Andrea Reimer Headshot Session
/I officially met Andrea Reimer when she spoke during the Granville Island Women’s Storytelling Walk I photographed.
Previously I had heard her speak at a luncheon where she shared a personal life experience and I was brought to tears.
I love the testimonial she gave me. It might be the most honest one I’ve received yet.
“I *hate* having my photo taken. Belle turned what is usually a torturous process into a lot of fun. Like going to the dentist and finding out you like the dentist!”
John Horodyski - Optimity Advisors
/John Horodyski, King of the Pocket Squares, also known as an expert in Digital Asset Management (DAM).
I don’t even know what that means. I do know I loved the time we spent together and the portraits we created.
John is caring, funny and intelligent. I think these images captured him perfectly.
“Belle is professional, personable, and provides an excellent experience for her photography sessions. Great photographers not only take good photos, but also care about the quality of their work, and make their clients feel good and at ease.
Belle is a true artist behind the lens with a keen eye to masterfully capture the best moments. I highly recommend.”
Anita Melin - Open Door Communications
/Anita Melin helped me when my relationship and career were ending, and I was leaving my small Kootenay town to study photography in the big city. It was a lot of change and I needed guidance to make the transition and those big life decisions.
Anita recently reached out to me as her counselling business had moved online and she needed a headshot for her new website.
I was visiting family close by her in Revelstoke and she made the drive up to meet me for her session. I knew the perfect location and we created these lovely portraits at sunset at the Revelstoke Greenbelt.
Since she was close to a national park she took advantage and did some hiking the day after her session.
I think these portraits capture her free spirit and her love of nature beautifully.
Saltwater Law Vancouver
/I pestered Catherine Wong for 2 years to come into the studio to do headshots for Saltwater Law’s non-existent website.
Finally, that day arrived when they needed my photography services for the launch of their new website.
During the photo shoot, we had disco music playing, spontaneous dancing, lots of laughter, and an all-around great time.
Together, we collaborated to select a colour background and lighting that was in harmony with the vibrant branding on their new website.
She's the Best || Vancouver Headshot Photographer
/Gina Best wanted something that reflected her bold and beautiful take-no-shit business coaching attitude. She literally has the F-word splashed across the home page of her website and speaks to why ‘fine’ just isn’t good enough in this video.
Gina wanted her portraits to be vibrant and fun. We found the perfect location to reflect her dynamic personality in front of this incredible Vancouver Mural Festival painting by Artist Elyse Dodge.
Trevor Loke || Vancouver Headshot Photographer
/A few short weeks after Trevor Loke and I created these portraits he accepted a new job in the United Kingdom. Trevor will be taking on the position of Head of Fundraising at the University of Portsmouth.
I'm happy for his new career and life adventure, but sad about not working together in the future.
Trevor wanted a rustic urban feel to his headshots so we headed to Vancouver’s historic Gastown area.
