A nostalgic embrace of your favourite prints and love notes – a space that feels personal and warm; a space that feels like home. We created this dreamy brand and website for Bella Chavez, an Ontario-based lifestyle & wedding photographer. Using our Olivia Rose Showit template as a base, our collaboration included: custom brand design, template customization (Website Rejuvenation Lite), and essential copyediting.

“The investment will be so worth it! Savannah will dive into your world and help you along the way. You will end up with the most beautiful site/brand you ever dreamed of. She will make you feel special and important. Her faith in you will inspire you and there’s no better feeling than that.”
I wanted my website to feel like me. I longed to have a brand that represented my true self and wanted to work with someone who understood me. I had a vision that included a lot of art/creative pieces and it was important to me that whomever I was going to end up working with, also shared the same philosophy in life and creative vision as me. Your creativity and attention to detail are so mesmerizing. You made me look at things with a different perspective and I appreciate that so much. I cried the first time I saw my new brand and website. Happy tears. I feel like this is a new beginning for my business and I couldn’t be more thankful to you for everything you worked so hard on while also trying to keep up with my busy schedule and timeline. You made everything very easy to follow and I enjoyed how personal everything was. I thought it would be a long task but it wasn’t! Everything fell into place seamlessly and I will miss working with you.

Intention
Bella came to us looking for a brand and website that felt elevated yet deeply personal at the same time. She wanted a space that fully embodied her personality and love for vintage keepsakes while also drawing in more ideal wedding clients. During the discovery process, we established that Bella’s warmth is what often draws people in and with that, we wanted to make sure we were highlighting this natural strength of hers across her entire brand identity.
Process & Approach
For this project, our goal was to infuse warmth throughout the website while ensuring every element complemented her work as a photographer. For the colour palette, we gravitated toward darker brown tones, neutrals, warm greens, and maroon to allow her imagery to stand out beautifully on its own. For typography, we selected fonts that felt romantic and personal, with the body font evoking the nostalgia of a typewriter-written letter. Taking a character-driven approach, we incorporated design elements that express who she is on a human level, aligning with her overall philosophy.
Using our Olivia Rose template as a foundation, we customized the design to create a website that feels like an elevated scrapbook, complete with textured backgrounds, script and serif fonts, ink accents, and photographic collages – all crafted to showcase the heart behind her work. To further connect with her audience, we utilized the About page to highlight her life and personality beyond photography, giving visitors a chance to truly get to know her before reaching out.
With our Website Rejuvenation Lite package, we were ready to launch her new digital home in under 2 weeks – a space inspired by boleros, first looks, morning cuddles, golden hour, handwritten notes, warm spring days, and film photography.
“You know when you have a friend that is always there for you, no matter any situation, without any judgment and giving you all the love? That is what working with Savannah felt like.”
It is everything and more. From the initial call to the very end, she made me feel important and that my work truly matters. She will dive 100% into your project and give you ideas that could help you reflect back. She made everything look so easy and smooth, I will recommend her for the end of time. I see Savannah as a friend and will cherish her friendship. I’ve said it a million times now, but thank you, from the bottom of my heart for everything. A dream come true.
