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.

Krista Marie

City:

Ottawa, Canada

Loves working with:

I love working with women business owners who are deeply passionate about what they do — whether they’re service providers, creatives, therapists, coaches..they’re heart-driven, super talented, and ready to start playing bigger in their life and business.

Their vibe -- they’re warm, thoughtful, and quietly confident — but they also have a big vision and are ready to show up for it in a bigger way. Most of my clients are at that pivotal moment where they’re done with the DIY phase — they’ve outgrown piecing things together and want visuals that actually match the high-level experience they’re providing.

They don't care about being 'internet famous' or going viral — they care more about creating meaningful impact, working with dream clients, and building brands that feel true to who they are.

Photoshoot locations:

I typically do shoots in private rented homes/studio spaces. Each of my current packages include an indoor rental (so they don't have to pay more for it) and they can have on-brand photos in a gorgeous space (with great lighting and scenery). My goal is to make it as easy as possible so I help choose the best location based on their brand vibe!

Photography style / aesthetic:

I love using natural light to capture bright, clean photos with pops of color! My clients always rave about how vibrant and fresh their photos feel — it brings a really 'high-vibe' energy to their brand without feeling forced.

One of the biggest compliments I get (and one that means the most to me!) is that my clients look like real people — not overly posed, not like influencers or models — but the very best, most confident version of themselves.

My style is all about helping them feel relaxed, supported, and genuinely themselves in front of the camera, so the final photos don't just look beautiful — they actually feel like their brand and energy.

Languages spoken:

English (trying to learn French but have a LONG ways to go before I'm fluent)

Vibe check:

My vibe is super warm, encouraging, and collaborative — a mix of strategic posing, hyping you up (like I'm your biggest fan), and making sure you feel like the absolute rockstar behind your brand.

Fun fact / hidden talent:

I am a lover of the enneagram!
