WHAT WE DO
‘Take 10’ Sessions
The revolutionary ‘Take 10’ curated photo session is designed to take a smaller number of professional shots in ten minutes, all in the comfort + convenience of leading boutiques all over Toronto and the GTA. Why? Because we believe that individuals + parents should have access to frequent, mini pro sessions at a low cost because that just feels good. Oh, and we also think it’s pretty powerful when businesses come together to look after their communities and we continue to team up with folks that share the same values that we do.
The ‘Take 10’ Signature Large Format Session style has become what we’re known for, with sessions selling out all over the GTA in 90 minutes or less. Its intent is to authentically capture a personality, moment or relationship. There’s nothing else there to clutter it up: it’s simple, clean and speaks for itself. We also offer celebration, headshot, outdoor + monthly milestone sessions in this fun, cost-conscious 10-minute format.
Ideal for: Children of all ages (sitting independently is an asset) • Family sessions • Dogs + new puppies that need to be captured • Headshots for LinkedIn, web or a quick update that is desperately needed • Celebrations, including donut sessions (cake/cupcake, too!) • Cost-conscious option for parents on mat/pat leave in baby’s first year (monthly milestone)
