October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want to help share your story. 💗

Voices of Strength is a portrait and storytelling project created to celebrate the women behind the diagnosis.

It’s about:
✨ Creating a supportive community
✨ Seeing yourself in a different light
✨ Sharing the realities of treatment, challenges and recovery
✨ Talking openly about stigma and the things people don’t always see
✨ Creating awareness and, hopefully, helping another woman feel a little less alone

We know sharing something this personal isn’t for everyone. And we know it isn’t always easy.

But if you feel like this is for you, we would love to hear your story.

We still have space for 2–3 more women to be part of Voices of Strength.

If you’d like to learn more or take part, please reach out.

Your story matters. Your strength matters. And someone may need to hear it.

She didn't just get 5 great photos, she got 5 different ways to show up....
Here's how she can use them.
Website homepage – create an immediate sense of connection and trust
About Me page – show the person behind the practice
Professional bio – use alongside speaking, networking, or professional profiles
Social media profile photo – Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business, etc.
Social media posts – have multiple images so every post doesn’t look the same
Educational posts – pair her image with counselling tips, advice, or information
Blog posts – add a professional, personal touch to articles
Email marketing – introduce herself or connect with clients through newsletters
Email signature – a polished way to put a face to her name
Google Business Profile – help potential clients recognize and connect with her
Business cards – especially useful for a more personal, relationship-focused profession
Brochures and promotional materials – create consistency across her marketing
Speaking engagements – use different images for speaker bios and event promotions
Media features or interviews – have a professional image ready when someone requests one
Directory listings – professional counselling or industry directories
Online booking/profile platforms – anywhere prospective clients are deciding whether to reach out
Community/networking introductions – use a different image when introducing herself to new audiences
Future marketing campaigns – having multiple images means she can continue creating content without needing another session every time

And so much more!!

HOSTING A SPEAKING EVENT?
**Your speakers are part of your event’s brand. Their images should be, too.**

Speaker photography is about more than capturing someone on stage. It’s about creating powerful, professional images that showcase their **confidence, expertise and presence** — while giving them content they can use long after the event.

Think polished portraits, powerful speaking moments, candid connections and images that elevate both the **speaker’s personal brand and your event’s visual presence.**

Because when your speakers look incredible, **your event looks incredible, too.**

📸 Great events deserve photography that keeps working long after the lights go down.

There’s something powerful about seeing yourself the way others already see you.

As business owners, we spend so much time behind the scenes... creating, solving problems, serving our clients, building our businesses, and making things happen.

But sometimes we forget to pause and recognize the woman who is doing all of it.

Professional photos aren’t just about having a great headshot. They’re about showing up with intention. Being prepared. Taking up space. And giving your business a visual representation that reflects the confidence, creativity, and expertise you bring to the table every single day.

And sometimes, the most beautiful images come from simply giving yourself permission to be seen.

I absolutely loved photographing this incredible creative business owner and friend. ❤️

She’s talented, passionate, creative, and so much more powerful than she probably gives herself credit for.

The camera just gave us a chance to capture it.

**Your brand deserves to look as strong as the business you’ve worked so hard to build.**

What can I say... I am very passionate about what I do ;)

I am so excited to be working with Kimberley from this month on a project to create awareness for Breast Cancer. We all know someone in our lives who has been affected by this, and creating awareness means someone doesn't feel alone, it creates community, and helps to change the stigmas around the diagnosis. We want women to be aware that, it can happen to you, but also that you can get through it. WE WANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY... to help others.

So, if you want to be part of our project (happening on Sept 13th) give me a shout. If you want to share your story, we will listen, you will also get a photograph of yourself - because - well.... the disease doesn't define who you are. We want to show your strength.

DM me if you are interested... we have only a couple last minute spots available.

It is fall and the BEST time for family photos. These can be fun, serious, cheesy or whatever you want them to be. ❤

There’s something I absolutely LOVE about working with brands. ❤️

It’s not just about creating beautiful photos. I get to meet the people behind the business, interact with their employees, learn how they work, and hear about the ways they serve their clients.

Every company is different. Every team has its own personality, energy, and essence. I get a front-row seat to it all.

I learn SO much from the people I photograph.

Working with small businesses has given me an even deeper appreciation for the owners, entrepreneurs and incredible people working behind the scenes to make their businesses successful.

These sessions aren’t just about me creating images for them. They’re about relationships, connection, learning from one another and lifting each other up.

That’s one of my favourite parts of this job. I get to walk into a business as their photographer and often walk away feeling like I’ve made new friends, learned something valuable and gained a whole new appreciation for what they do.

This is why I love branding photography. The photos are important—but the people behind them are what make it so much fun. ❤️

Stacey Tompkins Photography will still be here - but I i've been working hard behind the scenes to rebrand one side of my business. Check it out

A New Name. The Same Heart.

Back in May, I made a strategic change that had been years in the making. I moved my sports, school, dance and child portrait work from Stacey Tompkins Photography into something created specifically for it: Steps Photo Company.

Why? Because the work is different. The workflow is different. The systems, products and service I’ve built for clubs, schools and families are completely different from the branding and portrait work I do through Stacey Tompkins Photography.

For years, I’ve been learning, building systems, testing products and finding software that could make school and sports photography easier for clubs, coaches, parents—and for me. And I finally reached the point where I had everything I needed to build this into something really special.

So to all the parents and clubs who have supported me through Stacey Tompkins Photography over the years: thank you. ❤️

It’s still me behind Steps Photo Co. And while I hope to eventually grow the company and have others join me, the heart of what I do will always remain the same:

To create beautiful memories of kids doing what they love—and to treat every child with kindness, patience and understanding of their age, their stage and their sport.

Because every parent deserves beautiful portraits of their child doing what they love.
