LinkedIn Portrait Day | Vancouver Headshots

Tis’ the season for doing business portraits. This January I held my first LinkedIn Business Portrait Day and sold mini session spots to some wonderful folks. Each session was 15 minutes long and was fun and challenging because I had to make a connection with each person in a short period of time. Here’s a few of my favourites from the day and a lovely quote from a new client.

“Working with Belle for this year’s LinkedIn photo was great. Our time together was casual, fun, light, and enjoyable - we laughed, we connected easily, and the gallery of proofs I received to pick my photo from was great - - the only challenge was picking just one photo! 😆 I can’t wait to go back next year and get an updated photo for the profiles! I’d definitely recommend Belle for your head photo (and more!) needs!”

Trevor Loke | Vancouver Headshots

Working with Trevor Loke to update his headshots was a lovely reunion.
We hadn’t seen each other since our last collaboration in 2019.
We enjoyed a relaxing walk around downtown Vancouver, catching up on the past few years and creating these fresh new headshots.
Trevor is the Executive Director of Transparency International Canada and co-founder of Orgmatch. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone so dedicated to making a positive impact.
You can see Trevor’s 2019 headshot session HERE.

“Belle is such a pleasure to work with.
Her eye and personal touch are unmatched in bringing out the best in clients. Anyone who is looking for the perfect professional photo should look no further than Belle. ”

Janice Duddy Consulting | Vancouver Headshots

My FAV portrait from an absolutely delightful session with Janice Duddy creating images for her consulting business WEBSITE.

“Belle was a super person to work with and a very talented photographer. My partner and I needed to update our professional headshots (to reflect our more mature selves :)) and she made the experience pleasant and even fun. She was responsive and we got our images in a very timely manner. We would highly recommend Belle! Thank you Belle the photos look great!”

Dr. Elisabeth Baerg Hall | Vancouver Headshots

Working with Dr. Elisabeth Baerg Hall again was a delightful experience.
As an expert in adult ADHD, an educator, and sought-after speaker, Elisabeth brings warmth and energy to everything she does. Her thoughtful outfit choices and collaborative spirit made capturing her vibrant personality a joy. She shows how a great headshot can be both approachable and professional.
I’m thrilled with the images we created together to support her work at The ADHD Centre for Education & Training and as a Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia.

Mustafa Akhtar | Vancouver Headshots

I recently photographed Vancouver Realtor Mustafa Akhtar in Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood.
Mustafa serves clients in the West End and wanted to utilize some of the older buildings for his new branding images.
Collaborating and getting to know him was a pleasure. As we walked through the neighborhood, he shared stories about the history of some of the older buildings and why he loved them.

“I worked with Belle to get Headshots done… it was not only fun to do the shoot with her, but the results are fantastic.”

Kate Pierre | Vancouver Headshots

Kate Pierre is the owner and designer at KATE&FRANCES DESIGN.
Kate is a visionary who couldn't find the clothing she desired to express her true self. Her vision came to life in the form of versatile, body-friendly dresses that exude style and comfort. In fact, she’s wearing one of her designs in these portraits.
Kate contacted me to create portraits to launch a new career path and website. Her services will be a kaleidoscope of fashion industry consulting, career advice, and education—all rolled into one stylish package.
The portrait setting couldn't have been more perfect. Granville Island's vibrant atmosphere, with its colourful textured walls, provided an ideal backdrop for capturing Kate's personality.
As Kate prepares to unveil her new Fashion Consultant website, I can't help but feel proud to have played a part in this visual storytelling experience with her.
