Annemarie Gruden

City:

Ottawa, Canada

Loves working with:

I love working with heartfelt, creative, solo/female/male entrepreneurs that want to authentically capture and share their story with the world.

Their careers are diverse and include everything from personal brands, health & wellness industry, coaches, speakers, writers, fashion, tech industry. The topics are all diverse but the common thread is storytelling in a heartfelt and authentic way.

I've set my brand up in a similar way and it attracts likeminded individuals.

Photoshoot locations:

I have a small studio setup but also locations are diverse... the clients own works space, an Air BnB, hotels, commercial / public spaces, I'm blessed to work in a very beautiful part of the world when it comes to nature and outdoor shoots, those happen often.

Choosing a location is like planning the wardrobe, its an element of the session that needs to be choreographed and planned. I love finding locations that offer up at least two to three visual looks by simply turning around or walking into a different room.

Photography style / aesthetic:

I'd have to say my style is classic, but with a modern, boho, scandi vibe. I'm professionally trained and have honed my skill over the years to also shift my approach to capture and execute what the client really needs as a finished product.

Languages spoken:

English

Vibe check:

I'd like to say I’m simply chill & zen, which is a good thing but on shoot day I'm also your cheerleader and coach, so that when you look at your final set of images you'll not only see your amazing self, you'll be excited to share them with the world and put them to use throughout your whole business.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I'm a tree hugger at heart, my husband and I recently bought and moved to a forest and we're building a passive house, with rammed earth for the walls.

Elenora Luberto

City:

Ottawa, Canada

Loves working with:

I create powerful headshots and branding for business people who don't do mediocre.

Photoshoot locations:

I have a full-service studio in Kemptville (just south of Ottawa) but also serve clients on-location with the same consistent results I'm known for.

Photography style / aesthetic:

My style is compelling, authentic and timeless - without photoshop wizardry or trendy filters. My work is the result of knowing how to use flattering lighting, posing and direction so that EVERYONE shines in front of my camera (no matter how camera-shy they think they may be).

Languages spoken:

English and a smattering of French (I can get by)

Vibe check:

I am fun, energetic and passionate - and it will rub off on you, making for the most authentic, compelling photo results - no matter the type of session.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I was a high school English teacher in a previous career - making me incredibly organized and effective in communication. I can also read a room instantly and know what needs to be done and execute. If I can teach Romeo and Juliet to a group of 45 Grade 10 boys and have them eat it up (true story), I can handle the demands of your photography session - no matter how challenging you think it is. You WILL love your photos.
