I photograph people in a way that feels easy, honest, and true to who they are, because the best photos happen when you look, and most importantly feel like yourself.

Planning A Wedding?

Make Sure To Get Photography Coverage That Fits YOU.

No two weddings look the same and your photography coverage shouldn’t either. Whether you are eloping at Toronto City Hall and celebrating with a cocktail style reception with friends and family afterwards, or you are having a full-day celebration, your photography coverage will be faced around whats most important to you.

Looking To Update Your Professional Headshots?

I photograph professionals, creatives, and everyday people in a way that feels confident, natural, and approachable.

If you're thinking, “I have no idea how to pose,” you're not alone. Most of my clients say the same thing, and they still walk away with images they love. I guide each person with simple and comfortable direction so the photos feel like them. Not forced, not awkward, just honest and confident.

Jessica Laforet - About Me!

Most people feel a little unsure in front of the camera.
They worry about how they’ll look, what to do, or whether the photos will feel like them.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Jessica Laforet, a Toronto-based photographer who helps people feel comfortable and confident so their photos reflect who they are. Whether you’re getting married, updating your headshot, or capturing a moment with your family, my goal is the same: to create honest images in a relaxed, collaborative way.

You don’t need to know how to pose or have it all figured out. I’ll guide you through the process and keep things easy and grounded so you can just be yourself.

When I’m not working, I’m usually in the west end of Toronto with my partner in search of the best ice cream or deciding the next roll of film I am going to shoot with and where. I’m naturally curious about people and how photography can honour the stories they carry.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to connect.
