5 Locations For Outdoor and In-studio Family Session In Toronto

  1. Evergreen Brick Works

This place is also known as Don Valley Brick Works. It is a formal industrial site located near Toronto’s Don River Valley. During its nearly 100-year tenure, Don Valley Brick Works provided bricks for many famous places, such as the Ontario Legislature and Casa Loma. 

Soon after the factory’s closure, the authorities converted it into a park. Evergreen Brick Works gives a picturesque backdrop for family photoshoots, making it one of the most beautiful places to capture photos.

During the colder months, we love Mint Room Studios and Preto Loft for indoor family and cake smash sessions to celebrate your family’s milestones. Mint Room offers two premium studio spaces for rent close to the Junction area in Toronto – Mint Room Studios and the Preto Loft. Both of the studios are only a short fifteen-minute drive from downtown Toronto and only a five-minute drive from High Park.
