Corporate/Personal Headshots: Toronto, Ontario

Filed under: Corporate,Headshots,Photography Session — Holly @ 6:26 pm

Liz, from Manifest, needed some new corporate headshots as well as some photos for her comedy improv work. We met up at Verity for her photoshoot.

Equipment Used: All the images here were shot with either the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens or the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.

Verity is a wonderful location for a photoshoot as there are so many different backgrounds/locations to work with. We started in a meeting room with natural brick walls:

My fabulous friend, Janine, from imabeautygeek.com, did the make-up for the shoot and she did a fab job, wish I had her available to do make-up for me every day! Here we moved outside to the back deck/patio area:

Just a little touch-up:

Then, in the drizzle, we did some shots in the back alley just for fun. Gives the shoot an urban feel and a great juxtaposition with the gritty alley against the sharp business suit:

Then it really started to rain, so we moved back indoors and borrowed one of the gorgeous hotel rooms available at Verity for a few more shots:

At the very end we moved out to a common area where I placed one of the fabulous pieces of artwork (which are everywhere at Verity!) into the background for a soft dreamy backdrop:

Thank you again Janine! And thank you Liz, it was so much fun!

Baptism: Toronto Event Photography

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing my first Baptism. The sweetest little girl, nicknamed “Blueberry”, with big blue eyes and a wonderful happy personality! She reminded me of my daughter!

I started with some photos of the Baptism gown:

I had a wonderful family session with the T Family this past weekend! So hard to limit my favs to only these!
