BRANDING
branding done boldly
I am an award winning photographer with over a decade of experience in commercial photography, editorial photography and portraits, documentary photography, and of course creating content for social media. I thrive in a fast paced environment in order to build the perfect images for your conference or event. I am known for eliciting small amounts of wizardry to make interesting headshots and studio portraits that sing who you are. Have a bit more time? Let's spend a whole day together to capture a day in the life of your work or your organization.
I am not only good at creating images, but I can also lead a corporate marketing package with my experience as a creative director and feel at home within a marketing team. Photos matter but so does how you use them in a marketing campaign to create your branding presence. Ampersand Grey is based out of Edmonton Alberta but my mobile lifestyle takes me across Canada, the US and overseas. If you ask me, summers are best spent rock climbing on The Chief in Squamish British Columbia. I believe love is love and I am an ally to gay, lesbian, transgender and all LGBTQ2S folks. If any of this sounds good to you, let’s chat!
THE PROCESS
-
So, you like the photos you see here, you're ready for your own session, now what?Glad you asked - and yay!!!! I believe your session needs to be catered to you specifically and as an over-communicator, we'll start with a chat. From the jump, hearing your story helps me guide our collaboration into great ideas together. Next, I'll send over the branding questionnaire. I know how saturated markets can be, and above-all, we need you to stand out. That questionnaire is a jump off point for you to start thinking about your why a bit more. As you give me more information about you, your business and your story, I can start to dream up the awesome images we'll make together.
-
How do we choose a location?I love to integrate the environment into photos with my clients but if your space isn't all that awesome, we can always dress up the Ampersand Grey studio to suit you! You can bring any decor items to make the space your own. We can also work together to come up with a different plan. There are many other studios and shared spaces in the city for you to rent, Airbnbs are great options too!
-
What's delivered?You'll receive a curated gallery of images in full resolution delivered digitally - fully edited. The number of images you'll receive will be determined by the package you choose. 30 min mini sessions get you a smaller gallery, when we do a day in the life session you'll have 100ish images in your gallery.

your best shot
In today's competitive landscape, your personal brand matters more than ever. A unique headshot isn't just a picture—it's a powerful tool that sets you apart from the crowd in an instant. Whether you're networking, building your online presence, or seeking new opportunities, a headshot that captures your personality, professionalism, and authenticity is essential. These need not be boring and bland but instead make a memorable first impression and stand out in a sea of generic profiles.
IT'S TIME FOR YOUR STORY TO STAND OUT
I have worked with all kinds of businesses, from large tech firms and investment corporations to mom and pop shops and one person shows. All of you have the same needs. But each of you have a different story. This matters. People need to show who they are in order to stand out in their market, and maybe now more than ever. That’s where I can help. Sound like the kind of photography fix you're looking for? Then I can't wait to chat with you!
