Meet Bryttanni Laturnus

We recently connected with Bryttanni Laturnus and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Bryttanni, thank you so much for making time for us today. Let’s jump right into a question so many in our community are looking for answers to – how to overcome creativity blocks, writer’s block, etc. We’d love to hear your thoughts or any advice you might have.

One of the main ways I’ve overcome creative blocks is by intentionally putting myself in new environments and around different types of creatives. I’ve found that stepping outside of the comfort zone I’ve built for myself—whether that means exploring other industries or simply observing how others approach their work—helps me gain fresh perspectives. It pushes me to think differently and challenge the way I normally create.

Another huge factor has been mentoring others or helping friends with their creative projects. There’s something about stepping into a supportive role that forces me to reflect on my own process, and it often reignites my own inspiration. When I’m not so locked into my own work or mindset, and instead focused on helping someone else, it naturally expands my creative thinking and gets me unstuck.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

My business focuses on wedding and branding photography, but at the heart of it, I’m really all about capturing the authentic, unseen moments that often go unnoticed. Whether it’s a wedding or a brand shoot, I approach every project with the intention of creating something that feels like art, not just posed photos.

I love working collaboratively with my clients to understand their energy, their story, and how they want to be perceived. Especially with weddings, I pay close attention to the subtle ways people connect, the way they touch, laugh, or simply look at each other. I use that to create visual pieces that reflect who they truly are.

For brands, I dive into how they want to be seen by the world and translate that into imagery that communicates their identity with honesty and creativity. It’s always more than just a photo to me, it’s about creating a visual experience that captures the soul of a moment or a brand.

My work has taken me all over the world for example France, Italy, New York, Vancouver, Portland, and across Alberta; capturing everything from intimate weddings to bold brand stories. No matter where I go, I bring the same intention: to create meaningful, artistic visuals that speak to the essence of my clients.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, three qualities and areas of knowledge have had the greatest impact on my journey as a business owner:

1. Experience through Repetition & Relationship Building. Starting multiple businesses over the years has given me a strong foundation and a clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t. With each venture, I’ve built and leaned on a growing network, relationships that have carried over and helped me build momentum in new directions. This repetition allowed me to develop an understanding for effective approaches, common pitfalls, and the nuances of how things are received in the business world. It taught me how to read the room, trust my instincts, and build trust in return.

2. Clear Vision & Strategic Market Positioning. One of the most impactful things I’ve done is develop a very specific vision for how I want to be perceived, and then take deliberate, sometimes unconventional steps to get there. Even when the path required effort others might avoid, I’ve always kept the end goal in mind: to position myself as a creative, high touch, art driven photographer who resonates with a particular clientele. That meant understanding my ideal clients deeply, their tastes, values, and the kind of relationship they expect with a photographer. Then aligning everything I put out into the world to meet those expectations. From content creation to the venues I choose to work in, the brands I associate with, and the way I speak about my work, every move has been intentional.

3. Flexibility & Adaptability. Flexibility has been essential. Whether it’s shifting the way I communicate with clients, adjusting to different workflows with planners and stylists, or navigating different personalities and unexpected challenges, I’ve learned that staying adaptable is key. Hard work paired with a willingness to pivot has allowed me to consistently meet and exceed client expectations. I’ve come to see challenges not as roadblocks, but as opportunities to creatively problem solve, while still delivering a final product that feels aligned with my vision and meaningful for my clients.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?

Right now, the biggest challenge I’m facing in my business is avoiding burnout and maintaining momentum in my energy levels. I’ve found it really difficult to create space for myself and prioritize what I need on a personal level, whether that’s time for my mental health, physical well being, or just being present with my family. It’s an area I haven’t fully figured out yet, but it’s something I’m actively working on and have made a personal goal for this year. As much as I love what I do, I’m learning that sustainability and balance are just as important as growth and success.
