Amanda from SnowyBerry reached out via Instagram message and needed photos- fast. Her business won two Denali awards in Best of Alaska Business 2023 and needed to submit images to the magazine with a quickly approaching deadline.
Luckily we were able to build a custom package within Amanda’s budget that included expedited editing and get her branding images delivered in time!
Since we were on a tight schedule there wasn’t much time for planning, but we both brought a selection of props to her kiosk location at Midtown Mall and made some magic.
We shot a few different scenes for variety in her gallery- the mall entryway for more naturally lit head shots, her kiosk, and an old juice stand nearby that we made to look like a bakery with creative angles.
Amanda and her daughter were so sweet and fun to work with! We could have kept shooting all day, but there was editing to get to- and fast. Typically the editing process takes about two weeks, but we were able to deliver Amanda’s digital in three days!
After the standard editing process (see Editing: What to Expect for a behind-the-scenes look at the process) there were a few images that needed a little extra work.
The majority of what needed to be done was cleaning up unsightly outlets, mall signs, and other random background distractions in our makeshift bakery.
Amanda also wanted a shot of her spraying edible glitter onto the cupcakes, but unfortunately the bottle was running out and we couldn’t get a good spray. You can see in the before that we did get a few sparkles in camera, and the rest were added with Photoshop. ✨

Exciting Update!
SnowyBerry is still located in Midtown Mall, but no longer a kiosk! SnowyBerry Cafe opened in 2023, serving all of her delicious treats and now sandwiches & drinks, too! We were there to share the excitement and document the grand opening, you can see more here: [blog post coming soon!]
We love to watch local businesses grow and its always an honor to document their journeys. While her business is moving on to bigger and better things, Amanda will always have these images to look back on with pride and remember how far she has come since her first branding session at the kiosk!
