Excited to share that the Motif Photography Studio website is officially live

To celebrate (and to do this properly), I’m inviting my community to be part of the launch in a practical way.

For the month of February, you can book a professional headshot at 50% off.

Here’s the deal:
You book through the new website, experience the process, and share your honest feedback after. Your insight helps me refine the platform and you get a premium headshot at half the price. Win-win, I’d say.

Employers and team leads: this applies to corporate headshots for your staff as well.

If you’ve been meaning to update your LinkedIn photo, personal brand, or company profiles, this is your sign.

—-Book now using the link in this post (spaces are limited).
Let’s upgrade your image and build something better together.

A chance to sit with, chat with, and create new brand photos for Dr Ify McKerlie is one of those moments that reminds me why I deeply admire her and the work she does as a community leader.

A Principal Radiologist, Breast Imager, Podcast Host (The Illuminated Dark Room: conversations on breast health and beyond ) a certified personal trainer who also teaches spin classes, Dr Ify is an absolute joooooy!

Please join us to celebrate this radiant soul, a true community leader who never stops shining!

Adedoyin Omotara is like that friend who shows up with a smile and a toolkit ready to fix anything! From the moment I stepped into the entrepreneurial world in Canada, she’s been one of my biggest cheerleader, giving me the confidence to tackle challenges and push my business forward.

A rare combo of being super lighthearted and having an energy that’s absolutely contagious. A thoroughbred community leader. She’s a non-stop hard worker who just doesn’t know how to give up (and I’m convinced she has a secret battery that never runs out!).

A powerhouse and inspiration in the world of beauty and empowerment. As the founder and CEO of Adoniaa Beauty, she has dedicated herself to helping women feel confident and radiant in their own skin.

No, it’s not just about beauty products; she focuses on building a community where women can embrace their true selves, celebrate their uniqueness, and shine inside and out. She’s a speaker, a mentor, and a beacon of empowerment who continues to encourage women to live authentically and boldly.

A Beacon Across Borders:

You know her. You love her. I am happy to call her Mum these days.
Today, we celebrate a woman whose impact knows no bounds,
Abike Kafayat Oluwatoyin Dabiri-Erewa, a bridge between continents, lifting voices profound.
From home to abroad, she lights paths for others to soar,
Championing dreams, breaking barriers, and opening doors.

A leader, a visionary, a mother, with compassion in her stride,
She carries her people’s hopes, far and wide.
For the diaspora, she’s a lighthouse, unwavering and true,
A symbol of grace, resilience, and vision anew.

Happy belated Birthday, ma!

Thank you for visiting the studio last week. To cheer us To Support us.
Love Love Love

Please celebrate with me greatness personified, Lanre Ajayi.

🎵

Lanre Ajayi! My friend, my mentor, my egbon.
Popularly referred to as Calgary first born.
A pacesetter. Mr Ethnik Festival.

Nigerian artist and fashion designer currently based in Calgary whose artistic journey combines painting and fashion, a tip top community leader and visionary soul.

Everyone who’s met this gem can easily testify of his almost extreme positivity!

Do you know he’s an excellent graphic designer?

A selfless bridge and community curator, Mr Lanre as I fondly refer to him, has been involved in a number of significant projects, from art exhibitions, fashion shows, international festivals and loads loads more.

Even a lion takes a moment to reflect before the hunt.
Took a pause for a self-portrait. Sometimes, it’s good to reflect and appreciate the journey before the next big

Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it.

Every day is a lesson.
What’s one thing you’ve learned this week?
Friends, share some knowledge!

What’s on my mind? Well, thanks for asking!

Remember when 'following your passion' was just a cute Instagram quote?

Now it’s the life I chose, and I’ve learned that passion without community is just noise.

Today, I'm thinking about how important it is to create spaces for Black creatives in Calgary—spaces where our art speaks, our stories thrive, and our businesses grow.

So, here’s to chasing dreams AND building bridges, because we all know solo success is overrated.

Let’s support each other, celebrate each other, and, if you’re in the visual arts game like me, let’s make some magic together.

Tag a creative you love, and let’s spread the love!

Celebrating the incredible Mrs. Eugenia Ogundare, aka Olori Ogundare!

As the creative force behind The Cake Aisle and Eleora Beauty, she’s turned ChinChin into a gourmet sensation from Lagos to Calgary.

But her impact goes beyond business—Olori Ogundare is a true community hero, passionately supporting the sickle cell community on both sides of the globe.

Her warmth, humor, and dedication make her a beloved figure everywhere she goes. Whether she’s innovating in the kitchen, uplifting women with her beauty products, or sharing a laugh, Olori’s light shines bright.
