Small business owners reach out to me because they want to create custom imagery for their business and one of my favourite parts of the process is hearing their story. The story of how they got to where they are, the reason they started and why it inspires to keep them going. My goal is to work with them to come up with images that reflect both their work and personality.

Kait of Toronto Made Style runs a lifestyle guide and I had the opportunity to take a few portraits for her. October is Small Business Month and I'm thankful to be able to create custom photography for local entrepreneurs, artists and small business owners like Kait.
Portrait: Marcus in Portland, Oregon
He was visiting Portland, just like I was. He had decided to leave his career to pursue what he was truly passionate about: music. Just as I had with photography.
As we talked, I could relate to the thoughts, fears and emotions that were going through his head. I had been there. To be honest, I'm still there. But I can live with knowing that I tried and saw for myself if I failed than to waste precious time wondering if I could have succeeded had I give it my all.
If you've gone through this process, I would love to hear your experience and advice. If you're going through it now, feel free to ask questions. I hope we can help each other out.
