Welcome to your new safe space, the Sanctuary! Our

We fully believe that the kitchen is the heart of

We fully believe that the kitchen is the heart of a home and over the years we've received numerous requests to build a kitchen that is versatile while being beautiful, modern, bright, and fully functional! 🤍⁠⁠
 ⁠⁠
We considered all your feedback and went to work. Today we are announcing another one of our newest studios, the Kitchen! ⁠⁠
 ⁠⁠
Our bright space features a modern kitchen with trendy open shelves, sage cabinets (We had to pick a shade that resembles mint! 😉 ) with gold hardware, a stunning backsplash with beautiful veins and an oversized marble island. This space is perfect for cooking classes, food blogger shoots, engagement photography, intimate events or a fun family shoot!⁠⁠
 ⁠⁠
We know quality doesn’t stop with the design! We chose the top-of-the-line appliances including a Wolf stovetop, Subzero fridge and Miele appliances for a full kitchen experience. ⁠⁠
 ⁠⁠
The rest of the space is furnished with wicker bar stools and a fluted island base for a trendy touch. There is a dining area on the other side of the room that we know you’re going to love and we will share the design soon! ✨⁠

We’ve been hinting at the new rooms we’ll be o

We’ve been hinting at the new rooms we’ll be opening at Mint Room and we’re so excited to share the first of four! ✨⁠⁠
 ⁠⁠Our newest addition is the Salon! Inspired by slow living, simple yet chic and styled to perfection, the Salon is a monochromatic living room that you won’t want to leave. ⁠⁠

The pieces in the room include a vintage modular sofa with clean lines, an oversized timeless floor mirror, a neutral light rug, a vintage travertine coffee table along with silk cream draperies and modern print art. Two arched bookshelves are placed on each side of the vintage wooden fireplace which features white herringbone tiling. 🤍⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The space itself has white floors and a wall with minimalist wainscotting for variety. The Salon is as grand as its name: modern, elegant and oh so, sophisticated! The gorgeous branch on the mantle was sourced and styled by the design geniuses at @flowers_time and our shelf styling was done by the talented @petalsandpearls. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We’re so excited to share a first sneak peek of our newest addition and we cannot wait to see what our community creates in it! 🥰⁠⁠

What is the best way to celebrate summer and the studio reopening (finally)? 🌸 A new summer setup, of course! We’ve been dreaming about something special for a very long time and invited one of our favourite designers, Katya from @caprice_decor to create something extra special! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are so pleased to announce our newest summer installation, Secret Garden in the White Loft! We received so many lovely requests for a magical and sweet summer setup with lots of florals. This design was inspired by the idea of coming across a magical spot where Magnolia trees blossom all year round. Inviting and dreamy, Secret Garden is exactly what we’ve all been longing for: a new beginning, fresh starts, growth, and regeneration! 🌟⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The walls are painted in different shades of pink for a fun and modern vibe. We also added a trendy yet minimalistic wicker bench and a few distressed vintage area rugs to complete the setup along with pillows so you can get comfy. 💓⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As we watched this setup come to life, we couldn’t help but dream about all the maternity photoshoots that can happen there, all the engagement and birthday photos, "mommy and me" and branding sessions or "just for fun" moments. Secret Garden is available now in our White Loft until August 16th!✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We can’t wait to see you! ⁠⁠

The day we’ve ALL been waiting for: we’re officially OPEN for all bookings! As of Wednesday, June 30th, Ontario is in stage two of the reopening plan and we can resume ALL types of photography (personal, family, maternity, engagement, you name it!). 🤍⁠
⁠
Since you may have last visited us, we’ve made a few changes! We have extended all the walls to the ceiling in our Ballroom, Conservatory, Lounge and Library so each room has maximum privacy and audio recording within the studio is easier without sound interference. ⁠

⁠
⁠
✨ Block off a half-hour between bookings for sanitization⁠
⁠
✨ Running air purification in each studio ⁠
⁠
✨ Have each guest complete a safety check-in before your booking ⁠
⁠
✨Temporarily closing makeup tables in the common area⁠
⁠
✨ Enforcing a mandatory mask policy ⁠in common areas ⁠
⁠
✨ Automate check-ins to limit contact ⁠
⁠
✨ Enforce a capacity limit of 5 people per booking ⁠
⁠
✨ Encouraging social distancing practices and offering hand sanitizer at the check-in desk ⁠
⁠
As always, please ask us any questions you have or visit our website for our full COVID-19 studio safety protocols!⁠
