Hiring a brand photographer is about more than just getting beautiful images, it’s about building a creative partnership that helps your business grow and evolve.
Hi, I’m Lucie, a Hamilton-based brand photographer and food stylist. I love creating authentic, impactful photography that tells YOUR story.
With my Photography That Grows With You program, I offer discounted rates for clients booking multiple shoots per year. Whether you need to refresh your menu, launch seasonal campaigns, or keep your social media vibrant, I’m here to support your brand’s ongoing visual journey.
The Power of Consistent, Evolving Photography
Your brand’s story changes with every new product, menu update, and campaign. And your photography should too. Booking regular shoots ensures your visuals stay fresh, relevant, and aligned with your marketing goals.
Clients who work with me long-term appreciate the ease of a trusted partnership, where we develop a shared understanding of style and goals, saving time and delivering consistent results that resonate with their audience.

My approach is collaborative, relaxed, and focused on results. You’ll get imagery designed for your specific channels, from websites and menus to social media and print.
I also love showcasing our images on my socials and here on the website & blog whenever I have a spare moment! It’s a wonderful way to share the stories behind each shoot and celebrate the brands I work with.
