Over the past 3 years of running my photography business, I’ve worked with a lot of other business owners in Toronto. I had the opportunity to shoot some lifestyle product photography for La Ceiba Botanical Skincare. This company is a one-woman show. She develops the products, packages them and markets them on her own.

The first step in working together is the pre-production stage, aka planning. I make sure we create a shoot brief, which includes the concept, a shot list, prop list and mood board. This ensures that we have a game plan to maximize our time and to get all the shots needed.

Here are some of my favourite images from our shoot:
