Headshots and Portrait for Dental Office:

/ / / / / staff picture day!

We love field trips on location for staff headshots! In a matter of minutes, we can assemble our lights in the corner of your work space and build a mini photoshoot set. This time we visited on location to a dental office where by we brought our white background to shoot against.

It’s not to say the atmosphere of their office wasn’t beautiful (it honestly was one of the nicer offices we’ve been to), yet the portraits we took needed to match the ones currently on their website. They were done by another photographer against a white background, so we mimicked the same style to keep everything consistent.

The images we took were to be used on her website to attract new clientele.

In this photo, we captured the natural body language in a way that replicates how our client would sit during one of her psychotherapy sessions, open and trustworthy. We recommend showing your hands in the photo if you’re looking to emphasize your personable nature.

Professional Toronto Studio for Headshots and Portrait Photography:

/ / / / / birthday portrait!

Although we do shoot a lot of corporate headshots for LinkedIn (probably due to our proximity to the financial district), there are the times where we feel like we hit a niche season. The theme of the niche this time? Birthday portraits!

Although in general it’s not that odd of a request to have people interested in capturing themselves as they are, at this point in life, with out using the selfie mode on their cellphone.

The benefit of a birthday portrait is that it can be printed out and framed as a gift, which doubles as a nice memory for your loved ones.

Professional Photography for Social Media Images:

/ / / / / material for online marketing

This is a portrait commissioned from a creative agency who was looking for marketing material for their social media and Instagram. The idea was to have personable shots of their staff as opposed to the typical corporate portrait style.

Each company member that we shot had a different hobby that we captured to bring out their character. Brazllian Jiu-Jitsu was the interest of this young lady, who we snapped this confident horizontal portrait of. The background colour was in line with the company branding, which was planned to match with their social media feed.

Professional Business and Corporate Headshots:

/ / / / / environmental background

No matter the weather, if your photoshoot takes place in the afternoon, we can arrange to have your portrait against our character window. The studio building is over 100 years old, which means it will undeniably add some visual interest to your headshot.

The viewer’s eye is able to relax looking at things other than the face in the photowhereas on a clean studio background, there’s no distractions and therefore more emphasis on the face. Not to say focusing the face is a bad thing when it comes to headshots, however from the subject’s point of view a window background could soften the portrait just to their liking.


For best results we recommend booking our Corporate/Business Package—trying an environmental background for your first option followed by a simple studio background for the second look. Compare and contrast the same outfit on two backgrounds, or change things up completely!

Professional Actor/Actress Headshots

/ / / / / to crop or not to crop

One of the most common things we’ve noticed over the years of shooting is that people tend to like things on others they don’t necessarily immediately like on themselves. An example of this is when it comes to the cropping of the photos.

We often respond well to portraits of others that have a subtly tight crop (since the impression is more impactful). Due to this, we sometimes apply the same cropping technique to our headshots, yet we found it’s common for clients to react with a “don’t cut my head off!”

We decided the best way to alleviate the issue was to provide the files with a tighter and looser crop. And ideally, with their own timing, they will slowly get used to the sight of their own faces close up!

Professional Headshots for Real Estate Agents:

/ / / / /

We often get asked if we shoot realtors specifically, and the short answer is—yes ! When it comes to realtor portraits, we follow the same lighting principles as we do for our LinkedIn headshots. We understand that as a real estate agent, you may be looking for more than 1 photo of yourself to use fo various marketing purposes whether it be online print media.

That’s why we always suggest that if you have a particular pose or concept in mind, that you pitch us the ideas beforehand so we may be best prepared to get the shots you need. We’ve had clients bring in props, signs, request full body or even have clipping service done on all of their images (as requested by their graphic designer).
