Portraits for days when you want to feel beautiful and confident
Portraits for when you want to see yourself differently
The finished portraits, delivered after the shoot
Birthday photoshoots in Toronto, and other days worth marking
Not a record of how you looked. A picture of how you feel. A birthday is a good reason to step in front of the camera, and so is no reason at all.
If you are not sure where to start, choose two or three words for how you want to feel when you look at the photos, such as calm, bold or playful, and send them to us. Those words become the brief.
- Someone planning a birthday photoshoot
- Someone marking a special moment
- Someone who needs portraits for work: see personal branding photography
- Someone who would like to be photographed with a partner: see couples sessions
- Someone who wants the whole family in the frame: see family and kids photography

Before the day, and a note on Toronto
Toronto's seasons change the light and the wardrobe, so the same idea can look completely different in July and in January. A park, a quiet street, the lakefront and an indoor space each give a different look. A few things help before the day:
- Date: if a birthday is the reason for the shoot, mention the date when you message us, and keep a back-up idea in case of rain
- Wear: two outfit options, and comfortable shoes if you will be walking
- Bring: a handful of reference images and any accessories you want in the frame
- Weather: a warm layer
- Access: some public places and venues have their own photography rules, so check before the day
