Capturing Transformation: A Brand Photography Session with Sitting by the Fire
As a brand photographer based in Ottawa, I had the privilege of collaborating with "Sitting by the Fire," a transformative wellness service founded by Jelle. Specializing in energy healing, trip sitting, and fire ceremonies, Jelle offers a sanctuary for individuals seeking self-discovery and healing.

Capturing the essence of such a deeply personal and spiritual brand required a thoughtful and immersive approach. I aimed to reflect the serene and transformative atmosphere that Jelle cultivates. Key elements of the photoshoot included:

“At the start of my business, Dorothea helped me to articulate how I wanted the pictures related to my products to look like. This conversation gave her the inspiration to suggest certain locations and objects to take with me on the photoshoot for my brand. The preparation was almost as intentional and meaningful as the shoot itself, which I consider a great success.”
