Planning tips & FAQ

What is the best time for our shoot?

For outdoor locations like Millennium Square or Humber Bay Shores, we highly recommend the "Golden Hour"—the hour just before sunset or just after sunrise. This is when the light is softest and most flattering, creating that warm, editorial glow. For indoor or urban spots like Union Station, mid-morning or early afternoon often provides the best balance of natural light and manageable crowds.

What should we wear or pack?

Your outfit should reflect your personality, but we generally recommend neutral tones and solid colors (creams, tans, soft blues, or deep greens). These colors photograph beautifully against both the lakefront and the city's stone architecture. Avoid busy patterns or large logos, as they can distract from the main subject: you. If you’re planning a session at multiple locations, we suggest one "casual" look and one "elevated" look to give your gallery variety.

Do we need a permit for photography?

Permit requirements vary by location. Public parks in the Durham Region are often flexible, but high-traffic areas like Union Station or certain Toronto Conservation areas may require a pre-purchased photography permit. Don't worry—part of our service is helping you navigate these logistics. We will advise you on whether a permit is necessary for your chosen spot and can help guide you through the application process to ensure our shoot is seamless and stress-free.
