Anna wanted some updated photos of herself in a fashion portrait style. She was really relaxed and laid back during the session and made sure to put on her best smize (smile with her eyes!). We liked the intensity of this shot where some volume was added to her hair with the gentle breeze from our wind machine. We also chose to look for clothing that had unique details to it to avoid using jewellery in order to achieve that trendy minimalist look.
Modelling Portfolio Shoot
Angel wanted to experience her first photoshoot to see how she liked modelling. The style she requested for her clothing was casual, comfortable, yet sophisticated. We found these really cool baggy white sequinned shorts for her with a contrasting form fitting black bralette. Hoop earrings may be a statement in real life, but in photos they are a slim, and rather subtle accent that helps tie the look together. For this session, hair and make up were kept very natural since it's easier for casting to imagine what would suit her based on a bare face.
Corporate Portrait
Veroljub needed a loosely cropped simple photo to submit to his marketing team. The graphic designer needed a full resolution, colour shot that would later be cropped to a shoulders up headshot, and converted into black and white. If your employer has certain specifications for your photo, please don't hesitate to forward us all the information necessary so that we can make sure to output the file as per the requirements.
Engagement Portrait
Tannika and Devesh were wrapping up the finishing touches on their pre wedding plans, which included a trip to the photo studio for an engagement portrait session. With their Exclusive Group Package, they received 5 final edited photos, however they ended up picking 16 extra images.
In cases like these, the typical 2 week wait time would be extended by 1 week to compensate for the extra time needed in the retouching process. Since their wedding was just around the corner, they asked if they could get 2 images earlier than the determined wait time—it was definitely doable!
Business Portrait
Tom was being honoured for an award in the mining industry. The planning committee required him to send in an updated headshot which would be displayed in the presentation, as well as in print and online. Since the photo was going to be used in several mediums, we sent him the final edited image in several different sizes for his convenience. The standard size we send all our clients is the full resolution image—large enough to print on a billboard if you desire!
Most websites automatically resize photos such as Linkedin or Facebook, however occasionally you may come across outdated software that requires you to resize prior to uploading. If you ever need assistance in sizing, even long after your photoshoot, please don't hesitate to ask for our help.
Business Portrait
Darren just started his new job and wasn't able to use the headshot he had used at his previous job. He was sent to us by his company to get an updated headshot for marketing and online media. We know that getting your photo is not the easiest experience, so we offer a choice of standing or sitting portrait depending on your comfort level. Darren tried a couple of rounds sitting down, but felt standing was more natural for him. The main focus of the photoshoot is for you to feel comfortable, which gives you an end result that looks like you and feels like you!
Fashion Photography
Palvisha wanted to get into modelling, and came to us to get some professional studio shots so that she could submit when looking for an agency to be represented by. She asked us for tips on which agencies to apply to, and we were happy to suggest reliable point of references. We provided her with 1 outfit according to reference photos that she sent in, and she brought along with her an outfit she prepared.
Good luck with everything Palvisha and thank you for coming in!
Corporate Photography
Tania was starting her job in a week and needed to have her portrait taken to be listed on the staff page on her company's website. Like most people, she didn't like having her photo taken and wanted it to be over as soon as possible. She got our Quick Package and we ended up only shooting for 10 minutes. Nonetheless, there were still many photos for her to choose from, and she ended up letting us pick her final image as even the selection process was uncomfortable! It's times like these we joke that coming to our studio is as nerve-wracking for some people as going to the dentist :-)
