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

Early Fall Fashion with Christie Ressel

Fall is here!

I’m beyond excited to share our latest fashion photoshoot of Christie Ressel with you. Fall is Christie’s favorite season, so I couldn’t wait to see her fall outfits. I’m always so inspired by Christie’s styling skills and this photoshoot was one of my favorites to date.

This photoshoot reminded me you never know where the day will take you.

Two locations I planned for Christie were not available, so I had to improvise. It just so happened we drove past this incredible black & white building and it couldn’t be more perfect for this outfit:

I couldn’t stop photographing this outfit… This beautiful dress has Cali vibes all over it, especially paired with boots and a hat. Simply lovely, cozy, gorgeous, feminine and perfect for fall.

Fall is the perfect time to take out your beret out of the closet.

A beret is such a stylish accessory and I love how it has that je ne sais quoi.

Christie’s last look was quite special because all the items come from… Walmart! Yes, it may be hard to believe at first but a great stylist can find lovely outfits everywhere.

I hope you enjoyed this photoshoot and that it inspired you to dress up in the fall!

xoxo,

Agnes

I was so excited to work with Sandeep Sohal again on updating her real estate photos. She rocked her photoshoot just after successfully wrapping a challenging real estate transaction. Being a wife, mother and a professional is not easy so kudos to all women who are doing their very best every single day!

Sandeep’s brand is fresh and modern and she wanted her photos to really reflect that. I fell in love with every outfit Sandeep brought to her photoshoot.

September is here! August and September are actually my two favorite months for outdoor photoshoots. Thanks to cooler temperatures we don’t get tired and sweaty so easily, light is slightly less harsh and our make-up doesn’t run… These are all things that make lifestyle outdoor photoshoots way more productive and successful.

For this photoshoot with Cathy from Pink Avocado Nutrition we did a ton of fun things including a picnic in a nearby park and a trip to a great local grocery store Apple Factory.

Here are some Perfect Picnic tips from Cathy:

  1. Check the weather!

  2. Keep the food as simple as possible, pick up prepared foods and snacks, pre-cut fruits. Crackers, grapes, cheese are great snacks.

  3. Carefully pack one real knife—a camping knife if you have one—and have it handy in case there’s baguette to be sliced. I wrap mine in tea towels, handy and a little safer.

For all picnic tips, visit Cathy’s blog.

Summer Favorites

PureStudiosAgnesKieszJun26-21sm1.jpg

It’s been such a beautiful and busy summer so far!

Canadian summer is simply amazing and I always want to make the best of it. It’s always a challenge, because on one hand I want to enjoy it for myself and on the other hand, it’s truly the perfect time to create stunning imagery for people, so I’m also very busy with work. So even tough I don’t normally drink coffee, this summer I’ve been starting pretty much every day with not one but two cups of coffee or green tea matcha!

Here are some of my favorites so far this lovely summer.

  1. Southwest Ontario

I think it’s so important for creative professionals to take the time to get inspired. The reason behind our family getaway to Southwest Ontario was exactly that. I’ve never been to this part of Ontario, but Krystle’s Southwest Ontario Travel Guide made it so easy! We started our trip by visiting Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery, then we spent a day at Point Pelee Provincial Park, we also had a great time in Leamington, Amherstburg, countless wineries and beaches in the area. I don’t think I need to add the house we stayed at was beyond stunning. I hope to do more photoshoots here for sure.

2. Little White Dress

White cotton or linen dresses are simply the best in the summer. They make our tan look stunning, they easily go with every accessory and they photograph beautifully. My love for white means of course I have way too many white dresses, but I simply can’t resist to get more…

3. Monsieur Big Mascara

In the summertime, all we need is some mascara and lip gloss. I’ve been struggling to find a good mascara that works for me for some time but this one has quickly become my favorite!

4. Art of Marina Kimono

Meeting and working with Art of Marina meant finally seeing her products in person. I’m not an online shopper but when I can see a quality product, actually feel it and touch it, I can become a loyal client. Marina’s kimonos stole my heart (I’m hardly the first one!). This cashmere one feels incredible against your skin, I love throwing it over a swimsuit when I’m ready to chill by the pool after a hard day of work.⁣

5. Formal Dress

Clients ask me all the time where to go shopping before their Personal Branding Photoshoots. My top answer is always Simons. In addition to a great variety of styles, the clothes are really good quality. This dress is the perfect example of why Simons is my favorite store. It’s elegant and timeless (finding a summer dress with long sleeves is not easy!), it also fits like a glove.

6. Prayer Beads & Mugs from Decor by Christine

Some time ago I had a chance to work with a great Interior Designer Christine Da Costa. Christine brought such amazing photoshoot accessories from her online store. I had to get prayer beads and mugs for myself, they are such a beautiful but also soulful addition to any home!

Spring with Pink Avocado Nutrition

PureStudiosAgnesKieszPANMar-25.jpg

We had so much fun shooting with Cathy from Pink Avocado Nutrition for her new, beautiful website. Cathy is a Nutritionist & Accountability Coach (that’s a combo to make things happen right there!), a Super Momma and such a ray of sunshine.

I always admire women who went through serious struggles and didn’t let those struggles break their spirit and get them stuck in victim mentality. If you didn’t know Cathy’s back story, you’d never think this energetic, creative, nurturing lady went through so much in her life. I’m always so grateful for the opportunity to work and learn from women like Cathy. It inspires me and helps me with my own struggles. We all go through hardships from time to time and growth isn’t easy!

I started my 40s with struggles. I had a child that was in and out of hospitals, a terminally ill father and to top it off a failing marriage! But these struggles lead me to dig deep and find what I had forgotten - belief in myself. I found a coach and realized I needed accountability. I stopped trying to lose weight, I stopped seeking approval from others & I gained the courage to believe in myself again. I focused on the process and let the results speak for themselves
