As a branding photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing the essence and heart behind a business venture. Recently, I had the pleasure of shooting a branding photo session for The Flower Box, a charming flower shop in Kingston, Washington, owned by the talented ladies of Bixby + Pine.
Branding photo sessions are always a delight, but they become even more special when you get to photograph friends. The dynamic trio behind The Flower Box, who have been close friends of mine for a long time, decided to embark on a new adventure by opening a flower shop in Kingston. Celebrating their journey through a branding session felt like capturing a piece of their hearts, and it was really fun to be a part of their new venture.
Behind every business lies a meaningful story, and The Flower Box is no exception. The shop’s former owner, Shannon Castillo, recently passed away, leaving behind a beloved flower shop known as Thistle Floral & Home, which was a staple in the town. As the Bixby + Pine girls have deep roots in Kingston and a shared passion for florals, they took over the shop, preserving the memory of Shannon and her love for flowers.
Branding sessions with sentimental aspects add a layer of authenticity and connection, allowing clients to see not just what a business does but also who they are. The Flower Box is more than just a flower shop; it’s a tribute to Shannon’s legacy and a manifestation of the girls’ lifelong dream.
Branding sessions are a powerful tool for businesses of all sizes, whether they are new ventures or established enterprises. Clients want to see the faces and hearts behind the businesses they support, and branding sessions provide a window into the passion and dedication driving the company.
By showcasing not only the products or services but also the personalities and values of the business owners, branding sessions create a genuine and lasting connection with customers. They allow entrepreneurs to tell their unique stories, forging an emotional bond that goes beyond transactions.
As a branding photographer, I am honored to be a part of businesses’ journeys and to capture the heart and soul behind their ventures. The Flower Box is a beautiful testament to the power of branding sessions, where cherished memories and heartfelt stories blend to create a business that radiates authenticity and love.
