A soulful, earthy identity for a photographer capturing life as it unfolds
When Colette Rochelle Photography approached me for a full brand identity, I knew this wasn’t just about crafting a beautiful logo. It was about translating the raw beauty of real life into a visual language—something that would reflect her unique style of storytelling through imagery.
Colette’s tagline says it all:
“Real life, naturally captured.”
Her photography is tender, heartfelt, and effortlessly natural—full of quiet moments and golden light. The goal was to create a brand identity that felt the same.
The primary logo uses an organic serif typeface that feels both timeless and grounded. Its slightly earthy character nods to Colette’s appreciation for nostalgia and real, unfiltered moments. Alongside the type, we included a hand-drawn floral illustration—soft, organic, and symbolic of growth, authenticity, and real, unfiltered life.
The secondary mark, a circular emblem, gives the brand flexibility across social platforms, packaging, and watermarking. It features the same florals surrounded by the words:
“Colette Rochelle Photography — Real Life, Naturally Captured”
The emblem acts almost like a seal of sincerity—perfect for use on client materials or as a subtle brand stamp on photo galleries.
The color palette is a warm, earthy blend of clay reds, soft greens and blues, and creamy neutrals. These tones were chosen to reflect the natural environments Colette often shoots in—fields, forests, golden hour—and to evoke feelings of comfort, timelessness, and connection.
These hues pair beautifully with natural light photography and help the brand feel consistent across touchpoints.
The final brand suite includes:
The result? A cohesive, heartfelt identity that feels completely aligned with Colette’s mission and voice. It’s simple, warm, and memorable—just like the moments she captures.
Designing this brand was a beautiful reminder of how powerful intentional visuals can be. When your identity aligns with your message, your audience doesn’t just see your work—they feel it.
