Corporate headshot pricing at BusinessPortraits.ca starts at $226.98 per individual portrait, with team-day rates quoted on configuration and three subscription tiers from $5,000 per year. Group discounts of 20% to 65% apply on team days. The 90-Day Pilot Program lets a firm run a single team day with full pilot-fee transfer as account credit.
Per individual portrait at the entry rate: a blurred-background session at your office. Adding a backdrop or a different location raises the rate.
Corporate headshot pricing at BusinessPortraits.ca starts at $226.98 for an individual portrait. The $226.98 entry rate covers a blurred-background portrait at your office: 5 to 20 minutes of shooting per person, professional lighting, a watermarked proof gallery within 2 business days, and one high-resolution retouched image. Adding a backdrop, extra retouched files, or a different location raises the rate.
The $226.98 floor covers a single professional booking a blurred-background portrait at the office, the kind used for LinkedIn, a partner refresh, a board page, or an investor relations photo. Backdrops are a paid upgrade: a White backdrop runs $264.98, and Colour or Concrete backdrops scale up from there. Additional retouched files, different locations, and other options are configured on the booking page, where each appears as a per-image or per-setup line item rather than a bundle.
Executive and investor relations portraits scale up from the entry rate. These sessions add longer shooting blocks, environmental setups, dramatic lighting, and board-grade or annual-report-grade deliverables. Pricing is set at the booking conversation because configuration drives the number: how many setups, what location, how many delivered files, what turnaround.
Across every individual session, the operational shape stays the same. The session is built around an on-screen review of thumbnails as the shoot progresses, so the subject sees the work in real time. For the full backdrop, location, and add-on options with live pricing, see the booking page configurator or use the estimator below.
A team day is priced per person, with a group discount that deepens as headcount rises. The discount runs from 20% at 2 or more people to 65% at 80 or more, calibrated to the number of people photographed per session day. For multi-day rollouts, the discount is set by per-day headcount. The worked examples below show the exact math.
Ten brackets, from 20% off at 2 people to 65% off at 80 or more. The bracket is set by the per-day headcount; multi-day rollouts use the per-day count, not the aggregate.
See team-day rollouts for the full operational walkthrough: multi-day scheduling, new-hire batches, group composites, and the team-day comparison.
A 25-person team day at the entry rate. 25 people falls in the 20 to 29 bracket, so a 35% group discount applies. The per-person rate drops from $226.98 to $147.54. The day is 25 multiplied by $147.54, which is $3,688.50. Example shown at the $226.98 entry rate; a backdrop or other configuration raises the per-person rate before the discount.
100 people across a 4-day rollout, 25 per day. Because the discount is set by per-day headcount, each of the 4 days is priced at the 25-person bracket: 35% off, $147.54 per person, $3,688.50 per day. Four days total $14,754.00. This is the same per-day group-discount logic used on the subscription page, and it applies consistently to every multi-day team rollout.
Corporate photography subscription at BusinessPortraits.ca runs on three tiers: Essential from $5,000 per year, Growth from $15,000 per year, and Enterprise from $30,000 per year. Account credit adds 10% on Essential, 15% on Growth, and 20% on Enterprise at annual payment. Quarterly payment is available at Growth and Enterprise tiers at 7.5% and 10% account credit. The mechanic is deposit, deduct, bonus credit.
Best for small to mid-size companies that book 1 to 3 corporate headshot and team portrait sessions per year.
Best for growing companies with quarterly team sessions, on-demand new-hire sessions, or event coverage needs.
Best for large organizations with ongoing photography needs across multiple departments or GTA locations.
The subscription mechanic is deposit plus deduct plus bonus credit. The deposit is the Prepaid Amount the firm commits at the start of the 12-month term. Deliverables draw from the Credit Balance at BusinessPortraits.ca's standard published rates as work ships, with standard group discounts applied. The bonus is the Account Credit added on top of the deposit, calculated as a percentage of the Prepaid Amount based on tier and payment structure. Credit applies across all three delivery modes: in-studio, on-location, and outdoor.
Credit covers sessions, prints, executive portraits, and event coverage (Growth and Enterprise tiers). Video production services are excluded from credit and invoiced separately per project. If the Credit Balance is depleted before the end of the 12-month term, the firm continues booking at a discounted rate equal to the tier's Account Credit percentage, with standard group discounts applied first and the subscriber discount applied to the group-discounted rate. Subscriber benefits, including priority booking, faster delivery, and dedicated account management, remain active for the rest of the term regardless of Credit Balance. For the full tier perk list and Subscription Terms, see subscription tiers.
The 90-Day Pilot Program is the first-time-buyer entry to corporate photography subscription. A firm runs a single team day under pilot terms with subscriber-level service. If the firm converts to an annual Subscription within 30 days of the pilot period's conclusion, 100% of the amount paid during the pilot is applied as Credit toward the first Subscription Term. Pilot pricing is set per firm and is not published.
The pilot is built for firms evaluating subscription who want to run a real team day under subscriber-level service before committing to a 12-month term. The deliverable shape during the pilot mirrors a standard team day: mobile setup, consecutive scheduling, proof gallery in 2 business days, and retouched files on the subscriber delivery timeline. Subscriber perks during the pilot include the custom scheduling page, dedicated session coordination, and a custom How-To-Prepare and style guide.
