PURE you

Every single woman should be captured beautifully at least once in her life and experience a photoshoot!

With some exciting changes in her life, Kim wanted to celebrate herself and do something for herself. We had so much fun and the entire afternoon was filled with laughter.

“Thank you so much! I truly had such a wonderful time shooting this special moment with you. [...] I was looking at the photos again last night and it was making me emotional to really take in the beautiful photos!”

A boudoir photoshoot with Chelsea was such a creative project.

Chelsea wanted iconic sensual photos, so beautiful lace lingerie and an oversized white shirt were a perfect outfit!

Warm Fall with Christie Ressel

It feels like fall came and went but at least here in Toronto it’s been very warm!

It’s never a dull day working with Stylist & Youtuber Christie Ressel and it’s always wonderful photographing her outfits.

Christie’s next outfit proves that a white shirt doesn’t need to be boring.

Dressed up with interesting fabrics and accessories it’s very creative.

Warm fall days are perfect for integrating a little sparkle in our outfits as well.

Another outfit option that is lovely for fall and winter are sweater dresses.

Vests are also fantastic for fall and they often get overlooked. They are especially great for warmer fall days and give so many styling options.

This last outfit is a good reminder that just because summer is gone, we don’t need to wear dark outfits only. Bright outfits always add so much light and coziness!

Working with Chelsea again has been wonderful and we’ve unleashed even more creativity this time.

Chelsea Johnson is the Host of Cue to Cue Podcast. She’s an actor, singer, director, vocal coach and lover of all things creative. Since our last Branding Photoshoot together, Chelsea’s brand progressed as well.

Chelsea's brand colors are gold/yellow, black and white, so we designed the photoshoot and styled the sets with this in mind. If you look closely, you'll notice Chelsea's eyes are actually golden. #thegirlwithgoldeneyes

“Agnes is so detailed oriented and really wants to understand your brand and what YOU are all about. I cannot recommend her enough! For anyone with a personal brand or business, this woman knows hers stuff! Just so much gratitude for this woman and her creativity! Thank you Agnes!”

Fall Favorites 2020

November 2, 2020

Fall is here and I’m hoping it will stay for a while…

Fall is such a beautiful season, however in Ontario, Canada it doesn’t last very long. It always gets very challenging booking fall photoshoots, because there’s only a few weeks to work with when the colors are at their finest and the leaves are still on the trees.

I really wanted to enjoy this season before winter comes and we’re stuck indoors…

Here’s a few of my fall favorites which made me enjoy this time more:

White Sweaters

As a big fan of white I don’t believe in saying “no white after Labour Day”. White sweaters have this air of coziness about them and they go beautifully with all colors.

2. Fall Blazer

It took me a while to find the perfect blazer. It goes well with both pants and skirts, it’s also very comfortable.

3. Books

Good books are a must for fall! They are obviously great companions during long, fall evenings. So far, I enjoyed these two books the most this fall:

“American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins - while there’s a heated discussion about this book, I can’t deny that I couldn’t put it down.

Synopsis: Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable…

“Educated” by Tara Westover - it’s easy to forget at times that this book is actually a biography.

Synopsis: Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag". In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard.

4. Green Heels

I’ve been eyeing these Sam Edelman heels for a while as they’re supposed to be not just beautiful but also easy to walk in and quite comfortable. They didn’t disappoint and are the most comfortable pair of heels I own.

5. Photo of the season: Shammy

It’s always very hard to choose a favorite photo of the season as they’re all special to me. There’s something about this image though as I feel the expression, composition and even the outfit came so beautifully together.

6. Sweaters & dresses

If you know me personally, you might already know that I adore wearing dresses with sweaters in the fall. It’s such a photogenic outfit and I don’t see it out there enough. It’s feminine, comfortable and creative.

7. “Normal People”

Based on Sally Rooney’s New York Times best-selling novel, “Normal People” tracks the tender but complicated relationship of Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days.

I read Rooney’s book few months back and learned from one of my clients that CBC streams a tv show based on it. I found it excellent and couldn’t stop watching it.
