Just because you have 50 product photos doesn’t mean you have the right 50 product photos.

If you’re a small or midsized Canadian business, your product photography should be doing more than filling up your camera roll.

It should help customers understand what you sell, show them why they want it, build trust in your brand and give you versatile images you can actually use across your website, social media, email marketing and campaigns.

That takes more than pointing a camera at a product and hoping for the best.

It takes intentional product photography with a plan for the styling, lighting, creative direction and, most importantly, what each image needs to accomplish.

Because the goal isn’t to have MORE images.

It’s to have the RIGHT images for your brand and your business goals.

That’s what I help Canadian product-based businesses create through strategic product photography, right here in London, Ontario and across the country.

So, be honest: are your current product photos working for your business, or are they just … there?

The Canadian Brand Project | Campaign No. 04
Brand: KNDZ COFFEE

I came across KNDZ COFFEE while working with Giftii - Curated Gift Boxes recently and knew I wanted to add them to my Canadian Brand Project.

If you’re new here, the Canadian Brand Project is where I create campaign-style imagery for Canadian brands as if they were real client briefs. It’s a chance to try out new creative ideas, build my portfolio, and support and celebrate Canadian businesses along the way.

I haven’t had a chance to do one of these in a little while, so it was fun to get back to it with Simply Dark Roast, Caramel Glow and Chocolate Mood.

Although … it absolutely did NOT exactly go as planned. 😂

In my rush to get the chocolate, I made the rookie mistake of using a bar with a very well-known chocolate company’s name on it. Which meant I then spent far too much time removing it from the photos 🤦🏻‍♀️

A learning experience. And by learning experience, I mean I will be checking chocolate bars much more carefully from now on.

I also didn’t photograph the unique features of the KNDZ drip bags in this campaign. I was hoping I could send people over to their Instagram to discover how they work for themselves. A small act of good faith and community support.

But honestly, these look like such a great option for coffee lovers on the go. Road trips, camping, travel, the cottage … or hockey parents who are spending hours in an arena where the coffee options are questionable at best…

Good coffee, without needing to find a coffee shop? Yes please.

Now I need some suggestions for the next Canadian brand to look at. Is there a small Canadian business you love that I should check out? Let’s hear it.

Your brand isn’t like everyone else’s.

So why should your product photography be?

Some brands need bright, bold and colourful.
Some need clean and minimal.
Some need warm, cozy and tactile.
Some need dark and dramatic.
Some need playful, unexpected or just a little weird.

And I genuinely love all of it.

Because when I’m photographing a product, I’m not trying to make it look like MY work.

I’m trying to figure out what makes sense for YOUR brand.

The colours. The lighting. The styling. The props. The composition. The mood. And most importantly, how you want your customer to feel when they see your product.

That’s why my portfolio doesn’t have one signature “look.”

The goal isn’t for every brand I photograph to look like it came from the same photographer.

The goal is for each brand to look like itself … just really, really good.

So if you’re a product-based business looking for a product photographer, don’t just ask whether you like a photographer’s portfolio.

Ask whether they can make YOUR brand look like your brand.

That’s the part I find the most fun.

What kind of visual style feels most like your brand?

BUILT FOR THIS BRAND: Crafted Co.| Aromatherapy & Body Care

When I look at a brand, I don’t just look at the products.

I look at the feeling they’re trying to create.

For Crafted Co., that’s all about natural self-care, comfort, calm and those little everyday rituals that make you feel a bit more human. Their products range from aromatherapy and bath + body to candles and other self-care essentials, so I knew the photography needed to feel just as intentional as the products themselves.

I wouldn’t want to photograph these products sitting against a plain background and call it a day. Though we DID do a few of those 😉

I’d want to create imagery that makes you want to USE them.

Think soft textures.
Warm, natural elements.
A little bit of atmosphere.
Details that make you want to get closer.
And lifestyle images that help you picture the product as part of your own routine.

Because good product photography isn’t just about showing someone what a product looks like …

It’s about giving them an idea of what it might feel like to have it in their life.

And that’s one of my favourite parts of working with brands: figuring out what their products need to look like because of who they are.

Not every brand needs bright colours and bold props.
Not every brand needs clean white ecommerce images.
And not every brand needs the same visual treatment.

Your photography should make sense for your brand.

That’s what I’d build for this one.

Which image in this carousel feels the most Crafted Co. to you?

And if you’re a Canadian product-based business trying to figure out what your own visual direction should look like, that’s a conversation I’m always happy to have.

