📸 Branding Photos with VIV Mental Health
Working with the incredible team at was an inspiring experience. Their passion for empowering individuals and organizations through mental health education, advocacy, and innovation is evident in everything they do.
We captured photos of both Kristopher Marks, the founder and CEO, and Rachelle Kay, the Chief Operations Officer, at (Western Canada Fire & First Aid). Starting with headshots in front of a backdrop, we then moved into the shop area to reflect Kris’s roots in the trades. The shoot was designed to showcase their leadership, vision, and the multifaceted approach they bring to VIV Mental Health.
Kristopher Marks combines lived experience and professional expertise to connect with audiences around the world. From being a journeyman machinist to becoming a passionate mental health advocate and keynote speaker, Kris’s journey is a story of resilience and transformation. His ability to integrate his love of music, visual arts, and mental health into his work makes him a dynamic and impactful leader.
Rachelle Kay is the driving force behind VIV’s operations, with a client-centered approach and a remarkable ability to transform ideas into action. From her work with youth mentoring programs to her deep understanding of Alberta’s mental health system, Rachelle’s passion for creating safe, inclusive environments is both inspiring and impactful. She brings a wealth of experience in facilitation, project management, and leadership development to the team.
Together, Kris and Rachelle are shaping a vision for accessible and effective mental health support that’s making a difference across Canada and beyond.
