Nestled in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, I recently had the pleasure of working with Maria and her company MariaLa, a talented jewelry artist based in Canmore. Stunning portrait and product photography was the assignment. The series was designed to showcase her floral jewelry in an authentic and natural setting — to display the essence of spring, the backdrops were an aspen grove surrounded by the towering pines, a river with a distant green shoreline, and local spring blossoms. photographing the portraits and product shots here allowed sunlight to filter gently through the foliage, casting a soft, sparkling ethereal glow over the photographs. The beautiful natural colours and light provided depth and contrast, bringing out the intricate details of Maria's jewelry. The serene, peaceful atmosphere in the forest set the perfect tone, allowing us to display her jewelry in a way that felt both intimate and connected to the natural world.
As a photographer serving both Canmore and Calgary, I understand how important it is for local brands to have images that tell a story, reflect their identity, and connect with their audience. Maria’s exquisite jewelry, made from resin and flowers, is the perfect example of how products can be beautifully integrated with nature’s raw beauty. The shoot aimed to blend her unique creations with the vibrant spring foliage, creating timeless, classic imagery that would stand out in both web and print marketing materials.
Maria’s jewelry is more than just an accessory; it’s a piece of art that reflects her deep connection with nature. As we moved through the forest, her graceful movements complemented the beauty of the surroundings, while her designs seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural elements. The delicate pendants with petals suspended in resin were brought to life by the soft light of the Rockies, highlighting their intricate craftsmanship.
This shoot was a true collaboration between Maria's artistry and the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies. It reminded me that local brands and products can make an incredible impact when their visuals reflect the values and essence of the natural environment around them. Whether you’re a local jewelry brand, a small business in Canmore or Calgary, or a product company looking to showcase your designs in a way that connects with your audience, professional photography can help bring your vision to life.