If this was my product, I wouldn’t want just one photo …

I’d want a little collection of images that gives me options. Just sayin’

For this The Scented Market | Scented Candles candle, I’d start with a hero image that clearly shows the product and gives it a strong visual presence.

Then I’d get in closer for the details, because sometimes the little things are what make someone want to pick a product up and take a closer look. Cue the hand-tied jute …

Then I’d bring in the lifestyle images.

One with a person, because I want the customer to be able to picture themselves using the product. Soft bed, cozy slippered feet, candle nearby … basically an invitation to slow down for a minute. And we ALL need that.

And then one without a person, because not every lifestyle image needs someone in it. A candle, a cup of tea with the fixings and a cozy setting that can tell the story just as well.

Four images. Four different jobs.

And that’s how I like to approach product photography.

Not just “How can I make this product look pretty?”

But “What images will actually be useful to this business?”

Your product might need clean ecommerce photography, detailed product images, lifestyle photography, social media content, launch imagery … or a combination of all of them.

The fun part is figuring out what makes sense for YOUR brand.

If this were your product, which image would you be most likely to use first? The hero, the detail, the lifestyle with a person, or the cozy lifestyle without one?

And if you’re a brand owner thinking about a product session, that’s exactly the kind of thing we can figure out together.

Apparently, I have a talent for looking at perfectly ordinary thrift store objects and immediately thinking, “I could photograph a product with that.”

But honestly, it has become one of my favourite parts of being a product photographer.

A lot of the props you see in my product photography didn’t come from some fancy styling warehouse. They came from thrift stores (99.9% of the time Goodwill Ontario Great Lakes), antique shops, dollar stores, garage sales … basically anywhere I can wander around and think, THAT could be useful!

The fun part is that I’m not necessarily looking for something that makes sense on its own.

I’m looking for texture.
Shape.
Colour.
Interesting little details.
Something that creates a shadow.
Something that adds a bit of movement.
Something that helps tell the story of the product.
Something a little fun and quirky.

And sometimes I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with something when I buy it (I’m looking at you mini vending machine).

But eventually, it ends up on a set.

These are a few of my thrifted finds and the product campaigns they’ve made their way into.

It’s also a good reminder that creative product photography doesn’t have to mean buying a bunch of expensive props. Sometimes the $4 weird little object sitting on a thrift store shelf is exactly what the image needs.

Which one would you have walked right past? Which one would you have grabbed immediately?

And if you’re a brand owner currently looking at your products thinking, I have no idea how I’d photograph these… that’s kind of my favourite problem to solve. Just sayin’ …

Holiday content doesn’t have to mean slapping a Christmas tree beside your product and calling it a day.

The goal is to make your products feel *holiday ready* while still looking like your brand.

That means thinking about colour, lighting, styling, props, composition and the overall feeling you want your customer to get when they see the image.

For this holiday product photography setup, we went a little traditional: rich red, warm gold, crisp white, candlelight and plenty of sparkle.

Because seasonal content should do more than say “IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!”

It should still look like you.

And honestly? Holiday content is something you want to think about before the holiday rush hits. Product photography, social media content, website banners, email marketing, gift guides and seasonal campaigns all need images … and creating those images takes a little more time than most people realize. Truly.

So if holiday sales are part of your marketing plan, now is a very good time to start thinking about what you want your holiday content to look like.

Tell me: are you a traditional red + green Christmas person or do you like your holiday branding a little more unexpected?

09/14/2026

One of my absolute favourite things about this business of mine (aside from the obvious need to thrift shop regularly 🤪), is that I am forever learning new things.

Some days I learn how to craft an Old Fashioned cocktail, some days I learn how skincare products are made and used. And in the case of Warrior Shaman’s House of Magick over the years of working together, I have come to learn SO much about her products and traditions.

Researching and studying the ingredients, production method and intentions of my clients’ products helps me to go above and beyond with their images. Adding in subtle touches by including specific props or set colours/designs helps set their images apart from similar products sold by similar brands.

Extra work on my end? For sure.

But is it worth it? Oh heck yes.

Because the more I understand the story behind a product, the better I can tell that story through the images.

And honestly, getting to learn from the incredible small businesses I work with along the way? That might just be one of the best parts of the job.

Here are a few sneak peek images from my recent session with Warrior Shaman’s House of Magick … can you feel the different intentions and emotions for each product? Which one is YOUR favourite?
