Headshot & Branding Mini-Sessions

Vacation Mode Minis

Keep your brand buzzing — without breaking a sweat

If your content feels stale and your audience is scrolling past, it’s time for a summer refresh. These bite-sized brand sessions give you effortless, personality-packed photos that keep you visible and selling—even while you soak up the sun.

Sound familiar?

– You’ve been reusing the same 3 photos for months

– You know you need a refresh, but don’t have the time or energy

– You’re planning to take time off—but still want to stay visible

– Your current headshots don’t capture who you are anymore (Hello, bangs!)

This is your summer shortcut to…

– Confident, on-brand photos that actually feel like you
– Fresh content to use all season long
– Staying consistent online—without having to show up constantly
– Looking polished and professional (even if you’re poolside)

HAVE FUN AND GET GREAT PHOTOS

After getting a few emails with all the info you need to prep, you’ll arrive for your session at a great natural light studio in Toronto. I’ll help you feel comfortable and give gentle direction so your photos will look like the best version of YOU! 2 weeks later, you’ll get an email of your gallery where you can choose your photos, or upgrade to the whole gallery if you can’t decide! 😘

Emily made the session so much fun, and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed.

I WANT THAT SUMMER REFRESH!

Who benefits most from
“Vacation Mode Minis”?

The Burnt-out Creative

You’ve been creating content for what feels like forever—and lately, it’s just not flowing. You’re tired of trying to look inspired when you’re anything but. These minis are your chance to hit refresh without overthinking it—so you can feel excited to post again (and actually like your photos).

The Doing-It-All Mom

Between client calls, school pickups, snack duty, and keeping your business alive, you’re running on fumes. Time for yourself? What’s that? This is your permission slip to press pause and show up for your brand. No stress, no prep spiral—just 20 minutes that are totally about you.

The Nervous (But Excited) Newbie

You’re new(ish) to business and still finding your footing. You know you need to show up, but… being in front of the camera is intimidating. These minis are a low-pressure way to get photos that help you feel confident, credible, and proud to share what you do—even if you’re still figuring it all out.

Where It’s All Happening

Your session will take place in a bright, natural light studio in North York—just off the 401, with free parking (yes, really). The space is simple, modern, and full of gorgeous corners to shoot in. Think clean backdrops, different styles of furniture to choose from, and flattering light that really shows off you and your brand.

You’ll get all the studio details after booking, but just know: it’s as chill and confidence-boosting as the rest of the experience.

YOU HAD ME AT FREE PARKING!

HI! I’M EMILY.

I’m a Toronto brand photographer who helps business owners like you feel confident and seen through scroll-stopping photos

Whether you’re starting to build your business or just trying to stay visible between vacations, I’m here to make it easy—and fun.
These mini sessions are fast and light, but you’ll still walk away with images that feel like you and support your brand.

GET ME ON THAT WAITLIST!

QUESTIONS?

A headshot is just a simple shoulders and head close up photo. Whereas brand photos are many different poses, action shots, details, etc. Basically a headshot is one photo but brand photos are a story.

This will depend a lot on the vibe you want your brand and images to have, and of course what looks best on you. You can read more about what to wear for your session here.

You can come to the studio 10 minutes before your session. There is a limit to the number of people allowed in the room at one time, so if you arrive earlier than that, please wait outside.

Your photos are delivered in an online gallery 2 weeks after your session and you can download the number of images included with your mini type (3 for headshots, and 10 for brand). If you find that you can’t choose, you’ll have the option to upgrade to the whole gallery or purchase extra photos individually.

Mini sessions include one person only. If you would like to have your team photographed as well, please email me about booking a full session and we can tailor it to your needs.

I will include information about how to prep for your photos in emails you receive after you book, but as mini sessions are a much lower price point, they do not include detailed planning with me. My signature brand sessions include a lot of planning before the session with a questionnaire, zoom call, and mood board. Then I put it all together in a custom brand session guide just for you. So if you’re finding you’d like a more custom approach, a full brand session would be a better fit.
