Portrait studio · 20 min from downtown Montréal

For people who don’t
think they photograph well.

A small studio in Pointe-Claire. Every frame previews on a 27″ screen as we shoot — you can redo any one, any time. Sessions $175 to $650. Most clients spend $325.

Who's the portrait for?

Three audiences, three rooms in the same studio. Pick the one that fits and the rest of the experience adapts to you.

Why Phixo

Different on purpose.

Four things we do that most studios don't, and that most clients didn't know they needed.

01

Tethered, together

Every shot lands on the screen beside you. You direct as much as you want to.

02

Climate-controlled studio

Lighting, temperature, music — none of it depends on the weather.

03

Built for the camera-shy

You don't need to know how to pose. That's our job.

04

Real you, not a brand

No templated "personal brand photographer" energy. Quiet, considered, yours.

How a session works

Four small steps.

Most people have never booked a portrait session. Here's the whole shape of it before you commit to anything.

  1. 01

    Inquire

    One short form. Replies usually within a day.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A short call to talk through outfits, look, and the day.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    You sit, we shoot, you see every frame as we go.

  4. 04

    Receive gallery

    Online gallery within a week. Pick favourites, we retouch.

What people say after

"I didn't think I'd like being photographed."

The most common sentence we hear at the end of a session. Real words from real clients — testimonials below to be replaced with the real ones.

"

I came in dreading the whole thing. I left with a headshot I actually use, and a strange sense that I knew myself better than when I walked in.

The tether screen changed everything. I could see what we were doing and ask to redo a shot without it being awkward. By image five I was just talking, not posing.

Our family photos finally look like our family. Not a stiff Christmas card — like the actual people we are.
