It was a pleasure to work with Jane, Educational Strategist again!

It was time to update Jane’s photos, website and branding after several years.

Enjoy these highlights:

“I strongly recommend Agnes Kiesz as the best personal branding photographer. Entrepreneurs who need professional photos for marketing must connect with her!

Recently I went through Agnes’ entire process: consultation, photo shoot and reveal. Her professionalism and commitment to impeccable work was evident in all sessions, as well as during her email communications and delivery of photos.

I’m thrilled with my photos, and I enjoyed the experience of the photo shoot more than I expected! Hair and make-up, arranged by Agnes for the day of the shoot, as well as a relaxed and supportive atmosphere in her studio, made the photo shoot special. It was an “event” for me! Agnes ensured I was comfortable having my photos taken, offered helpful suggestions, and never rushed the process.

I can’t imagine a better experience, or better professional to get this job done. On top of this, Agnes is warm, creative, smart person. I look forward to working with her again!”

Jennifer Percival of Women Rocking Real Estate

Few weeks ago, we took a trip up north for Jennifer Percival’s lifestyle photoshoot. Jennifer is a serialpreneur with several businesses under her belt already and Women Rocking Real Estate is her new venture.

Since this is not the first time I’ve been photographing Jennifer, the experience couldn’t be more flawless. We already know each other and Jennifer knows I don’t torture people with my camera ;) Just kidding, but our photoshoots always include a pre-photoshoot consultation to break the ice and the photoshoots are always guided by me (I don’t expect you to know what to do in front of the camera to look candid). This helps tremendously, because most women feeel nervous having their photos taken.

Jennifer’s Brand Recipe

Colors: pink, blue, green + lots of white

Symbol: unicorn

Props: coach’s must-haves! (phone, laptop, notebooks) + decor pieces in brand colours for the house (pillows, blankets, mugs, flowers)

Why we loved working with Jennifer: she's a fierce, no-bs, action-oriented serialpreneur who’s extremely passionate about women empowerment!

“HUGE thank you to Pure Studios and Elegant Makeup for my personal branding photoshoot! All you ladies in real estate... Agnes is the most incredible photographer!”

PURE you, PURE business

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!

Spring Favourites

Spring Favourites!

Spring is here and I don’t know about you but for me it’s the perfect time to make some changes & do some shopping! I’m not a shopping addict at all, but when seasons change from winter to spring, I’m always inspired to refresh my wardrobe and my home. Here are some of my Spring Favourites:

DRESS

This dress is not something I would usually try on! I love pairing it with cute pantyhose, hats, it goes great with both jackets and coats. A good reminder to get out of your comfort zone and try something different.

ACCESSORIES

I purchased quite a few pairs of earrings from Simons. I photographed a very stylish Realtor Lara Stasiw a few weeks ago and she brought the most beautiful earrings to her photoshoot. It pushed me to refresh my neglected jewellery box.

PHOTO OF THE SEASON

This photo I took of Hair & Makeup Artist and Educator Tuhina reminded me of the Tale of Two Wolves:

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

BOOK

My favorite book recently was “Sapiens”. It’s a grand overview of the history of humankind. I may not agree with the author on all his points, but I enjoyed it a lot, not to mention learned a lot as well. It really made me think about our species, what we’ve accomplished and where we’re going.

TV SHOW

I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed (out loud!) so much watching a TV Show. Rachel Bloom, the creator and main star of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is a breath of fresh air. Don’t let the title fool you, in addition to being extremely funny, this show is also really smart. I was surprised to see it was a musical - but the songs are absolutely hilarious, I think “I’m So Good At Yoga” and “Let’s Generalize About Men” are my favourites!
