FAQ

When shooting family photos, branding, or on-site shoots back to back the number ranges wildly. We work with the timing we have with our client to ensure that they have all the great shots they need. We don’t count exposures.

On a typical individual LinkedIn portrait session in our studio we can take anywhere from 50 to 200 shots

We do offer a mini shoot option. Contact us and we’ll talk about exactly what you’re looking for!

We work with you until both you and the photographer are 100% sure you have all the looks you need. On average our full portrait session is about an hour, and you can expect to add 20 minutes if doing hair/makeup.

We have often had to come to bring our portable portrait studio on-site and shoot employees back to back at an all day conference. We have had days where we would shoot 200 happy customers back to back. Ideally we would have at least 5 minutes with every person but in a crunch we can do one pose and get one great shot in as little as 1 minute per person.

Absolutely. Our portable studio and photographer can travel anywhere within Canada. It’s $40 travel plus parking within the GTA. We can set up in your office, conference room, anywhere with a 5ft by 5ft space.

Our Toronto studio is located at Queen West. We love natural light and do a combination of studio shooting as well as natural light outdoor. That said, if you prefer to do everything in studio or everything outside we can certainly tailor the session to your taste.

Yep. Full list of our discounts are available on our discounts page. If you were referred by someone you get a free touched up shot or 10% off your session. Same offer goes to the person who referred you.

Absolutely. We are always happy to speak with your rep and shoot a look that is consistent with your company’s needs.

If we’re able to let you in early we absolutely will do that. If we’re in a session or not yet at the studio there are plenty of nearby cafes to hang out at. If you are late we will do everything we can to accommodate you but you may be cutting your session short if we have someone after you. We ask that you please call your photographer as soon as you think you may be running late.

Absolutely! You can connect your phone/iPod/whatever to our speakers via bluetooth or AUX and blast your favourite tunes. We can also put on anything you want on Spotify or any other music streaming service you enjoy.

Experience has taught us to not work with outside hair/makeup artists. We have a roster of a few super talented hair/makeup professionals who have many years of experience working specifically on portrait headshots as well as on set doing film and tv. These professionals are trained in shooting high definition images.

Alternatively, you are welcome to come to the shoot hair/makeup ready!

Bring with you a couple of wardrobe options, keeping in mind the branding you are going for.
Three is plenty but you can bring more and our photographer will help you narrow it down.

For business portraits we typically recommend a suit, business casual, and maybe one more casual look. You can study what you think works for you by visiting LinkedIn. For the most part we think that professional yet approachable is the way to go.

Keep in mind that we will achieve different looks by mixing and matching the wardrobe with your hair, makeup, and different background and lighting setups. Remember, it’s not so much about the clothes… It’s about you and the energy and personality you bring from shot to shot.

You don’t need to worry about bringing different options for shoes or pants if we are shooting from the waist up. You’ll be wearing pants, but we most likely not see them in the photos ????

We won’t be seeing your shoes in headshots, but we might for branding shots and certainly with family photos. Still, if you are more comfortable and feel better in, say, high heels, then you are welcome to wear them for your headshots.

Please note that hair includes styling. It does not include a wash and dry. Just have your hair clean when you come in.

If you think you’ll still like it in a few months’ time then feel free to bring it. Keep in mind that the focus with headshots is your eyes, so you might want to stay away from big or otherwise distracting jewellery.
