I’ve had the pleasure of photographing plenty of coaches over the years, but from the moment I met with Nivienne, I knew her brand was something special. She’s building a unique coaching practice focused on helping clients overcome childhood trauma and understand how trauma impacts the nervous system.

Nivienne’s work touches on deeply personal and serious topics, grounded in her professional expertise — but during our shoot, we also wanted to highlight the many sides of who she is. We showcased her as the authoritative, trained professional while also celebrating her interests in nutrition and wellness, as well as her background as a yoga practitioner.

To add a lighter, more personal touch, we incorporated some fun celebratory images that she can share with clients when they hit important milestones. We debated between confetti, champagne, or something else entirely — but in the end, balloons were the perfect choice to convey a sense of joy and accomplishment in a simple, elegant way.

The White Loft at Mint Room Studios made the ideal backdrop for this session. Its bright, airy space offered a perfect balance of professionalism and warmth — from cozy corners for “working” lifestyle images to open floor space where we captured yoga poses, casual portraits, and everything in between.
