Last summer we created some new content for local Brooklin chiropractor Dr. du Quensay. Her clinic is located at 134 Baldwin St. N. with ample parking in site for patients.
Our initial consultation we discussed what her business content would be used for. In her case a website was being recreated and she had very specific visions for how and what content she wanted to see in the new site.
We knew we wanted to feature the clinic from the street so patients who are new to the practice could find the building from the road. In addition, to show the gardens near the parking area which ties into the overall brand.
Not to be left out Dr. du Quensay’s story are her two dogs who she and her husband walk throughout the downtown every day. We found some time during the session to walk downtown and capture them on a local bench.

After a long pause due to the pandemic we got to return to PACE Technical. They have a new office, lots of new amazing staff and ownership and were prepping for a website refresh. Joining the team we created content for the advertising agency to use in the new reactive website design which just launched this week.
Each headshot created was provided as a .tif file as well as a 5×5 for social media using a background provided by the agency. Team members were asked to wear PACE wear or professional wear, making a mix of looks that all work well together. For team members who didn’t want to be online we noted this in their files when handing them off, they will be used in the internal systems only.
Are you looking to refresh your team? We work with small, medium and large sized businesses in the Greater Toronto Area to ensure a fast, painless experience. Not having to “choose” after the session makes a faster experience for administration and a more connected portrait for your staff.

A business brand is one of your most valuable tools. It is also okay to not have been born with the ability to write copy, take photos and film video. The most professional approach is to bring in the professionals who can help you build a brand that tells your story.
That is just what this amazing business owner did when she hired us. She worked with a business coach to redesign her business, website and after researching she decided to connect with us to do her photos.
Clients spend time telling us what they need so we can provide the package that fits their needs and budget. We do a walk through to determine the best way to capture the images that line up with their brand.
Images can be functional – like showing the room you work in or the front of the building (if applicable). Melissa has a warm and welcoming massage room with black out curtains, a soft teal paint on the wall and a warm wood floor. A photo conveys this quickly so your client knows how it will feel in the space, exception the lights would be dimmed here.
Images can show you at work, we captured many images of Melissa doing her craft (fully lit for storytelling purposes). Her services range from massage services, mobile massages, Craniosacral therapy, Integrative manual therapy and infant massage.
We also picked a few of the tools she uses and sells to allow her to showcase them in social media posts that will drive back to her website. The images are in the same shoot and feel connected to the overall branding.
Business: Parents Therapeutic Massage of Durham

We are delighted with the final images on the website and we highly encourage you to look Melissa up.

Team photos in studio complete the look opf individual teams.
This past November we worked with Sean Aune and his team to update their individual and team headshots. They had recently done images that they felt did not represent their team and wanted a modern, fresh look in keeping with the IG Wealth Management brand.
We picked a solid navy background which already modernized the look. Then with some coaching we helped the team pick their outfits and with posing in the studio. Posing sometimes can come naturally but we are there to make you at ease, shoot a few images tethered to show you the way you are smiling, holding your head and the impact of a few changes to your posture.
When blogging a session we love to show you how the image is being used by the client. Each team member now has this on the website making them look cohesive, professional and current.
Below you can see the various team members 5×5 crops which we provide alongside each full sized image – ready to be popped into social media – Linked In, your website, Facebook and Zoom feeds. The world may be back to some of the pre 2020 habits but we are still making first contact online most of the time and the right look can mean the difference between a lead passing you by and engaging.
The team is hoping to expand the content in 2023 with some in office images and we cannot wait to see them all again.

