Since July of 2013 we’ve been offering a service called Friday Photos™ on the first and sometimes 3rd Friday of each month, depending on demand.
The concept is simple: We’ve got a beautiful large and private ground floor studio with a separate entrance and free parking minutes from downtown Toronto, just around the corner from the terminus of the Gardiner and DVP. We decided to capitalize on this by inviting our clients to send their new partners, associates or employees for an elegant, authentic portrait, in their firm’s established style, on a regularly scheduled day every month rather than wait until they have enough people to justify setting up a shoot at their own premises (or waiting for their offices to re-open post-COVID). We’re able to provide a friendly, elegant and comfortable environment that’s about as COVID safe as you can get, and can amortize our costs over several clients, lowering our price per person while offering a superior standard of service and quality.
We offer an all-inclusive package: hair and makeup, choice of customized lighting style, immediate image selection and full retouching for one fixed price. Available options are simple: order additional images, or opt for us to close-crop the image(s) and drop onto one of our extensive library of in-situ backgrounds. We have a standardized package of image outputs or we can tailor to a client’s specific needs.
Many of Toronto’s top firms consistently take advantage of this service, including 5 of the Seven Sisters law firms. They find that the quality, convenience and price make our Friday Photos™ days very attractive. The folks that they send for portraits are always pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they feel and how much they actually enjoy the process (and LOVE the results), even though many tell us afterwards that they were dreading the session before arrival. We’ve got a heap of 5-star testimonials attesting to how great people feel during the sessions, which of course, translates into better portraits!
