Studio Address: 1024 Dupont St. Unit 110

Contact: 647-785-4522 (Call upon arrival—the building can be a maze!)

Arrival Time: Please try to avoid arriving early so we can finish with the previous client.
Parking: There is residential street parking in the area. Try Westmoreland and Salem first. Dupont St. is an option but keep in mind you will be towed on Dupont St. during the “no stopping” periods (weekdays 7-9am on the South side and 4-6pm on the North side).

The Planning Call: We will have a 60-minute phone consultation (ideally a few days before the shoot) to gain clarity and direction. Please be in a quiet, relaxed place for this call.
Homework: After our call, email photos of your wardrobe (worn, if possible), mood boards, or demo reels.
Hard Stops: If you have a firm departure time, please let me know with as much notice as possible.
Communication: Please keep all correspondence to Email only to ensure no details are lost.

The "Must-Have": Bring a pair of jeans with pockets and belt loops; they are essential for posing.
Fit & Texture: Fitted clothes tend to look best. Choose textures over busy patterns (plaid gets a pass, though) and bring a variety of necklines (High, Scoop, V-neck, Collared).
Branding & Graphics: These are not strictly against the rules, but their use is very limited and the option to remove them in post is not always available.
Glasses: Use frames without lenses if possible. Glasses with blue light filters are unusable.
Undergarments: Bring black and nude bras (strapless and with straps). Note which tops are see-through.
Prep: All clothes must be steamed/ironed and lint-free. Use a wardrobe bag, as folded clothes will wrinkle.
Final Note: These are suggestions, not rules. It’s a good idea to consider them if you want a conventional headshot. What you wear and how you present yourself is totally up to you. My philosophy is you can break as many rules as you want, but it should be done intentionally, not by accident.

Professional Artists: Specialized HMUA recommendations are available upon request. If you are bringing in an HMUA of your own, please confirm the amount of time they will spend with you in studio. 4 hours total is ideal.
DIY Styling: If doing your own, bring all tools and products to the studio for touch-ups.
Grooming: Shaving between looks is fine; just mention your plan during the consultation.
HMUA Prep: If hiring one of my recommended artists, wash hair the day before (no residue), arrive without makeup, and do not style your hair beforehand.

Proofs: Watermarked proofs are for selection only. No public sharing (Instagram/Facebook) of watermarked proofs is permitted.
Costs: Each purchased image is $50 + HST, due upon selection. I do not deliver un-watermarked or un-retouched files.
Turnaround: Retouches arrive approximately 2–3 weeks after selection and payment.
Add-ons: Name-on-file formatting ($5 + HST) and one-week rush service ($10 + HST) are available upon request.
