What to Wear
Pick outfits that go with the set. Soft neutrals look good on white and cream sets. Deep reds and greens work well on classic sets with a tree and lights. Try to avoid big logos and very busy patterns.
Booking Tips
“Book early. The best dates and the Toronto studios sell out first,” says Joseph Antony of Jo Anto Photography. He also says cancellations or reschedules need at least 7 days’ notice for his sessions, so read each studio’s rules before you pay.
What Happens Next
Toronto studios usually fill their December weekends first. If you want photos before the holidays, book this month. Most studios deliver photos in one to three weeks, so you will still have time to print cards.
