Have you ever browsed websites in your industry and seen the same generic photos?
Do you want to show customers why you’re different from the others?
Have you just realised your website doesn’t capture the heart of your business?
You work hard to service your customers - there’s a reason they return and spread the word. When you use generic, stock photos that many other businesses use, you’re saying to your customers “I’m the same as my competitors”.
WE both know that’s not true. Let’s change that. Let’s capture the essence of your business and show it to the world. Photos are a powerful, easy, memorable way for your customers to understand who you are, what you do, and how you do it.
Let us help you make it easier for customers to choose you.
I recently had some headshots done with Kristie at Inspired Commercial Photography. I was nervous leading up to getting my photo taken but Kristie was able to make me feel relaxed. We had a good laugh & before I knew it we were done. She knew what would look good and the finished product exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Kristie, she is wonderful & I will be back for some family shots!

About Your Portrait Photographers
Principal Photographer Kristie Dutson and her team are honoured to be trusted to capture your business in a way that’s meaningful for you and your business - for your customers.
They don’t feel that they are just taking a picture. They love how photos represent people and businesses in a way that’s meaningful, for instance a photo of a team member fully absorbed in helping a customer. Bringing your business branding to life with dynamic and impactful imagery is our priority.
Your industry is filled with the same products and services. Customers are selective and savvy. They need more than comparisons and reviews. More than stock photos.
Sensory branding is a newer approach that recognizes our customers need more than physical and functional products and services. We now know that customers aren’t rational - logic backs up emotion and feelings. Not the other way around.
Photos bring back memories, stir up strong feelings deep inside, and bring us closer to those we love and want to support - that includes businesses and the people in those businesses.
Kristie has been a photographer for 10 years - along with being a registered nurse, and a midwife for even longer. She can calm even the most camera-shy person. She has a knack for bringing the human element into professional photos that will deepen your bond with your customers and prospects.
Kristie did an amazing job with my headshots. She is so fast and efficient but really knows her stuff. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone needing corporate work done.

FAQs
How do I prepare for my session?

- Inform your staff about the session and schedule
When do I pay?
All sessions are paid for upfront, prior to your proposed session. Please see Prices for more details.
What happens if I have to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens. We will work with you to figure out an alternative, suitable date and time.
What types of packages do you offer - standard or tailored?
We tailor packages according to the unique needs of your business. You’ll be guided through this during your planning consultation where everything will be detailed in your session brief.
