The studio you choose makes all the difference to your Christmas photos — the light, the set, the whole feeling of the image. I'm Jo, and for my 2026 Christmas mini sessions I hand-pick and style sets across three of the best studios in Toronto and the GTA. Here are the top rooms this year, ranked — and why booking them with Jo Anto Photography is the best way to get the photos you'll actually treasure.

#1 — Glasshouse Studios: Sophia Room (Richmond Hill)
"Pearl Reverie" — heirloom pearls, soft ivory and antique gold, with bright, soft, elegant light. It's my most-booked room for a reason: timeless, refined, and flattering on everyone from a newborn to three generations. Pets welcome. (Full look at the Sophia Room.)
**Studio Decor is different this year
#2 — Ruby Manor: Milan Room (Brampton)
Two gorgeous looks in one room — a chic black-and-white-and-silver side, and a soft-cream side with a panelled wall and frosted trees. Bright, elegant and luxurious, inside a restored 1862 heritage home. (Full look at Ruby Manor.)

#3 — Icon Studio Space: Iconic Room (Toronto)
Two sets in one grand space — "The Nutcracker House" in burgundy and gold, and a soft white-and-champagne look — under twelve-foot windows and elegant arches. Right in the city, timeless and magical. (Full look at Icon Studio Space.)
#4 — Ruby Manor: Paris Room (Brampton)
"Christmas in Paris" — timeless whites and elegant golds, French-inspired and sophisticated. Bright, charming and classic; a favourite for couples and elegant family portraits.

#5 — Glasshouse Studios: Amalia Room (Richmond Hill)
"Midnight Noël" — old-world elegance, antique gold and candlelight, soft and moody. Celestial, magical, and beautiful for a warm, atmospheric holiday look. Pets welcome.

Special mention — Icon Studio Space: Art Room (Toronto)
"Floating Wishes" — soft white, pearl details and floating ornaments, bright and dreamy. Luminous and elegant when you want something a little different.
