BrandShots Live Nanaimo Delivers Strong First Year Results and Sets the Stage for a Multi City Expansion
Nanaimo, BC — December 12, 2026 — BrandShots Live, the one day professional brand photography and business visibility event created and produced by Pam Ivey, wrapped its inaugural Nanaimo edition with strong attendance, positive participant feedback, and clear indicators of market demand that support its expansion across North America.
Held on November 28 at the Beban Park Social Centre, BrandShots Live brought business owners from across Vancouver Island together for professional brand photos, visibility training, and networking. More than forty participants took part in the launch event, supported by a team of photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists, speakers, and vendors. Nanaimo Magazine and Voyager Magazine served as media partners.
Attendees reported increased confidence in showing up online and updated visual assets that support their sales and marketing goals. Participants shared strong feedback about the experience. Nick Weaver said the event was “the perfect mix of connection and efficiency” and added that he left “energized, connected, and with new professional photos that support my business.”
Pam Ivey, producer of BrandShots Live, noted that business owners want photos that look like them, reflect their personality, and support their marketing strategy. She shared that the Nanaimo launch confirmed market demand for a clear, structured event that offers an efficient way to update brand visuals without the cost or complexity of a full photoshoot.
Following the success of the Nanaimo launch, BrandShots Live is moving ahead with upcoming events in Vancouver, Toronto, Nashville, and Austin in 2026. Each location will feature local photographers, glam teams, small business vendors, and speakers, building on the model introduced in Nanaimo.
BrandShots Live is designed to help business owners show up professionally with high quality brand photos, practical visibility guidance, and new community connections.
