Mariel Nelms Photographer

My incredible client and friend - the one and only designer extraordinare @kelsey.weigl - has just launched her online shop today! Her gorgeous and totally unique and totally Kelsey patterns are printed onto the cutest silk scarves you ever did see. I’ve been wearing mine pretty much non stop and I swear I’ve never felt cooler. Kelsey is based in Edmonton and ships anywhere! Get one!!! - -... - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography #kelseyweigl See more

So excited to be working with @coachingwithtiff again, in a whole new way. I can attest to her skills in coaching and career support first hand, as this remarkable human was my HR contact at my last corporate job (almost 5 years ago now!) and was by far the most helpful and skilled HR colleague I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She was truly born to do this! Very excited to now be creating imagery for Tiff and her newest venture, this first shoot was so much fun! - ... - - #vancouverexecutivecoaching #coachingwithtiff #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography #vancouverportraitphotographer #vancouverheadshotphotographer #vancouverheadshots See more

Event and branding photography shot with @milkcomms for @athleta - who just opened their very first Canadian store at Park Royal Mall. Beautiful store, and even more beautiful team (from both Athleta/Gap and Milk Creative Communications) who worked so hard to bring this vision and event to life! ... #vancouverportraitphotographer #vancouverheadshotphotographer #vancouverheadshots #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #marielnelmsphotography #vancouverfemalephotographer #vancouvercommercialphotographer #vancouvereditorialphotographer #vancouvereventphotography #vancouvereventphotographer See more

I’m back! I’ve been working steadily with so many incredible clients who’ve managed to find me and my work despite my long (long) break from social media, and am finally here to share some of that work with the Instagram world. Here’s the infectiously awesome @kelsey.weigl - photographed at her home for her new website. Oh yeah, and I had a baby! Currently working while he naps nearby. #vancouverportraitphotographer #vancouverheadshotphotographer #vancouverheadshots #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #marielnelmsphotography #vancouverfemalephotographer #vancouvercommercialphotographer #vancouvereditorialphotographer

Had so much fun photographing @whitedeer.ca candles last week! Such a creative and colourful project that brightened up a rainy week (and made our house smell amazing)! These are locally made and are honestly the best smelling, cleanest burning candles I’ve had. You must check @whitedeer.ca out!! - - ... - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography See more

Keeping cozy with @purebonebroth. Creative lifestyle product photography for Bluebird Provisions. - -... - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography See more

A super simple, and delicious recipe I developed for my shoot with @purebonebroth! I sautéed onion, garlic, ginger, sweet potato, carrot and some sage in butter until softened, then added enough @purebonebroth chicken bone broth to cover all the veggies and finish cooking. After about 30 minutes I added salt and pepper and then puréed the soup with my immersion blender and topped it with some coconut cream and pumpkin seeds! Super creamy and delicious! - ... - - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography See more

One of my favourite personal branding/headshot sessions to date! I had the pleasure of working with this amazing human back in my Hootsuite days, and creating new headshots/professional portraits for her to use in her new role was SO fun. Starting a new job working from home is so interesting in the sense that it’s that much harder for people to get to know and connect with you as a new employee over a screen. I am sure these photos will help, as Tova’s warm, professional and... super fun personality is hard to ignore! - - - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #vancouverheadshots #vancouverheadshotphotographer #vancouverportraitphotographer #vancouverpersonalbrandingphotographer #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography

Hello! I’m taking a break from editing to share this photo of myself that my talented and generous husband @bennelms took. This photo embodies exactly why I love to create portraits for my clients that they love and are proud to show off - because I too know how good it feels to have images of yourself that truly look and feel like you, and that you’re excited about! And when you’ve got those ready to go on your hard drive, you are SO much more likely to get your own face out... there - which is truly the easiest way for people to get to know you (and like you, and trust you)! Which really, is what marketing yourself or your business is all about. I love Squarespace’s slogan a website makes it real, but honestly - professional photos that you’re JAZZED about make it real too. So, what are you waiting for?! - - - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography

I am a seasonal tea drinker. I don’t touch my teapot until the weather starts to turn and then it becomes my most used kitchen item! I almost exclusively drink herbal teas, and anything with chai, warm spices or chamomile are my favourites. What is your favourite variety? I’ll admit my collection of tea is a little bit boring! This gorgeous mug from @sarahpikepottery that we received as a wedding gift is anything but boring, however. - - ... - #vancouverproductphotographer #lifestyleproductphotography #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator #marielnelms #vancouverfreelancephotographer #marielnelmsphotography See more

I love this little detail from Holly’s home studio setup that allows her students to hear her loud and clear as she works out along with them (virtually). What are some tools you use daily now, that never used to be a part of your work routine? #vancouverportraitphotographer #vancouverheadshotphotographer #vancouverheadshots #lifestylebrandingphotography #personalbrandingportraits #vancouverbranding #vancouverphotographer #ladiesbehindthelens #lblcollective #vancouverbrandingphotographer #vancouvercontentcreator
