Thinking of getting family photos done after missing out on the peak of the fall season? Last year we had a warm fall which meant we still had gorgeous, warm evenings well into mid-October. This family booked their photo shoot on October 18th – quite late in the season – but we lucked out on nice weather (it was close to 20 degrees celsius!) and some of the leaves were still hanging on in the trees! We chose Henteleff Park in South St. Vital as our location and it was an absolute gorgeous backdrop for their family portraits.
If you’re wondering if you missed out on nice September family photos – don’t discount October! Even though I don’t recommend putting off booking your photo session late in the season, mid-October could still surprise you with some warm, sunny days with colours still in the trees.

Whenever taking corporate headshots, getting a mix of studio portraits and environmental headshots is a great way to add a dynamic and captivating look to your final collection of images. When this group approached me about doing their headshots this summer, we planned the session to include a few in-office headshots with studio lights and a solid white backdrop, but also going outside in the Exchange District to capture more of an urban and textured look to their group shots. Here are the results:
Shawna was looking to get some branding photos and headshots for her blog and social media presence, so we scheduled a photo session to make it happen. She’s passionate about cooking and organization and she runs her own business here in Winnipeg (and online). She teaches others how to be more efficient with their time as busy parents in the kitchen and offers resources and courses online. You can find her here: https://toobusylivin.com/

Taking headshots in your office can have two different looks: one with a clean white or black backdrop, and the other option is using the natural environment as the background. This can be done using a clear, open space inside a boardroom or lobby in an office space. Or, as we did with this group, we took some of their photos with the windows overlooking the cityscape as the background. Reflections can be tricky, but with the right light placement and camera angle, it can be done!
Here’s a sample of some of their in-office corporate headshots: some with the boardroom as the background, and others with the window overlooking Winnipeg. All that is needed is space in an office and two portable studio lights:

This past Spring I had the great joy of meeting up with Kate Bowler at Allure Studios to update her headshots. A portrait session with her is anything but boring or regular. Kate has this way of bursting onto the scene with instant love, constant quips (that crack me up) and really interesting observations that makes me wish I could just sit down and ask her questions for hours.
She also is a deep well of empathy and understanding – and if you ever wonder what podcasts I listen to during my hours and hours of editing… hers in on the top of my list. If you have a couple hours of driving or if you want some time to unwind, she is worth a listen. Her podcast stands out in the massive sea of content that is out there, and you will likely have an improved perspective on life after listening to her. (or at least feel like there’s a bit more sense in this senseless world)
It was my second time doing headshots for her and I always leave these sessions feeling gratitude and thankfulness. Thank you Kate for trusting me with this task – you are the loveliest!
