Unbelievable Transformation: How One Realtor Conquered Camera Nerves and Glowed

March 12, 2024
Blog  ·  Lifestyle  ·  Photography

Hey friend! Kate here, your go-to portrait and branding photographer in beautiful Vancouver. Gather ’round, because I’ve got a story that’ll make you want to jump for joy!

So, picture this: I recently had the best opportunity to work with a local realtor, Am. And let me tell you, it was an absolute blast from start to finish. Am came into the session a little jittery, thanks to some not-so-great experiences in the past. I mean, can you believe she struggled to even like a couple of photos out of a hundred from her previous shoots? Ouch!

But here’s where the magic kicks in. We got together, had a few laughs, and before we knew it, we were capturing some seriously awesome shots. Despite those initial nerves, I made it my mission to help Am feel totally comfortable and herself in front of the camera. And guess what? She absolutely rocked it!

As we clicked away, something incredible happened. With each snap, Am’s true personality started to shine through brighter and brighter. No more stiff poses or forced smiles – just the real, authentic Am. And let me tell you, she looked like an absolute boss.

Now, fast forward to the big reveal – the moment when Am got to see her gallery for the first time. To say she was blown away would be the understatement of the century. I’ll never forget the look on her face as she scrolled through image after image, struggling to choose her favorites because she loved them all. In fact, she ended up expanding her gallery by a whopping 500% because she couldn’t bear to part with any of them. Talk about a success story!

But the real cherry on top? Am’s words to me after seeing her photos: “Kate! These photos are the best I’ve ever seen of myself! You are a magician💫 It’s going to be difficult to choose. Thank you so much for your amazing work.” Seriously, talk about making a photographer’s day!

So, what’s the moral of this epic tale? Simple: Whether you’re a realtor, a kick-ass entrepreneur, or just someone who wants to feel like a million bucks in front of the camera, don’t underestimate the power of a great photographer. With a little planning, a whole lot of fun, and a sprinkle of magic, we can capture moments that’ll make you feel like the superstar you truly are.

Until next time, my friend – keep shining bright and never forget to embrace your awesomeness. And if you ever need a photographer who’s just as stoked about capturing your essence as you are about living it, you know where to find me. Here’s to creating memories that’ll last a lifetime!

This Thanksgiving, I’m extra thankful for every conversation, collaboration, and connection that’s helped my business grow — and for the people behind every brand I’ve had the honour of capturing. You make what I do so meaningful.

Here’s to pausing for a moment to soak it all in, and then heading into the rest of the year with full hearts (and maybe full plates too 🥧).

Happy Thanksgiving, friends — I’m so grateful for you all.

I’ll be honest — I never feel fully comfortabl I’ll be honest — I never feel fully comfortable in front of the camera. It always feels like so much prep, organizing, and a whole process just to get here. But every single time, it’s worth it.

Stepping in front of the lens is one of those things that pushes you out of your comfort zone — and that’s exactly where growth happens. These self-portraits are a reminder that showing up, even when it feels a little uncomfortable, creates results you’ll never regret.

If you’ve been putting off updating your photos, consider this your sign: it’s worth it, every time

A brand refresh doesn’t mean scrapping everything you’ve built. It’s about leveling up the pieces you already have so your visuals feel current, aligned, and ready to carry you forward with confidence.
