It took me over two years to book this photoshoot, and the wait was worth it.
I just got my gallery back from my session with Laura Manson š¤š¼, and Iām almost speechless, but Iāll do my best to put it into words.
As someone whoās terrified of being in front of the camera, a brand photoshoot was pretty low on my list of priorities. I knew Link Haus needed a refresh, but after searching for over TWO YEARS (yes, really š), I finally found Laura.
I already knew from her work that she was incredibly talented, but what I wasnāt expecting was her process. Weeks before the shoot, we spent over an hour talking about me, my business, and why Link Haus means so much to me. I wanted someone who could capture what permanent jewelry feels like-not just what it looks like-and she understood the assignment to say the least!
Somehow, she translated everything I wanted people to experience into these images and I canāt wait to share the magic she created over the coming months.
A huge thank you to my incredible models shelby lynn rowland, Andrea Lee and her adorable girls, Rebecca H | everline + co and Rachel Ferguson ā¢ Calgary + Okotoks Registered Acupuncturist, and my sister Shawni Tolman | Calgary-based Artist for so generously opening her beautiful home to us.
Xo,
Carly
