What photography services do you offer?

At Tea & Oranges, I specialize in commercial and editorial photography with a strong focus on portraiture. My services include corporate headshots, LinkedIn profile photos, actor and artist headshots, dating profile photos, branding sessions, product photography (like jewellery and beauty items), and select event coverage. My appreciation for fine art shapes every image I make. Whether you’re a business or an individual, my goal is to create authentic, impactful images that align with your vision.

Do you offer studio or on-location photography sessions?

I offer both studio and on-location sessions. My studio in Villeray is cozy and well equipped, ideal for painterly light and polished portraits. For convenience or a brand-specific setting, I’m also happy to photograph on location, whether that’s your office or another space that suits your project.

Are you available for destination photography assignments?

I’m happy to travel anywhere in the world for the right project, and I work regularly in Montreal and in Perth, Western Australia. Feel free to contact me to discuss your project and check my availability.

Are your photos retouched?

All my photos are gently edited in my signature style. My aim is to make you look like you on your best day. I don’t do extensive retouching, such as altering body shapes or features.

What should I wear?

Ultimately, it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and confident—wear something that feels like you. I usually recommend choosing neutral colors and avoiding busy patterns, as these can distract from your face and the overall portrait. If you’re unsure, bring a few outfit options to your session, and I’ll take some time beforehand to help you pick the best look for your headshots, portraits, or branding photos.

Should I hire a professional makeup artist?

Again, this is totally up to you. It isn’t necessary, but the makeup artist I recommend works with photographers a lot, so she really knows what looks good on camera. She can make you look like you’re not wearing makeup but happen to have effortlessly flawless skin and chiselled features ;). Makeup can be added to your session for $175 + tax.

Does she do makeup for men too?

Yes, definitely!

Do you shoot weddings?

I photograph a limited number of weddings in Montreal and Perth. To ask about my availability, send me your wedding date, location and any special details, and I’ll get back to you promptly.