In November we were tasked with updating the portraits for the newly elected Town Council for the Town of Whitby.
Over the past ten years we have worked with organizations to create images that support their overall brand strategy. What is a brand? It is not something tangible – you cannot reach out and touch it – but it forms for an organization a dialogue between it and the people it serves. It is made of logos, missions and its voice – alongside the visuals such as graphics, illustrations and photography.
Our new town brand “features a unique, modern logo, created by a single flowing line that forms a subtle handwritten “W” for “Whitby.” The line graphic begins as a gold upward curve, giving a nod to Whitby’s heritage. The line turns to green to represent the community’s growth, and active and green spaces, before finishing in cyan (a bright blue) to represent the Town’s waterfront and friendly nature. The palette also includes the navy from the Town’s previous brand representing stability. Collectively, the colours signal a community that is welcoming, growing and transforming.”
Each headshot for our councillors knits together each individual ward and regional councillor with a recognizable look and feel. We moved away from department store and school photo textured backgrounds which read as outdated and instead used a modern, solid colour background.
The new website images are a full page width and feature a gradient background – the Savage solid colour papers create a modern look. A gradient overlay ties in the overall look so it remains consistent between staff members.
We are looking forward to the new planning and strategies to come under Mayor Elizabeth Roy and council. We wish them all the best in their new terms and enjoyed the creation of images that align with this refreshed council team.

Trinity Design Photography in Whitby is a small, scale boutique studio and it may just be a better fit for you than the normal volume studio graduate experience. We service a small number of clientele who want a little more from their experience and expert photographic skills.
As a smaller studio we put together for our client a quality experience. We buy the best stoles we can stock with matte textures and have a variety of gown/hat/tassel combinations for your graduate to borrow. From black, to navy and even Trent Green is now in stock in the studio.
NOTE: We just can’t have all the vee stoles and colours. Some universities may have over thirty departments all with different colour schemes. We do our best and often times clients will purchase the specialty stole for their photos and use our gown/hat/tassel combinations.
Over the past 9+ years we have built a strong reputation for more than just our photographic skills. We have many amazing clients who do not do well in volume studios and experience with kids who may not like to be touched or are triggered by busy or loud situations.
We support kids who are transitioning or perhaps are in the middle of a journey to the person they want to be. Our studio is a safe space for you and your kids. Owner Kirsten is a experienced mother of three, has a background in childcare and herself understands how anxious a photo experience can be for anyone at any age.
We are adding new vee stoles and gowns as time passes – we did this cute Tik Tok featuring rising country music star Riley Wheater (see below) showing the ones we had as of the beginning of April. Since then new ones have arrived and more are coming in matte fabrics which look amazing on camera.
If you’re looking for a talented and professional photographer/storyteller, I highly recommend Kirsten at Trinity Design Photography. She goes above and beyond to capture the best image. Her patient and lovely personality make her a joy to work with. Thank you!

Above a simple black jacket paired with a scoop tank top and a meaningful jewelry piece creates a modern look for her.
The world during the pandemic has changed the landscape of how we work and as a result having a headshot that represents you is essential. First impressions are still the most important thing when meeting new colleagues and clients – so by using a professional headshot artist you are literally putting your best “face” forward.
Our brains can absorb a lot from a photo – is this person trust worthy? is this person someone I would like? like to work with? is this someone who is good at their job. Professional imagery done well creates a strong first impression versus a cellphone shot or worse, a cropped shot from the last wedding you attended.
In Susan’s office there is no office. They work virtually and have as a new team formed during the pandemic. While face to face is not out of the question the norm for her is Zoom and other online meeting zones. So with this in mind we started looking at how to create her headshots to reflect who she is. In her world chances are 100% of the people spend time with her photo – not her in person.
When dressing for headshots much like any portrait we ask bring solid shirts and jacket that will allow the focus to stay on your face in your headshot. We levelled up this studio jacket Susan borrowed by changing it from an olive green to a purple that suited her hair and her personality. As a purple lover myself I was all in on that change. It also provided a more modern colour story with the navy background.
Susan is a modern, fun and educated woman. We wanted her portraits to show this immediately and reinforce her position as a Chief Pension Officer. These options give her room to change it up from time to time – the main reason we offer a 3 image package is the flexibility it gives clients.
This use of a paper lined surface to create a faux desk is one of my new favourite ways to stage a headshot. It creates a lovely modern “desk” and allows for the client to sit forward, elongating the body through the neck and shoulders for that perfect pose an modern headshot.
If you need to update your professional headshots we would love to chat. In a world that seems to still be embracing Zoom it’s not a nice to have, it’s a must have.
