true beauty.

I could not be happier with spots I scouted out for Cathy’s fall photoshoot!

Another thing that is lovely about fall? Outfits.

Fall outfits are very photogenic and Cathy did a great job of bringing the right outfits for her photoshoot. The more effort you put into bringing the right outfits for your photoshoot, the better your photos will be!

After Cathy’s photoshoot on location, it was time to head home and capture some super cozy, fall photos at home.

After all, fall is such a cozy season!

I hope you enjoyed this photoshoot!

happy fall xoxo

Tara & Family

I love working as a Personal Branding Photographer but when clients want to come back for photos with their family, I’m always thrilled!

I photographed Tara last year and this time she brought her sweet and smart daughter and husband for the photoshoot. It was time to capture special moments and create beautiful photographs that can be hanged on the walls, gifted to family and cherished forever.

We created beautiful photos for Tara and her family which they will treasure forever. I also made sure to take photos of Tara and her husband - my favorites were black and white.

I loved working with Payal on her Personal Branding Photoshoot so much it’s really hard to find the right words to describe it but “magic” could certainly be one of them!

Payal is an Interior Designer and a true visionaire. The set up for her photoshoot actually started two days prior, because we wanted to feature quite a few statement pieces from her store, like the iconic peacock chair or Balinese parasol and of course crystals.

We loved decorating multiple photo sets with crystals, which made me realize they truly go with all types of interior design. They looked amazing in a Scandinavian bedroom, eclectic living room and bohemian garden.

We simply had to take advantage of a beautiful summer day and also take photos outside!

Dressing professionally & creatively as a Photographer

PureStudiosAgnesKieszAug1-4.jpg

Dressing in black and being creative with your outfits at the same time?

When you’re a professional working with people one on one, your presentation is always important. You can never dismiss the power of first impressions, how you dress and carry yourself also says a lot about you. You even show you respect your clients by dressing in a clean and professional manner for them. Even if it’s on a subconscious level, they will always appreciate it!

Before I became a Photographer, I was in another creative field which allowed me to dress in a fun way and I could be as creative with my wardrobe as I wanted. When I became a Professional Photographer, I had a bit of a hard time with the fact they dress mostly in black. So I made it my own! Even though I'm a bit limited with colour, I now love playing with different styles, textures and lines. I think it’s quite great to be able to show that we’re creative through our wardrobe.

This dress is one of my favourite work outfits for the summer. It's so flowy it doesn't restrict my moves in any way. The asymmetric lines are fun and creative (plus flattering!) and I still look professional. I usually pair it with black flats for work. After hours, I can easily make this outfit more casual by adding more summer-themed accessories.
