Study Days & Test Sessions

Studio Days offer on-demand photography experience without the commitment of a full-length session. This is perfect for models, influencers, and those seeking professional-quality images such as headshots or portraits for websites and portfolios. 

We announce openings for Studio Days quarterly—from brand-focused shoots to creatively stylized sets. Sessions typically range between 30 minutes to one hour, with pricing from $200 to $450. Final cost and duration depends on location, concept, and additional vendor involvement.

FAQ

  • Test shoots are photo shoots that are designed to give photographers and models the opportunity to explore different techniques, lighting setups, and creative concepts to enhance their portfolios. During Mini Test Sessions, we collaborate closely with makeup artists, set designers, and other professionals to create fully realized, creative imagery to level up your portfolio.

  • We will be hosting studio sessions periodically (4 times) throughout the year when demand is high. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know!

  • Due to the time restrictions, we allow a maximum of 2 people per time block.

  • You will receive a gallery of 10 colour corrected images. If you can’t decide on just 10, we offer additional colour corrected images for $12 per image or you can purchase the entire gallery for $200.

  • If you're bringing your own outfits, we recommend bringing no more than 2 outfits. Keep in mind that outfit changes will cut into the session time, so we recommend wearing layers that you can remove to give your images some variety!

    Periodically we will curate events with a stylist's session included!

  • For model test shoots, depending on the concept, a prop stylist and/or props may be included.

    For a general mini portrait session, we do not have props on hand, but you are welcome to bring your own. Please plan ahead and bring items that you wish to feature in your images. Common props among past clients include phones, laptops, notebooks, and business stationery.

  • Once we receive notification that you have made your selections, you can expect to receive your colour corrected gallery within 5-7 business days.

  • You may reschedule your session with 48 hours notice. Please note payments are non-refundable, and often mini sessions are produced on demand.

  • For model test shoots, we will periodically work with makeup and hair artists, and you will have the opportunity to book with the artist through the application form.

    For general portrait mini sessions, we do not necessarily have any makeup or hair artists booked, so we encourage you to arrange that on your own.

  • The images from our mini sessions can be used in your portfolio, online, social media, and in small-medium sized print. If you require large-format print photography, or additional usage terms, feel free to reach out!
