Penthouse Queen Claudine Montano

I’m so grateful I got to photograph Penthouse Queen Claudine Montano again. The photoshoot took place in one of her beautiful listings, which was the perfect backdrop for Claudine’s photos.

We were even able to create several iconic photos that look like postcards. They show the strength and determination of a woman with our lovely Toronto in the background.

We took countless lifestyle photos in this beautiful penthouse.

Claudine’s personality made the photoshoot even more enjoyable!

It was also the perfect time to update Claudine’s portraits.

Also, don’t miss Claudine’s behind the scenes video:

5 Important Uses for Your Branding Photography (that most people forget about)

5+Important+Branding+Photo+Uses.jpg

In today’s online world, using your personal branding photos correctly is very important.

Your photos are a strong, visual voice, they should tell the story of who you are and what you do so you can communicate the value of your work and connect with ideal clients.

HERE ARE 5 IMPORTANT USES FOR YOUR BRANDING PHOTOS:


  1. Your e-mail signature

    A great e-mail signature goes a long way. It should include your headshot for the purpose of building a connection. People always like to see a face behind a business. Your clients will also remember you better when they see a photo of you.

2. Your business card

Please don’t forget about putting your photo on the business card. If you have a more modern card, you can easily put the information on one side of it and your photo on the other side for a clean look. When giving out business cards, majority of people won’t even remember you unless there’s a photo on the card.


3. Your newsletter

A newsletter is a fantastic way of staying in touch with your clients, sharing value and expertise. It really is a must if you want to have repeat clients. Use a photo of yourself in the footer of the newsletter to better build a connection with your recipients.

4. Your client presentations/Your price list

Present yourself as a valuable professional by subtly using your photo in client presentations.

I really do hope you’re taking the chance that is a value-packed client presentation or price list and that you’re not just sending some naked numbers to potential customers.

Omitting this step is one of the biggest mistakes business beginners make.

Use two photos (one in the beginning of the presentation/one at the end) or just one photo at the end of the presentation.

You can include a short bio that tells the story of your passion!


5. Your Instagram

Please remember that if you want people to remember you and know who you are, it is simply not enough to only show your face in your profile photo.

When building a personal brand, use a photo of yourself at least once every 9/12 posts (preferably 9!).

For high end businesses, use mostly or only professional photos. Otherwise, you can mix both professional and phone photos (still looking nice and on brand though!)

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.

Meet Sylvia Smith, a GTA Realtor with extended knowledge about the investment market! Sylvia’s photoshoot was bright and effortless. Lavender is her favorite colour, so we made it the accent colour for this branding photoshoot. We were very lucky - lilacs were in full bloom the week of Sylvia’s photoshoot!

As with every Branding Photoshoot, the goal was to show Sylvia's professional persona and style. Lifestyle photography done in a tastefully decorated property is always a great idea for realtors. When choosing props, we kept in mind Sylvia's brand colours in order to create a very consistent look.
