One of my favorite projects this year: the I Love Local HFX brochure highlighting Halifax's best independent shops and restaurants. I Love Local HFX is a group of community-minded businesses that are committed to supporting each other and making Halifax a vibrant place to shop, eat and live. I'm thrilled to have been a part of the creative team bringing this new brochure together. I strongly support shopping local and had a great time visiting and photographing local business owners, managers and staff for the new brochure. I think it's really important to get to know your local shop owners face to face and to find out who is providing the unique services you can find in your community. Everyone was very welcoming, generous and happy to pose for a few photos. I enjoyed having a chat with each participant along the way, trying a few treats here and there and making a mental shopping list for future visits!
Below are just a few of my favorites. Keep an eye out for the new brochure and pick one up to see the rest of the photos! Organized by Gordon Stevens and designed by Devon Mason, I'm really proud to be a part of this project and look forward to staying connected with this local Halifax business community.
