Just a little taste ✨ Our new brand, website, and offerings launch September 1st. WE’RE NOT FREAKING OUT, YOU’RE FREAKING OUT.Just a little taste ✨ Our new brand, website, and offerings launch September 1st. WE’RE NOT FREAKING OUT, YOU’RE FREAKING OUT.

Yesterday we asked our challenge crew to share 3 larger-than-life goals for their business on video — but, interestingly most people listed at least one goal that was more “life,” than work. Sometimes we beat ourselves up for how intertwined our work + personal lives are — but this was a juicy reminder that we’re not doing it *wrong.* ⠀ ✨Business and pleasure CAN intersect. ⠀ ✨You can LIVE while also working, when it’s something that you love. ⠀ ✨When you start dreaming big for your business, a big, bold, LIFE is sure to follow. ⠀ ✨Your brand isn’t just here to sustain you, it’s here to INSPIRE you. ⠀ We had to pick 3 goals, but one we didn’t mention was this: ⠀ To be a catalyst in helping a client reach THEIR big, unspeakable goal. Be the people who helped inspire you stop second guessing. To write the book. Take the trip. DO THE THING. Never look back. ⠀ Drop a ⚡️ in the comments if just reading that made you feel a little more ALIVE. ⠀ Keep dreamingggg, sweet friends. ⠀Yesterday we asked our challenge crew to share 3 larger-than-life goals for their business on video — but, interestingly most people listed at least one goal that was more “life,” than work.

IT’S OKAY TO APOLOGIZE IN BUSINESS. ⠀ (It’s not okay to ghost). (It’s not okay to lie). ⠀ But it is NECESSARY to learn how to approach missteps with honesty and self-awareness. ⠀ We’re all humans doing this life together. ⠀ When we shift the way we deal with our shame around: ⠀ • Needing rest • Forgetting things • Saying sorry ⠀ ...it makes the whole thing a little easier on all of us. ⠀ Swipe for a few ways we’ve learned to acknowledge mistakes authentically to turn an uncomfortable conversation into an opportunity for growth. ⠀ Happy Mondayyyy. ⠀ ✨IT’S OKAY TO APOLOGIZE IN BUSINESS. ⠀ (It’s not okay to ghost).

You may not know this about Frank — but he’s the bravest dude I know. ⠀ His birthday always seems to remind me of that. ⠀ We met a few weeks before Frank’s 30th — and way back then, he was amidst making some really, really scary decisions to shift his life ENTIRELY. ⠀ Leading up to + during his 30th year, Frank left a marriage, sold a house, and quit a dream job... taking a leap of real heckin’ FAITH into the life we’ve built together. ⠀ Happy birthday, dream boy. May 33 bring you all of the magic you so deserve. ⠀ To many, many more. ⠀ ✨You may not know this about Frank — but he’s the bravest dude I know. ⠀ His birthday always seems to remind me of that. ⠀ We met a few weeks before Frank’s 30th — and way back then, he was amidst making some really, really scary decisions to shift his life ENTIRELY. ⠀ Leading up to + during his 30th year, Frank left a marriage, sold a house, and quit a dream job... taking a leap of real heckin’ FAITH into the life we’ve built together. ⠀ Happy birthday, dream boy.

WE BREAK // WE REBUILD. At the start of the pandemic, we opened up our books to new (or pivoting) businesses with a mini-brand offering to help our community thrive amidst uncertainty. ⠀ Although condensed compared to our usual brand experiences, some of the most rewarding stories and creations have been born from them. ⠀ This one, created for @shattered.glassbyjess, is one of the last of these projects. Designed to emulate one of her own pieces of art — shattered glass turned soft and flowing, put together lovingly into something stronger than it was before. ⠀ And, aren’t we all? ⠀ ✨ ⠀WE BREAK // WE REBUILD.

Bye bye, BIY! This digital resource is officially RETIRING at the end of next week. Seeing the way it helped you take your first branding steps was a beautiful thing — BUT... There’s a “but.” ⠀ It just doesn’t feel aligned with where Oh Sierra is headed next. ⠀ The cool thing about owning a business? ⠀ You get to decide whether something is serving you, and you get to decide when to let that shit gooo. ⠀ As we finalize our new list of offerings — they’re all about brand experiences that are hands-on, intimate, and empowering — we realize there’s just no more room for things that don’t LIGHT US UP. ⠀ Link in bio to GET-IT-BEFORE-IT’S-GONE, but this caption comes with a question for you, too: ⠀ What would you let go of tomorrow if you stopped worrying about what everyone else was doing and started focusing on what lights YOU up? ⠀ ✨Bye bye, BIY!

