What guests say about their Toronto shoot

Jenifer's humor and friendliness took the awkward edge off completely — we've never really done a photoshoot before, and she walked us through every step patiently. If you're hesitating, don't — just book it!

Photoshoot in Hamilton

A professional photographer got me some really wonderful photos — selfies aren't my thing, so I booked her for Christmas market shots, works fine even solo. My advice: book at least 30 minutes for the market, since there's walking between good spots and 15 wouldn't cut it. Traveling alone, the 30-minute slot was plenty.
