Hi There

My name is Farida.  I am a photographer located in Toronto, Canada.  I have been in the business of capturing families memories for the last 10 years and during that time I have made maternity and newborn photography my specialty.  Thank you for visiting my website, feel free to have a look around 🙂

Newborn

I have been humbily referred to as a baby whisperer, that title comes after working with literally hundreds of babies.  My style of newborn photography is clean and timeless with the emphasis being on the baby through beautiful lighting.

Maternity

Editorial, fashion-inspired maternity photography.  If that is what you are looking for you have found the right place.  My studio is equipped with the lighting, backdrops and wardrobe to create images that look like they came right out of a spread in a magazine.

Families

I know how important your family is to you, it’s your entire world.  My job is to represent that love in images so that you can pass them on for generations, print them and have them live in your home and share with your family and friends.

A few things they are saying about me

Working with Farida for both our Maternity and Newborn photoshoot was a better experience than anything we could have hoped for! Whether you have any experience in front of the camera or not, she will make you feel comfortable to achieve the images you are looking for.  With the maternity photoshoot, she offeres 5 different looks-many may not want to invest in 5 dresses they will grow out of shortly and never wear again.  This is why I was excited to see that Farida offers a closet for bowering, full of maternity wear with a wide variety of styles to fit many tastes!  The newborn photoshoot was something many parents can stress about since teeny babies are so unpredictable!  Farida’s evident expertise with newborns put all worries at ease.  She’s patient through all the ups and downs of a typical newborn’s schedule.  The feedings, crying, soothing, diaper-less messes, she’s there to assist and work with you through it until she gets you the absolutle best photos!  Not to mention she’s an olympic level swaddler!! Thank you Farida for such a great experience, we will endlessly recommend you!

I can’t wait to book you for our newborn photoshoot when baby decided to join us.

– AWESOME CLIENT –

Farida was an absolute pleasure to work with! Being 33 weeks pregnant isn’t exactly a comfortable time, however Farida made this photoshoot a seamless experience!

I got my hair and makeup done through Melissa, which Farida coordinated for me. It was as easy as showing up, sitting in a chair, getting all dolled up, changing into my outfit and then getting my photos taken.

Farida was kind, patient and understanding throughout the whole process. Not once did I feel nervous and nor did my lip quiver as it normally would. Farida guided my husband and I shot after shot and she was detail oriented. Melissa also stayed for the entire shoot and would touch my hair as needed or fix my outfit when required.

My husband and I received the edited pictures today; they turned out so beautiful and exactly how I had envisioned them. Farida was extremely professional and delivered the final pictures within the timelines she originally provided.

Thank you Farida for being so awesome ❤️
