I don’t generally make New Year’s resolutions – I feel that they raise unrealistic expectations and when you don’t achieve them, they can leave you with a sense of failure and unaccomplishment. Let’s face it, no one wants to feel that way! But this year, I forced myself to evaluate what it is that I wanted to us to do more of with Boakview Photography. So as I sat down to think about my business goals for the year, I realized that aside from wanting to be more creative with our couples, I really want to expand our personal brand photography portfolio!
We’ve had the absolute pleasure to work with bloggers, business professionals, and wonderwomen throughout our career as photographers and it’s always the type of work that we are delighted to do! So the more I thought about it the more I came to realize that the main reason why I absolutely love capturing people doing what they love is how inspirational it is in our own work!
Enter, Ms Beltempo! This lady is definitely one of our favourite unicorns! We’ve (well really me because Hugh also has a day job!) had the absolute pleasure to work with Alyssa for almost 7 years now – starting in Ottawa, where we lived prior to coming back home. She is a phenomenal fashion stylist, blogger, & influencer whose main focus is on slow fashion and sustainability (who doesn’t love an environmentally conscious ladyboss!?) But not only is Alyss super stylish and incredibly smart, she is also one of the most down-to-earth and lovely humans I’ve ever met! Despite the fact that she now has over 25K followers on Youtube she has remained humble and sweet and kind! But enough gushing – this is just one example of why we love doing personal brand photography – it allows us to capture inspiring individuals who are passionate about their work! So if you are thinking of having some visual content for your biz, blog, IG, website, whatever – give us a shout here, come by for a tea and a chat and let’s see if we can capture your inner unicorn! In the mean time, check out some of Ms. Beltempo’s photos from our last Spring session together! Cheers and hugs lovers!
