Jessica Blaine Smith Photography | Blog bio picture
  • Hello + Welcome!

    My name is Jessica and I’m a photographer! I photograph pretty much anything that involves people – whether it be a wedding, a baby, a family, a corporate headshot or an editorial portrait. I love photographing people! Portrait photography is about capturing the personality of the person in the image. When I create my portraits my goal is to seize that essence that makes you an individual. I approach each portrait session as if it is my first. I have been photographing professionally for seven years and hold a BFA in Photography Studies from Ryerson University.

    Welcome to my photography world! This site is primarily used as a blog so that I can show off all of my latest and greatest work! Scroll down below to see the most recent. If you are interested in viewing some photographs in a specific category - whether it be weddings, boudoir or maternity - please look under "Galleries" on the menu above. If you are looking for something even more specific: type it into the search box.

    Enjoy!

Vintage Summer Portrait Parties!

I am hosting an upcoming portrait party! Click here for more details.

Suzanne + Endi are Married!

Suzanne + Endi are a great couple. They really balance one another out. It was such a pleasure to photograph them on their big day. Endi was all smiles when I arrived to photograph his “getting ready” – although I suspect that he is normally all smiles, everyday!  I absolutely LOVED Suzanne’s dress, headpiece, hair – the whole ensemble was gorgeous! Their ceremony took place at the stunning Trinity Chapel at the University of Toronto. I loved the natural light that flowed into this space. We then headed to the harbourfront for formal photos (number one request: Suzanne + Endi with a boat!). The reception was held at the Columbus Centre on Lawrence Avenue West. Imagine dining with a backdrop of art – I love it!  Congratulations Suzanne + Endi!

You should all know by now that I do love a good streetcar shot!

I love families.

You may recognize Scarlett and her Mom from a portrait session that I did with them earlier in the year. That session had been a surprise for Scarlett’s Dad and after he received the photos, they decided to schedule another session that included the entire family. I love photographing family sessions! I think that it is so important to have a record of the time together, no matter the age of the kids. I also adored Scarlett’s red dance outfit and the fact that she is allowed to wear Mom’s heels!

New Boudoir Portraits

Hello Headshots!

I am not sure if you have seen it yet, but I am currently having a special on Headshot Portraits! Having a great headshot is important for anyone who wants to be taken seriously. Whether you are a business person or a social media guru, you need to have an image that truly shows you and shows just what you are all about. Sessions can take place either in my studio or on-location somewhere. I work with you to make the portraits truly represent you. You can see more details about my special here and please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in booking a session!

Here are some images from recent sessions with the lovely Jane (Twitter: geekychichi) and Paul of Impact 360 Degrees Inc.
