“It may seem like just “pictures” but I can honestly say, this experience changed my life. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I would highly recommend Agnes to any woman ready to step into her power and embrace her authentic self.”

“When it was time to see my photos, I was worried that I would have only a few possible ones that would turn out. I was so happy to see that Agnes was able to capture aspects of myself that I didn’t know existed. I was happy with them all and had to have them all. No, I was beyond happy. [...] The photos were just the confidence boost I needed.”

“I will start by saying I am somewhat (lol) particular in who I work with as a photographer. I will also add that I have done this for many years and have never worked with a pro like Agnes. She is a one-of-a-kind photographer. Her talent is second to none and on top of that Agnes brings a creativity to the table that is truly unique.

I have done many photo shoots, but nothing like the ones with Pure Studios. Her work and #rockstar clients speak for themselves. I will also add she is fantastic at collaborating with you to get the look that you want. Her styling expertise is so appreciated!”

“When I saw the pictures I was lost for words. I was in utter amazement that my pictures turned out so stunning, I could see these pictures in a magazine.

This whole experience has thought me that anything is attainable, I have never really been happy with my pictures and chalked it down to me not being photogenic. But Agnes has proved me wrong and showed me that having the right guidance and skill can totally change that.

This photoshoot was truly the first thing I have ever done on my own for me that was fun and exciting and enjoyable. The whole experience was amazing. I want to do this again in my 50’s!”

“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!”

“You have this rare gift about you Agnes - your persona - this kind, loving, gentle quality that draws souls in easily and effortlessly, no judgment and just pure authentic honest conversation. This is your superpower. I am sure you have traveled with it your entire life and brought so much wisdom to every person you encounter. 

I want to thank you for letting me be part of your universe - I am so grateful that our paths crossed when they did”

“I wanted to thank you so much for everything that you have done this far for me. You have helped change my life, more than you could have realized. You have opened my eyes to the beauty of photography and in humanity. [...] Thank you for making me feel beautiful and ready to take this important next step in my life.

This is a moment that will be captured in my life as #thatstheone”

“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!”

“You’ve got the skills and positive vibes to wake the best of individuals...
loved every minute of our session, thank u!”

“Thanks so much, you are so great at your craft! You nailed it and I am very grateful for you and your work!”

“I had so much fun and you made everything look fabulous!”

“I loveddddd my shoot with you! I knew the instant we spoke YOU were it! You were my photographer for life. Thank you for making me feel so comfortable and being a part of my entrepreneurial journey.”

“It was great working with you also Agnes! We are so happy with the photos!”

“Thank you for working with me. :) I appreciate the way you’ve captured the essence of what I stand for: Beauty, Fashion, Empowerment, Self-love, Spiritual connection, Self-care... I love the photos and am looking forward to sharing them with the World. ”

“Self marketing is awkward. I dislike most photos of myself & never feel confident putting them out for the world to see... yet it is so imperative to put a face to the name & present myself. I am my business. No face when I’m the face of my work wouldn’t work so well...

How did I overcome that?

Pure Studios

In a nutshell, Agnes makes you feel like you in a way you’re proud to present & share with the world! She specializes in branding photography & has a seamless way of empowering women to not only look great in photos but to feel great. Working with her changed my perspective on self portraits.

At our consultation she said something I laughed off... She told me to make plans for the night of our photo shoot because I’d leave feeling great about myself & wouldn’t want to take my head of done hair & makeuped face home. I didn’t believe her & showed up on shoot day an anxious mess...

I left feeling exactly how she told me I’d feel. On cloud 9, empowered, excited, confident! I was so in awe that I actually LIKED pictures of myself.”

“Working with Agnes and Pure Studios is a dream! She took the time to understand who I am as a person as well as how I want my business to be portrayed online and offline. Agnes went the extra mile throughout the process and always made me feel comfortable in front of a camera. Her work is magical and she captures everyone’s inner and outer beauty in a single photograph. I’ve worked with her twice already and can’t wait for my next photoshoot!”

“I work with Agnes on a regular basis for my photos and she’s made life so much easier for me! Photos were always such a source of frustration for me. Now, thanks to Agnes, they’re a breeze! She sources locations for our shoots, keeps my branding colours aligned in the photos, and always delivers the photos to me so quickly; she’s such a pro! On top of all of that, she’s a complete delight to work with. I highly recommend working with her when it comes to your business; you won’t regret it!”

“A couple of weeks ago I worked with the fabulous photographer Agnes from Pure Studios to take some professional photos of me & I just got back from her studio after the Reveal. I couldn’t be more ecstatic over the images she was able to capture of me. The interior design industry is all visual and that includes pictures of yourself. I am my brand so damnit I better look good, right? With any service company you are basically representing yourself and what your company stands for!”

“Hi Agnes,
Thanks so much! I wanted to thank you again for such a great experience. That was by the far the most structured and smoothest photoshoot I have ever been to.

After I left yesterday I felt so confident in myself after reviewing the photos and your photography skills.

I’m sure most women think this way, but during the shoot I was constantly thinking about if my hair was okay, if my smile didn’t look forced, if my outfits were looking good, that my legs didn’t look too large, my stomach rolls weren’t standing out, and that I wasn’t showing a double chin. I was also hoping by some small miracle I would look as great as the rest of your clients – they are all so beautiful and their outfits are amazing!

I’m still amazed by the photos and your talent of how you captured nothing of what I was worried about and everything about myself and my personality that I love. I feel very confident (especially after losing a lot of confidence after having a baby!) and empowered and think every woman deserves your services!

Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future. ”

“Agnes, you certainly know how to make a girl feel beautiful and I felt like nothing less than glamourous at my session. You were patient, you listened attentively and you are professional. You were certainly born to be a photographer because you have a keen eye for capturing individuals. I had a great time working with you and I look forward to working with you again!”

“Dear Agnes, I was trying to find the perfect card and this one spoke to me to say thank you for the incredible day we had. Thank you for capturing my essence and making it such a beautiful experience! You are so talented and amazing in every way!”

“I do not have enough words to express how much I appreciate the photographs you have taken. I don’t want to call them photographs, they are more than that! We need to find another word! You made the experience empowering and I was so nervous, you made me so comfortable!”

“You are an inspiration to me! You exuded kindness, a heart of gold and the uncanny ability to see beauty in everything you photograph. You see the world through a love filled lens and you are one bad ass boss babe! Sending you a great big (((HUG)))”

“Such an awesome experience to work with you! You really bring out the best in people, encouraging and guiding. Every woman deserves a photoshoot like this. You made me feel comfortable and at home. Thank you! Love the pictures!”

“I don’t know if you get this all the time or not but all I know is what I feel. You have inspired me to be excited about my new beginning on my journey in life and there are not enough words in the dictionary to say how thankful I am for what you’ve done for me. Thank you!”

“My initial branding consultation with Pure Studios left me incredibly inspired. Agnes provided step by step guidance paying attention to all the intricate details yet keeping the entire vision of our project in mind. The day of the shoot Agnes was simply professional and fun at the same time. The vision she created off camera truly became alive on camera. Her flawless and laid back approach to her work really shined through the entire time. The end result; beyond amazing branding photos. I am eternally grateful Agnes for this incredible experience. ”

“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!”

“Most of all, what I loved about working with Pure Studios was the level of professionalism and quality care. From the beginning to end, the process from planning to shooting and then revealing the final shots - flawless!

Agnes is beautiful inside and out! She took the time to make me feel comfortable, was genuine and made me feel welcomed in every way - it was her presence that I truly feel helped bring my best self out for the shoot. What I loved about Agnes, was before anything she took the time to get to know me as a person, and you could see my personality shining through each photograph because of that. Thank you Agnes! ”

“Agnes, thank you for the lovely photoshoot. Your approach made me feel comfortable and at ease. I felt confident throughout the day and it was captured in the photographs. You made me feel truly beautiful. Thank you for that. I will recommend you to anyone looking for photos.”

“I am in love with the pics! I am absolutely thrilled! Thanks again!”

“Thank you Agnes for capturing “ME” - you are so truly gifted at what you do! You bring out the absolute best in everyone at the same time making them feel so comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about you!”

“Agnes made the entire experience easy, comfortable and fun! She is incredibly talented and her work speaks for itself.
From the moment I met her I was filled with confidence because of her professionalism.
Investing in these photographs was worth my time and money because Agnes has given me something that I can treasure forever. I cannot be happier with my photos; they are timeless and absolute perfection! I had a hard time choosing my favorites so I got them all!!!
I look forward to working with her again and creating magic.”

“Thank you soooooo sooooo much. You have no idea how much your work has boosted my confidence to tackle the world! I am totally referring you to EVERYONE I know!”

“ It was so wonderful meeting you and working with you and I’m looking forward to more creative photoshoots. You helped me push myself gently into new creative spaces and you did it with love and respect and compassion, and for that I am forever grateful!”

“I own both a Beauty Business and a Medical Spa and Personal Branding is key in my industry. Agnes captures my energy without me even having to direct my vision much and she makes me feel STUNNING!”

“When you’re used to seeing yourself glammed up a fair bit, on screen or in print, it’s very hard to be impressed with photographs of yourself. Being fairly self-critical doesn’t help either. Needless to say, photo shoots although fun, are often laced with much anxiety.

But my latest session was different. The photographer, a friend & ex-colleague, made it an absolute joy. Not only was I comfortable, but she calmed me down, made me feel beautiful & captured images I can truly say I love.

Thank you SO much Agnes for a brilliant shoot & a wonderful working experience!”

“The first thing that grabbed me during the shooting was Agnes’ gentle approach and calmness mixed with passion for unearthing different shades of beauty that lie in an ordinary woman met on a street. I have never seen myself as a model. Agnes’ photographs proved to me that I am a young woman, a delicate Botticelli’s creature. I felt special, as Agnes looked deeply into my eyes, and   in trusting her, she evoked my subtle feminine spirit, and then made it shine.”

“Everyone should be touched by Agnes’ angelic artistry at Pure Studios at least once! What I find so amazing about Agnes’ work is her ability to truly “know” each of her subjects, discovering their personalities and their desires and allowing them to shine in front of her lens.

I have had several photo shoots with Agnes and each time she completely dedicates herself to understanding my purpose, my goals and my comforts making the experience working with her truly memorable and very personable. Throughout the shoots, she allows me to work out of my comfort zone by establishing an intimate connection with me - and through this all, my inner light is captured beautifully.”

“Agnes, I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday’s photo shoot. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I really love your style. I cannot wait to shoot with you again, when I am training for my fitness competition. Thank you for being so lovely to work with and so accommodating.”

“I love Pure Studios and Agnes Kiesz, a Photographer who truly brings out the essence in everyone she shoots... we MUST do this again my dearest!”
