Work Journal: Bloom + Wander Boutique

Fun fact; before I started art school, I was convinced I was going to become a fashion designer. Don’t believe me? Keep reading!

Although photography has always been my truest creative love, it wasn’t initially something I imagined as a career. Fashion design, on the other hand, seemed like a more viable career option with a multitude of possible jobs; designer, merchandiser, buyer or seamstress. So, what happened? After a lifetime of shooting on instant cameras and crappy digital point & shoots, the moment I stepped into NSCAD’s darkroom for the first time, I fell in love. There’s also the fact that industrial sewing machines are terrifying, but that’s a story for another time. These days, I love working with clients in the apparel industry, so you know good times were had at Bloom & Wander Boutique’s branding session. Over the course of a month, we captured interiors, lifestyle and product photography - these are just a few of my faves!

Pro-tip: Capturing portraits indoors? Whether you’re working with continuous lighting, strobes or natural window light, make sure you turn off any ambient lights to achieve consistent and natural lighting.
