Headshots + Portraits for Toronto Professionals

If you're a working professional in Toronto, you likely need a headshot that feels current, confident, and true to who you are. I offer headshot sessions that are simple, efficient and designed for people who want to look professional without feeling overly posed or uncomfortable.

You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about looking “camera ready.” I’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure you walk away with polished images that still feel like you. Sessions take place in my home studio near Ossington and Bloor, or on location if you prefer a setting that better reflects your work.

Branding Photography in Toronto

If you’re a business owner, freelancer, or creative based in Toronto, branding photography can help you show up online with more clarity and personality. These sessions are customized to reflect your work, values, and story without the generic backdrops or stiff poses.

Sessions can take place in your workspace, at a local spot that fits your brand, or at a studio in Toronto, I’ll guide you throughout so the experience feels intentional and easy. The result? Photos that feel aligned, natural, and purposeful to your business.

Portraits for Dating Profiles

Take it from someone who met her partner on a dating site. I get it: You need new photos for a dating app but feel awkward in front of the camera, you're not the only one. I get it. You’re thinking, “I need good photos, but not overly posed.” I couldn’t agree more. My approach is personal, and I guarantee, there will be no stiff poses, no cheesy smiles. I’ll guide you just enough so you feel comfortable, and we’ll take a mix of relaxed portraits that feel like the real you as well as many, many natural looking candids. The goal is for your photos to look professional, but not too perfect so someone thinks you got a photographer to take them. Even though there is NOTHING wrong with that as so many people are doing that these days.

“I want to share my experience with Jess. I'm usually not someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera, but the atmosphere Jess creates is so friendly and relaxed that you simply feel at ease the whole time. It's like having a pleasant conversation while being photographed.

The results? I absolutely loved my photos. But beyond that, I found someone incredibly kind, with a big heart, who understood exactly what I needed and adapted without a single complaint, always making sure I felt comfortable during the session and happy with the outcome.”

I had a wonderful experience with Jessica Laforet Photography. She was kind, patient, and took her time with each shot to make sure everything was perfect. I especially appreciated how she helped me select my outfits and guided me through the process with such care. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a thoughtful and talented photographer!
