"Dianne captured and delivered our updated headshots in record time and was super easy to work, with making it a stress-free experience for me. The final result was high quality and has been used all over Southwestern Ontario on signs, billboards, social media, trailers, and more. We couldn't ask for better images; thank you, Bert & Dianne!"

"We were so lucky to work with such a professional photography team. We were kept up to date on our gallery process, with the gallery being delivered before the expected date. As small business owners we were concerned about the style and content to include in our website and social media, but with these amazing pictures, our worries are gone. Velthove and Co. is outstanding with their attention to every detail, incredible communication skills paired with their artistic design. They went above and beyond!! Much thanks from Martha and Lillian."

We believe the majority of our work for you is done before the big day of our shoot. Let us explain:

and why we believe in us
When we start your process, our first focus is to understand the use of your photos. If you are an Instagram based business, this will look very different than if you owned a large corporation that needs headshots for business cards, simple imagery for websites, detail photos for social media, and specific photos for important campaigns. It will affect not only the amount of specific types of photos but also some less noticeable details such as orientation and negative space; things that take your photos from good to GREAT!
why should you believe in us?
It is OUR job to know what you need, especially if you're unsure (maybe this is your first time to invest in photography). We take away the question marks and uncertainty and replace that with a confidence that the money you spend will set yourself up for big growth and success!

Who we are...
We're so grateful to have not just 5 years of experience photographing brands, but also twelve years of working with packed schedules and varying personalities; it has prepared us for working with YOU!
First and foremost, we are a team. Not just as photographers, but as husband and wife, and even better: PARENTS! With six children aged 12 and under (one of them still being in-utero), pressure is part of the game and coordinating multiple facets is second-nature to us.

Having met Sarah at a local social media class, Dianne and her immediately hit it off. Within weeks, we were working together on several collaborations! Somewhere in the middle of that, we were blessed with the opportunity to photograph this shoot, mainly for content creation.

We've known Lillian and Martha separately for quite a few years, but when we learned that they were joining forces to open a health food store in Dorchester, we were very excited! The shared wisdom between these two women make The Bitter Herb a phenomenal addition to the landscape in Southwestern Ontario. Martha's passion for bitters and Lillian's in-depth knowledge on homeopathics means that they should be a first stop for anyone trying to transform their health. We were thrilled when we had the opportunity to work with this duo, and focused our attention mainly on capturing photos for their website and social media, while adding some content photos so they are better able to educate their followers.
