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!

Have you met Lara? She’s one of my go-to hair a Have you met Lara?

She’s one of my go-to hair and makeup artists and the talent behind so many of the beautiful faces you see on this feed. The kind of person who instantly puts you at ease, listens to your vision, and knows exactly how to bring it to life — without ever making it feel overdone.

Having the right hair and makeup artist on your team changes the entire experience. It’s not just about looking polished, it’s about feeling confident, relaxed, and ready to show up as yourself in front of the camera.

So if you’ve ever wondered why my clients look so effortlessly put together… this is a big part of the magic.
There’s something really special about watching There’s something really special about watching someone step into a new chapter with so much intention.

Olivia is new to real estate, but the way she shows up already says a lot. She’s thoughtful, calm, and genuinely invested in the people she works with — the kind of person who listens first and never treats clients like a transaction.

We wanted these images to feel natural and lived-in. Not overly posed. Not forced. Just confident, approachable, and true to who she is — because that’s how trust actually starts.

So excited to introduce Olivia and the beginning of what she’s building 🤍

From the moment we started Kate made me feel so comfortable and at ease that all of my nerves disappeared. What could have felt intimidating quickly became an experience I genuinely enjoyed.

Kate has an incredible ability to capture people exactly as they are. Every image feels authentic intentional and truly me and I feel completely seen and beautifully represented through her work.

Her professionalism creativity and genuine kindness shine through in everything she does. I am beyond happy with my branding session and already so excited to work with her again. Thank you so much Kate you are absolutely incredible." Teresa
Your Brand's Visual Identity: Is It Whispering or Your Brand's Visual Identity: Is It Whispering or Shouting? 🎨

Think of your visual identity—the colours, the lighting, the tone of your videos—as your brand's voice. Is it consistently saying the same thing across your website, social media, and marketing materials?

Inconsistent visuals confuse the client and dilute your memorability. Great photography and videography services ensure every piece of content speaks with the same, powerful tone.

Consistency is the key to credibility. You want clients to feel they know you before they even send that first email.
