TORONTO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
At Home
There’s nothing more real and authentic than a family photo shoot in your own home. No matter how big or small your space, we make it work. To make your shoot even more special we suggest planning a fun activity like baking cookies, or setting up a tent or picnic in the backyard. Tight on outdoor space, let’s head over to a park nearby for some outdoor fun.

Our quality is better than ever, in-fact we are now even more focused on delivering better images and an amazing experience.
We hope you will use MANGO more frequently for the smaller celebrations and events in your life, from birthdays to Thanksgiving family Photo shoots.
Due to COVID , the Weddings and Events industry has been hit hard.
Our goal is GET BACK TO WORK, create beautiful content for our clients, and support our teams so they can work more regularly.
HOW ARE WE ABLE TO DO THIS?
At MANGO, we have deep roots in technology and innovation. When things got really challenging this year, we decided this was the time to innovate.
In the last few months, we built a digital booking platform, and equipped our team with a mobile MANGO Photographer app, where they can automatically be connected to smaller more frequent Photo Shoots near them.
We have big plans for the tech we’ve built and deployed. The first step is offer our loyal customers great value so that you will use MANGO more often, and support our Photography team.

What to expect during the session?
Our on-location (think park, your home, the beach) family photo sessions are typically 45 minutes to 2 hours long, and you can expect us prompting you rather than directing. We will document you hanging out in your home, walking in a park or having breakfast together. Things that you do as a family.
How do I prepare for the shoot?
Natural light:
As a natural light family photographer, we pay a lot of attention to light. Make sure that the room you want us to photograph in your house is naturally well lit and has a large window. The gentle morning light provides for the most flattering portraits and brings out that magic glow.
Polish your space:
Here at MANGO, we pride ourselves on a clean and polished style of family photographs. We kindly ask you to prep your home for your upcoming family session and keep it free of clutter. Without clutter to draw your eyes in different directions, you look deeper into the moments captured 😉
Outdoor family sessions:
If your session is outdoors, whether it’s a beach or your favourite park, we recommend bringing a few props such as a picnic blanket and your kids’ favourite toys to keep them happy.
Can I add more time to my family photo shoot?
Simply call or email the studio at 416-366-4723 or email info@mangostudios.com , you can also email your photographer directly.
We can help guide you on how much time you’ll need. If you’re not sure, email your Photographer after your connected and we’ll share more information.
You can also add time at your session, but there is a chance that we have a session after yours so it might not be possible. Planning ahead of time is the best option.
