Kate Paterson Creative I'm a branding photographer in the Lower Mainland/ Fraser Valley. I thrive on tell your branding story through my images and videography.

Your business brand should all be about WHO you are WHAT you do and WHY you do it and I'm here to tell it with you.

Starting a brand new business is exciting, nerve-wracking and SO worth celebrating.

Cheryl is the sister of one of my long-time clients, and when she went out on her own as a mortgage broker in Richmond, she wanted her brand to start strong from day one. So we did her branding session at home, in two looks, coffee in hand (the best way to do anything, right?).

Then she sent me this: “Kate made everything look so easy and stress-free.” Cue the happy dance!

Swipe for her full review. If you're launching something new, let's chat about headshots and branding photos that help clients trust you before your first meeting.

Can we talk about how good jewellery looks in real life? Not on a white background, but on a slow, cozy morning with a warm mug in your hands.

For Liz Cameron Co, we spent the morning at home with Joy: a soft grey knit, layered gold rings and the prettiest pearl bracelet catching the window light. Their pieces are made to be worn every day, so that's exactly how we photographed them.

Product photos show the piece. Lifestyle photos show how it feels to wear it, and that's what makes someone fall in love.

Have products that deserve this kind of love? I'd love to chat!

My favourite part of every session? The moment you see your photos and say, "wait, is that really me?!"

Welcome to the very first KPC Issue! Think of it as a mini magazine from behind my camera: what I offer, what's new and what a shoot day with me looks like. I'm a branding photographer in Abbotsford, photographing women across the Fraser Valley and Vancouver, and every session is planned around you.

The branding experience is my favourite to plan! It starts with a discovery call about your business and the clients you want to attract. Then we map out your location, styling and creative direction together (hair and makeup referral included). On the day, I'll guide you through every pose so you can relax and have fun, and your polished gallery arrives right on time, ready for your website and socials.

When your photos finally match the business you've built, everything feels easier. Your website, your socials, even that About page you keep putting off.

If your brand is ready to come into focus, let's chat. Link in bio 🤍

New to your industry and wondering how to show up like you've been doing this for years? Let me introduce you to Olivia 🤍

Olivia is a realtor with Engel & Völkers, helping first-time buyers and growing families find home in White Rock and South Surrey. She was brand new to real estate when we met, and she arrived with a Pinterest board, a clear vision and the best fresh energy. She even did her own hair and makeup (and nailed it).

We kept her realtor branding photos soft and neutral, all creams and warm wood, so they feel as kind and approachable as she is. When you're starting out, your photos do so much of the trust-building for you. They're your first hello before a client ever picks up the phone.

Starting something new? Let's chat about photos that feel like you.

The person who makes everyone else camera ready deserves her own moment in front of the lens 🤍

Verónica is a makeup artist and hairstylist, and one of my go-to artists for my branding clients across Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. This time it was her turn in front of my camera, and her personal brand photos are all her: warm, polished and real.

If you spend your days making other people shine, your brand deserves photos that show you too. Let's chat about creating ones that feel like you.

No two businesses are the same, so don’t let your content blend with everyone else’s. Let your business stand out and truly resonate not just where you are now but all the places you’d like it to go.

Cassandra reached out to me earlier in the summer and we planned something high end for her business. Quality content that reflects all the possibilities she’s working towards.

Loove capturing something that not only aligns with the vision but excites a brand to go further.

The strongest team photos I take are not four headshots taken on four different days.

You can always tell. Four different lights, four different backgrounds, four slightly different versions of professional. Line them up on a website and they look like four people who happen to share a logo.

One session fixes it. Same light, same look, one afternoon. You get the group frame that makes you look like an actual team, everyone still gets their own solo shots, and it works out cheaper per person than booking separately.

Most of my real estate clients come as teams, and several have rebooked the whole team as people came and went. That is the argument, really.

Send this to your team lead.

I know exactly how it feels to dread being photographed. That is precisely why I do this work.

I was the one deleting photos of myself. Rewriting a caption four times. Deciding I would update my website once I looked a bit more like the version of me I had in my head.

So I understand what it actually costs a woman to book this. It is not really about the photos. It is about being willing to be seen at exactly the stage you are at, rather than the stage you meant to be at by now.

And the moment it shifts, when she stops managing her face and starts just being in the frame, is still the best part of my job. Over half the women who book me tell me they hate being photographed. That is not a warning sign. That is who this work is for.

Tag a woman who deserves to see herself this way.

How often I have the question, what actually happens during a branding session and here’s it is

Before we ever get to the location we’ve chatted countless times and have a very clear vision and plan in mind. So as soon as we meet we just need to chat through the ideas and create a plan for the space and the outfits you choose.

From there, we bounce around the space and capture all the photo and video content possible. The best part, is that because we’ve done the hard part before getting there, its relaxed and easy when we’re on location.

We hang out, chat and capture all the good things.

Save this for when you’re ready + let’s chat! Link in bio

We don’t always need a full branding session, sometimes a fresh headshot is the only thing you need in order to stay connected where you need to be.