The conversion mechanic is the structural reason the pilot works as a low-commitment entry. The pilot fee transfers in full as Credit when the firm signs an annual Subscription within 30 days of the pilot period's conclusion. No portion of the pilot fee is forfeited at conversion. To inquire about pilot pricing for your firm's configuration, request a quote and reference the 90-Day Pilot Program.
Delivery times scale with subscription level at BusinessPortraits.ca. The proof gallery ships in 2 business days for every session, subscriber or non-subscriber. Retouched files ship in 8 business days for non-subscribers, 5 business days for Essential and Growth subscribers, and 3 business days for Enterprise subscribers. Rush delivery is available as a per-session add-on for non-subscribers and as complimentary inclusions per term for subscribers.
BusinessPortraits.ca delivers sessions three ways: in-studio at a controlled private-studio space, on-location at your firm's office, and outdoors at a preferred environmental setting. Mobile coverage to your office uses the same equipment as the private-studio space and produces consistent results. Travel over 60 km from the operational base adds a fee set during the booking conversation.
In-studio · controlled private-studio spaceIn-studio sessions are delivered in a private-studio environment that BusinessPortraits.ca operates. The space is reserved exclusively for the booking party for the full session window. The format is best for individual portraits, executive portraits, investor relations work, and small group sittings where a controlled lighting environment matters and the firm prefers to send people to the studio rather than bring the studio to the office.
On-location · mobile setup at your officeOn-location coverage brings the mobile setup to the firm's office. The same lighting kit, the same backdrops, and the same camera systems used in-studio are used on-location, and the image-quality standards do not change. Setup runs 30 minutes on arrival and teardown 20 minutes at the end. This is the standard format for team days, AGMs, and event coverage where the team is already at the office.
Outdoor · environmental settingsOutdoor sessions are delivered at the firm's preferred environmental location: a rooftop, building exterior, urban setting, or corporate campus. Pricing follows the same per-session or team-day framing as in-studio and on-location, with weather contingency built into the scheduling conversation. Outdoor portraits are common for editorial use and brand campaigns where environment is part of the visual story, and for technology and creative firms whose brand calls for an environmental setting rather than a controlled studio.

An estimate across all three pricing models, calibrated to your team size, format, and cadence. Final pricing is set during the booking conversation.
A corporate headshot at BusinessPortraits.ca starts at $226.98 for an individual portrait: a blurred-background session at your office, 5 to 20 minutes of shooting, professional lighting, a proof gallery in 2 business days, and one retouched image. Adding a backdrop raises the rate, for example a White backdrop at $264.98. Extra retouched files run $54.98 each. Final pricing depends on backdrop, location, and the number of edited images.
Per-session pricing fits individual portraits and executive sessions, from $226.98 per person. A team day fits firm rollouts of 2 or more people photographed in one visit, with a group discount of 20% to 65% by per-day headcount. A subscription fits firms with recurring photography across the year: a firm deposits at its tier, deducts deliverables from credit as work ships, and gains a bonus account credit of 10%, 15%, or 20%. Per session is for one face; a team day is for one rollout; a subscription is for a year of work.
The group discount is set by the number of people photographed per session day, not the total across days. A team of 100 photographed across 4 days at 25 people per day gets the 25-person bracket (35% off) applied to each day. Each session day is a full professional setup, so each day is priced on its own headcount. The same logic applies to multi-location rollouts.
Each tier adds account credit on top of the deposit. Essential: a $5,000 deposit plus 10% credit totals $5,500 of spendable credit. Growth: a $15,000 deposit plus 15% annual credit totals $17,250, or 7.5% on quarterly payment for $16,125. Enterprise: a $30,000 deposit plus 20% annual credit totals $36,000, or 10% quarterly for $33,000. Higher tiers also add faster delivery, more complimentary rush deliveries, and priority booking.
The 90-Day Pilot Program is the first-time-buyer entry to subscription. A firm runs a single team day under pilot terms with subscriber-level service. If the firm converts to an annual Subscription within 30 days of the pilot period's conclusion, 100% of the amount paid during the pilot transfers as Credit toward the first Subscription Term. No portion of the pilot fee is forfeited at conversion. Pilot pricing is set per firm.
Cities directly served at no additional travel fee include Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Newmarket, Aurora, and Richmond Hill. Travel over 60 km from the operational base adds a fee set at the booking conversation. BusinessPortraits.ca travels anywhere a client books, including across Canada and internationally. Subscription clients may apply annual account credit toward travel fees.
Team-day pricing depends on variables that materially change the project: team size, session format, location, rush turnaround, and add-ons such as extra retouched files or additional backdrops. The per-person rate and group discount are fixed by published rules, but the final project total depends on the configuration. A short booking conversation sets the configuration, and the project quote follows.
Every booking gets a proof gallery in 2 business days. Retouched files ship in 8 business days for non-subscribers. Subscribers receive them faster: 5 business days on Essential and Growth, 3 business days on Enterprise. Firms that need a specific session faster can add rush delivery, available at 2-business-day, 24-hour, and same-day tiers; subscribers receive a set of complimentary rush deliveries each term.
Every inquiry receives a reply within one business day. Whether you are booking a single portrait, planning a 100-person team day, or weighing the three subscription tiers, BusinessPortraits.ca sets the configuration in one conversation.
