Our studio opened in November 2024 as a minimal and bright space available for rent for photographers and creators. The white walls and concrete floors create a unique space made for the modern creative.
The name stems from our physical location as “NEVELE” is “ELEVEN” backwards and our studio is in the 11th unit.
The space is bright, minimal, and perfect for smaller photoshoots and content creation. With East and North facing windows, the mornings offer direct sunlight from one side of the studio while our afternoons have a beautifully even and consistent lighting throughout the whole space.
Our owners, Jennifer Fortier & Caitlin Giesbrecht, are two local wedding and lifestyle photographers who wanted to create a modern, blank space to allow themselves and others to get creative. Both Caitlin and Jennifer use the space for boudoir, branding, lifestyle, families, and more.

OUR STORY
studio nevele started with a space
When the space came into our paths, our dreams of opening a studio quickly turned into a reality and a vision for Studio Nevele began to take place. We fell in love with this space for many reasons, but the most prominent of them all was the feature that turned into the foundation for both the vision and the brand of Studio Nevele: our concrete floors.
Once we had the space, next came the name. Located inside Unit 11, we turned ELEVEN around and crafted NEVELE.
Without a doubt, two wedding photographers taking on a project of this magnitude during our busiest months of the year was no small undertaking, but it was truly the opportunity to bring this space to life that we had to jump on and we’re so glad we did. We cannot wait to show you Studio Nevele and know you will fall in love with it, just like we did.
Of course, we can't leave without a few special mentions to the amazing people in our lives who have helped us bring this vision to life. We couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you to Cody, Eric, and Dylan (with help from Carlynn and Alora) for making the biggest impact to the space and building us a wall. To Michael, Dave, and Davis for helping with some of the finishing details including baseboards, door frames, and doors. To Helen, Maureen, and Daryl for the final touches from painting, curtain hanging, and deep cleaning. To Junior from Renew Painting for taking on the task of painting our ceiling and bringing our Roman clay feature wall dreams to life. Most importantly, to our partners Zach and Quinten, who dedicated countless hours with everything from drywalling to electrical and many things in between.
We are so excited for this chapter, thank you for joining us on this new venture.
With love,
Jen & Caitlin
Once the name was picked out, Studio Nevele's branding and interior design were developed, in tandem, as a complement to one another. The brand visuals were designed to look as the studio was designed to feel– industrial, modern, and minimal. The cool-toned brand colours were chosen to reflect the coolness of our concrete floors, while the bold fonts, used in a minimalistic design, were selected to reflect our textured and minimal space.
