hi, i'm hillary
A photographer who's all about connection, honesty, playfulness & storytelling.
I believe that great photos come from being seen as you really are — and that when we lead with authenticity, it shows.
Lately, I’ve been feeling the call to tell a different kind of story: not just families and weddings (though I’ll always love those), but the stories of small business owners who are building something meaningful, something personal, something with heart.
If you’re someone who’s ready to show up in your brand as your full self — unapologetically and intentionally — I’d love to collaborate.
What I'm Looking For
I’m currently expanding my branding portfolio and opening up a limited number of spots for businesses that align with my values and vision.
I’m looking for people who:
- Care deeply about what they do
- Want to show up authentically in their work and online presence
- Are excited to tell their story and share their “why”
- Value intentional, honest visuals that reflect who they really are
If that sounds like you — you might be exactly who I’m looking for.
What's Included

This is more than a headshot session — it’s a creative collaboration rooted in connection and storytelling.
You’ll receive:
- A 60-minute branding session
- A thoughtful brand questionnaire to help us get clear on your story and values
- A 20-minute strategy call to plan the look, feel, and purpose of your shoot
- 5 edited, high-resolution images
- A featured write-up on my blog’s Local Business Spotlight, sharing your story and images with my audience
 
 
This is an exclusive portfolio-building offer for a limited number of businesses.
$250
Optional full gallery upgrade: $300
Why I'm Doing This
I’m drawn to businesses with heart. The kind where the mission is personal, the people behind it are genuine, and the story matters.
If I reached out to you directly, it’s because I already see that spark in what you’re creating. And if you found this page another way — and you’re feeling that little pull that says “this sounds like me” — I’d love to connect.
the best branding sessions are never just about showing what you do - they're about showing who you are.
i'm here to create images that reflect not only what your business looks like, but how it feels to experience it.
Ready to Collaborate?
I’m currently booking a small number of these sessions while I build this new part of my business. If you’re interested, reach out below — I’d love to hear your story and dream something up together.
 
 
My goal is to help passionate business owners feel proud of how they show up in their brand - and to capture that in a way that's
bold, joyful and true.

Where will the shoot take place?
If you have a space that feels like it fits your brand (think about where your magic happens!) let's shoot there. This could even be going for coffee! If not, let me know and I will put together an offer for those the need a space.
What should I wear?
Consider wearing your brand colours, and just wear something that makes you feel great. When you feel good, you look good, baby!
How many pictures will I receive?
The session includes 5 images of my selection .I'll provide a watermarked proofing gallery of a min. of 40 images for you to browse if you'd like to purchase additional images.
How much do you charge for additional images?
I do not sell individual images. If you love them and would like to purchase more, it's an optional $300 upgrade to receive ALL your images. (Min. 40 images)
Where are you based out of?
I'm located right between Barrie & Collingwood, ON. I'm willing to travel up to 2 hours for the right shoot! I charge a flat rate of $50 for travel.
What if I need help getting clear on my brand's vision?
The first step in this process is to fill in my thoughtfully crafted questionnaire which helps us both get clear on your brand values and your why. This is important to know going into your brand shoot, so that we can ensure the end result feels just right.
let's make magic together
real, beautiful storytelling