We’ve been working with @haylscontent.co throughout the summer to bring her brand to life online through an EFFING STUNNING @showit website in the works, and this sweet pricing + process guide — we’ve always loved working with Hayley, and have felt so aligned with her spirit and talent. ⠀ SOOOO, you can imagine how EXCITED we are to share that she’s officially joined the Oh Sierra family as another member of our photography team, leaving our Toronto-area clients in very talented hands for when we fly South to pursue our beachy dreams. ⠀ Fellow creatives — we’ve gotten a lot of questions about the process of expanding our team and outsourcing, and we’d LOVE to share more. ⠀ What do you want to learn?! ⠀ Let us know in the comments, or DM us anytime to chat. ✨ ⠀ — ⠀ (We’ve realized we’ve been sharing a LOT about photography lately — because our brand + website packages are undergoing a major upgrade — we’ll be sharing more about THAAAAT so soon). ⠀ HAPPY WEDNESDAYYYY.We’ve been working with @haylscontent.co throughout the summer to bring her brand to life online through an EFFING STUNNING @showit website in the works, and this sweet pricing + process guide — we’ve always loved working with Hayley, and have felt so aligned with her spirit and talent. ⠀ SOOOO, you can imagine how EXCITED we are to share that she’s officially joined the Oh Sierra family as another member of our photography team, leaving our Toronto-area clients in very talented hands for when we fly South to pursue our beachy dreams. ⠀ Fellow creatives — we’ve gotten a lot of questions about the process of expanding our team and outsourcing, and we’d LOVE to share more. ⠀ What do you want to learn?! ⠀ Let us know in the comments, or DM us anytime to chat. ✨ ⠀ — ⠀ (We’ve realized we’ve been sharing a LOT about photography lately — because our brand + website packages are undergoing a major upgrade — we’ll be sharing more about THAAAAT so soon). ⠀ HAPPY WEDNESDAYYYY.

What’s your definition of living in alignment with your purpose? ⠀ For us, it means: ⠀ CONNECTION. To what we do and who we do it with. ⠀ FREEDOM. To think + feel + act within our business in a way we can stand behind with all that we are. ⠀ KNOWING. That we’re in the right place, on the right path, exactly where we belong, even when it feels hard or scary. ⠀ PATIENCE. In recognizing that wildest dreams don’t come true overnight but that’s no reason not to keep pursuing them. ⠀ (It also includes picking up and moving towards the dang beach, that’s for sure). ⠀ What’s your relationship with your purpose? Do you feel clear on your why? Do you feel confident that you’re living in the direction of where you belong? ⠀ We believe that your brand should feel deeply aligned with your LIFE. We believe in collaborating with people who GET THAT. ⠀ Join us @ 5PM EST with @ayceebrown for a live chat allll about purpose, or tune into the replay on our IGTV! ⠀ ✨What’s your definition of living in alignment with your purpose? ⠀ For us, it means: ⠀ CONNECTION.

WE’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND WE’LL SAY IT AGAIN! ⠀ Consistency builds trust. Trust builds connection. Connection fuels brands that will stand the test of time. ⠀ We’re living in a world where people understand aesthetic at face value — a pretty grid makes you want to stick around and lurk a while. ⠀ BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. Thoughtful brand photography, planned + styled with the audience in mind, makes you want to stick around *and probably, eventually, invest in something, because consistency also says QUALITY.* ⠀ Anyway, you watch our faces share about this IN REAL TIME tonight, 9PM EST on @untamed.artistry’s MATCHA MONDAY. ⠀ So pumped to answer all your photography questions, from lighting, editing, planning, styling, and beyonddddd. ⠀ YOU — yes YOUUUU — already have all the tools you need to start showing up for your community in a way that builds lasting connection. ⠀ See you later?! ⠀ ✨WE’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND WE’LL SAY IT AGAIN! ⠀ Consistency builds trust.

Last week we asked what YOU wanted to learn most about photography — and the questions that came back reminded us how much we wished for open, honest resources when we were first getting started. ⠀ AND SO, THIS BLOG POST IS FOR YOU — it’s a quick, 5-ish minute read, but ACTION PACKED with some seemingly simple tips that will help you gain a lot more confidence if you’re DIY-ing your brand’s content. ⠀ MAJOR shout out to @theitbags, our muse for the photos that accompany this post, and our absolute favourite go-anywhere-looking-chic camera bag. YES, THAT’S A CAMERA BAG. ⠀ — Link in bio! ⠀ ✨Last week we asked what YOU wanted to learn most about photography — and the questions that came back reminded us how much we wished for open, honest resources when we were first getting started. ⠀ AND SO, THIS BLOG POST IS FOR YOU — it’s a quick, 5-ish minute read, but ACTION PACKED with some seemingly simple tips that will help you gain a lot more confidence if you’re DIY-ing your brand’s content. ⠀ MAJOR shout out to @theitbags, our muse for the photos that accompany this post, and our absolute favourite go-anywhere-looking-chic camera bag.
