Suganja was looking to get a professional portrait as she had recently taken an interest in the real estate industry. She needed photos for her website, LinkedIn, and for marketing materials, so she chose to go for the Standard Package. She also added Hair Services to make sure everything in the image looked on point.
Hair Services are an additional cost of $50 and require ideally 1 week notice. Please note summer is the high season for all makeup artists due to wedding events, and all bookings should generally be 1 week in advance.
Staff Company Headshot
Steven is a math professor at U of T who needed a profile photo for his faculty page. He normally wears glasses, but we asked him if he was interested taking a couple photos without them on to add variation. Though he felt like more like himself with the glasses, to our surprise his final selection was a shot with out them!
It's no problem for us to take your portrait with and with out glasses, but we always need to know ahead of time as it requires a different lighting setup to avoid glare on the lenses.
Business Corporate Headshots
Michelle is a financial advisor that required a headshot for her company profile. Financial advisors are naturally upbeat and friendly people, it's important for them to connect to their clientele. Thus it was necessary that Michelle get a photo that presents her approachable nature. Michelle was a natural in front of the camera, so the Quick Package ended up providing the perfect amount of time to get one photo with one outfit.
If you are unsure of which package is right for you, let us know the intention of your shoot, and your comfort level infront of the camera. We often recommend the Standard Package for those who need time to warm up and relax in front of the camera.
Corporate Business Headshot
Madison is a recent hire at a financial company. She needed a friendly photo that could be displayed online on her company's website. Other than this being the first professional photo session she's had, she was most nervous about her smile and how it would turn out on camera. We know it is not a natural situation, so we try and help out by encouraging you to try many types of smiles and keep shooting until you find some you're happy with.
Even if you don't think anything in the photo is changing from shot to shot, you'd be amazed when looking at the results! We're confident you can find one that feels natural and right for your profile picture
Professional LinkedIn Headshot
Cassandra is a financial advisor that came into our studio with her friend and coworker, with the intention of getting professionally polished photos for their LinkedIn pages. They had been hearing positive things about LinkedIn and decided it was time to upgrade from the default profile avatar. Even though neither Cassandra or her friend were confident about getting their photo taken, the fact they did it together made the shoot light and fun, and we were able to get some great natural expressions from them.
While shooting with other people in the room isn't usually something we recommend as it tends to distract the subject, it ended up working well this time. The two friends bantered and laughed at each others blinking shots, and initially awkward facial expressions, which led to the mood changing from nervous to playful quickly into the shoot.
Corporate Business Headshots
Linda came to our studio with the intention of getting a professional portrait of herself to use for an article that she was being interviewed for. Linda booked the Standard Package which gave her plenty of shooting time, and 3 final edited images. She took the liberty of bringing in several clothing options so that she could get a different outfit for each photo. Even though her intention was to get a professional photo for the article, the extra shooting time and additional images allowed for her to get more casual and dressy photos she could use for other uses.
Just because you need a business portrait taken doesn't mean you need to necessarily bring 3 shirt and jacket changes. Feel free to bring other styles of clothing. Dress your portrait up or dress it down, the choice is up to you!
Business Corporate Portrait
Jenya is starting a new job as a junior business analyst and needed to have her portrait taken to add to her company's website. We were able to analyze the current employee gallery and deliver a photo that blends in with the others.
Some companies require their employees to have head shots that are uploaded online for web presence. If you require this type of service, please let us know and we will arrange it so that the lighting will be consistent, even if the photos were taken by other photographers!

Jon already had a photo of himself that was currently being used, which was taken against a white wall in the office. These days, people are valuing photography and video more than ever, as visual information increases in value.
Jon took our quick session package, and in less than 30 minutes he had a brushed up photo that could submit anywhere in confidence.
