A TASTE OF WHAT WE DO

  • toronto personal branding photographer
  • personal branding photography toronto minimalist branding

Think about why you love the people in your life – is it because of how they present on paper? Of course not. You love people for the way they make you feel.

This is also why WELL BUILT BRANDS become beloved, because they are more than nice design put together in a technically sound way. Beloved brands have an emotional intelligence that connects – they throw away ‘should’ and embrace elements that make them unique, memorable and relatable.

GOOSEBERRY will create your signature style, activate a compelling voice and strategically craft every facet of your brand to ensure that you’re not only seen and heard,
but adored as well.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
ABOUT LAURA

Laura believes in messy hair, red lipstick and puppy kisses. She can usually be found guzzling tea (Earl Grey of course), dancing around the studio, running around after her two fur monsters, biking, baking and sipping rye and gingers with loved ones.

Before creating Gooseberry Studios, Laura worked as a multi-brand Web Editor for Canadian Living, Style at Home and ELLE Canada. She also worked for many years as an Editorial Coordinator for various print magazines, building entire publications from scratch and managing the content as titles became available nationwide.

An avid artist at heart, Laura builds brands of all shapes and sizes — from products, to publications, to personal service based practices — bringing her unique eye and strategic sensibilities to change the marketplace game for her clients.

She is also the creator of PAWSH Magazine, the artist behind Gooseberry Prints and the founder of the photography non-profit program, Lovey Mine.

Something NEW just for YOU is coming SOON. (I know Something NEW just for YOU is coming SOON. (I know, could I be any more vague?) 

It's something unexpected, yet also almost full circle for me. It's something that I've been talking about and debating for ages. It's something that continues to volley my heart between excitement and nervousness. It's something intended to help support your own creative pursuits and dreams if you feel like coming along for the ride.

More to come. Until then, just this annoying caption. ♡

Nosy question: if you're married, what did you LOV Nosy question: if you're married, what did you LOVE about your wedding day and what do you WISH you'd done differently?

Styled Bridal Shoots are something I've been thinking about offering for 2+ years now after hearing SO many couples tell me they wished they could have the look and feel of a fancy celebration without the cost or stress of throwing a big wedding. I've heard so many others say that a lot of the standard wedding traditions - garter toss, first dances, cutting the cake, standing up in front of a large group of people etc -- just aren't their style and they wished it could all be simpler. 

So after a lot of mulling, I've decided that in 2021Gooseberry will also be offering romantic adventures for two. I'm turning my camera to more intimate occasions, to a new kind of wedding experience that is styled, yet down to earth. Simple, profound, poetic, and personal. This concept won't be everybody's cup of tea, but for those that it resonates with it'll be absolutely magical! ♡

Little Goose and I pondering what to do with our s Little Goose and I pondering what to do with our soon-to-be time off. 

So far we're thinking baking, biking (indoors), sipping cocktails, painting (something I have been trying to do more of all year without success), writing (a true deep passion that I reconnected with this year), wintery walks in the woods, classic movie line up, editing the closet (I swear, this is fun for me!), hot chocolate, lounging about and making new traditions. 

If you feel like sharing, we would love to hear what your plans are! For real, because we'll be at home all holiday long and will likely need extra ideas! ♡

Question: do you hang your own artwork in your hom Question: do you hang your own artwork in your home?

I confess that I do, from travel photos to prints. And for a long time I felt a bit weird about it, like it was egotistical or something. 

But then I realized that everything I create for @gooseberryprints comes from a sentimental place. This piece, for example, from the @embiria x GBP "PAUSE" Capsule Collection features my personal favourite body of water in the whole world. #LINKINBIO

The hope in creating it was that hanging this piece in your home would feel like installing a window with an instant waterfront view. To keep the beloved lake in your life (or dreams) close to your heart forever and always.

Anyway, I digress. The point of this post -- I'm curious, how do you choose the art that hangs in your home? Is it yours or by someone else? Do you curate your art? Collect or not bother? Let me know if you feel like sharing ♡

Can I share something that might be a little contr Can I share something that might be a little controversial with you?

I am so tired of saying, reading, writing #LINKINBIO. (Please tell me I'm not alone?) At this point don't we all know where the one URL on this platform lives?

I miss human to human conversation. I miss sharing without the pressure to direct people to a link. I miss creating for fun on this platform vs for an elusive algorithm. 

If you do too, maybe you'd like to join Gooseberry's Monthly Letters Subscription? It's free. It's fun. It's something different. It's low key and it's no pressure. It's a once a month chat that happens beyond Instagram. 

If you'd like to join us there, guess where the sign up form is?
