Left of Centre Photography Services is a unique, service oriented company formed in early 2004 by photographers Amy Douglas and Jeff Wilkinson. After meeting and working together for two years at a large Toronto studio, they formed LOCPS to provide a different option to the high volume studio - an option where the approach is relaxed yet professional, where fun and frivolity are captured, and where the client experience and their needs are paramount.

We are Professional Photographers. And this is our Anthem.

As a graduate of Sheridan College's esteemed Applied Photography course, Amy specialized in the commercial aspects of photography when entering her professional life. In the years since, she has a developed a passion for photographing maternity, newborns and small children in a studio session, capturing the fleeting, candid moments that life provides. Her exacting eye for perfection - hey, she married Jeff! - and exceptional Photoshop skills are valuable assets in today's photographic climate.

Over six years experience at a high-end studio to start his photography career was enough to show Jeff that his true strength lies in the photography of people. A master at making people at ease in front of the lens with a story or a bad joke, he has the ability to capture the subject's essence almost effortlessly. Now, after twenty years in the photography field, Jeff is always looking for the next challenge, with the goal of continuing to impress his clients by providing images that far surpass their expectations.

Together, Amy and Jeff form a dynamic pair that offers an enthusiastic photography team to tackle any project. Utilizing the latest in digital photography techniques, Left of Centre Photography Services is tailored for the client who expects quality.

Since its inception, LOCPS has been located in the historic downtown of Georgetown, Ontario. They moved into their first location on Mill Street in September of 2004, and quickly outgrew the store. Exactly one year later, Amy and Jeff moved the business into 124 Main Street South, turning the downstairs into a vibrant office and studio space, built a stunning outdoor portrait garden, and lived upstairs!

Their current location (and last one, according to Jeff!) is also on Main Street South - 159, to be exact - in a wonderful Arts and Crafts style home that dates back to 1923. From this home base, Amy and Jeff are able to provide a cozy and comfortable studio environment for indoor sessions – as well as a wonderful outdoor portrait garden, which backs onto a stunning wooded ravine. Although only a scant forty-five minute drive from Toronto, the surrounding farm land and natural beauty of the town makes one feel like you’re a lot further away from the big city.

After photographing countless weddings, Amy and Jeff themselves were married in 2008, and in 2009 welcomed their first child - a son named Quinn, followed shortly after by their daughter Savannah in 2012. Although they are not quite old enough to join the company as photographers (although Q tries), they've been known to act as comic relief at sessions, and seem to know what to do in front of the camera...sometimes!
