Colette Barras and I met for this branding photoshoot in Mississauga. It blended calm confidence with a clean, modern aesthetic. Instead of leaning into soft studio light, we focused on creating images that highlight her clarity, professionalism, and the thoughtful way she approaches her work. The session unfolded with an easy, natural flow — simple styling, intentional movement, and a warm atmosphere that allowed her personality to come through in a way that feels honest and grounded. The result is a collection of portraits that feel polished yet approachable, perfectly aligned with the brand she’s building.
Colette of of Hope Works Counselling is a therapist, speaker, yoga teacher, and to top it all off, she wrote a children’s book!
We did this photo session in her beautiful home that she shares with her partner and two gorgeous labs. Naturally, we had to squeeze in some pictures with one of the dogs too! I think all dog lovers will understand 🙂
Colette needed some headshots for her upcoming book about to be published but we also added some lifestyle branding images for her overall brand.
These types of images are super important to make a brand more personable and connect to the audience a business is trying to reach.
Colette’s personality is very warm and she has a beautiful smile that instantly makes you at ease, which I think shows in all of her photos.
