Testimonials

  • My dog and I were treated like royalty from the moment we came in. The photo session itself was effortless and I loved how engaging the photographer was with Milo, she did an amazing job at getting his attention. When they played the initial presentation of all the shots, I could not stop crying from how beautiful the shots were and how great everything was captured.

    Kanwal Asif

  • Our photographer was wonderful at capturing what we wanted our family to look like- and she was great with our dog as well! We were worried about having him in the picture, but he did so well under her direction. This is truly an experience, not just a photo. We will definitely be returning to update our family portrait in the years to come.

What to Expect

At Motif Fine Portraits, we believe the bond you share with your pet is one of life’s most meaningful relationships, and it deserves to be celebrated with the same care, beauty, and permanence as any family legacy.

The Booking Process

To secure your session, we require a fully refundable $250 booking deposit. This ensures your date is reserved and allows us to prepare a truly personalized experience. Your deposit will be applied toward any artwork you choose—or refunded if you decide not to purchase.

The Gold-Carpet Experience

Your portrait session takes place in our pet-friendly Toronto studio, where every detail has been designed with comfort and connection in mind. You’ll enjoy:

  • A warm welcome in a beautiful, thoughtfully designed space

  • Private dressing rooms for getting ready

  • A 30-minute portrait session with expert posing, lighting, and guidance

  • Light snacks and refreshments for you, and treats on hand for your pet

  • A same-day cinematic viewing and ordering appointment to select your favorite portraits

The Artwork

As part of your experience, you’ll receive a $1,000 credit to use toward your custom artwork. Our heirloom portraits come in a range of sizes, finishes, and display options, with artwork investments beginning at $1,000.

You’re welcome to use your credit toward a beautiful piece within that range — or take the opportunity to invest in larger or additional pieces to create a collection that truly reflects your story. Explore our collections for more.

Each portrait is crafted with museum-quality materials — meant not just to be seen, but to be cherished and passed down through generations.

 FAQs

  • We collect a refundable $250 booking deposit to reserve your session. This deposit secures two hours of dedicated studio time and ensures our team is ready for your family. The deposit will be fully refunded as long as you:

    1. Arrive on time (within a 10-minute grace period).

    2. Provide at least two weeks' notice if you need to cancel, reschedule, or change your party size.

    We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we’re always happy to work with you in special situations.

  • Our studio is located in Toronto at 26 Densley Ave Unit 2, North York, ON M6M 2R1

  • There’s no obligation to purchase beyond your booking deposit. You’ll receive a $1000 artwork credit, which covers a beautifully finished 8x10 heirloom portrait. During your viewing session, you’ll have the option to invest in larger or additional pieces if you’d like.

  • We recommend formal attire in dark, solid colors like black, navy, or jewel tones. These timeless tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on connection and expression. Avoid white, bright colors, or busy patterns, as they can distract from the overall aesthetic.

    For your pet, keep things simple and classic — a clean collar, subtle accessory, or even a bowtie can add a personal touch without overwhelming the image. Just be sure it’s something your pet is comfortable wearing.

  • While dogs and cats are most common, we welcome all pets that are comfortable indoors and safe in a studio environment. If you’re unsure, just ask — we’re happy to discuss accommodations.

  • Absolutely, as long as all pets are comfortable together and with people, we’d love to include them. Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring more than one so we can prepare accordingly.
