Hi! I'm Trina- a Toronto-based photographer with over 25 years of experience creating images that work hard for my clients to communicate their brand messaging, drive their online sales, and boost their marketing. I specialize in creating custom photographs that highlight all the best aspects of your product or service in the CPG space. I am passionate about contributing to my client's successes through product, food, and lifestyle photography. Based in Toronto's Leaside neighbourhood I host clients at my studio or can shoot remotely for companies who aren't local.

A Maritime based food and beverage distributor, we help growth-oriented brands expand efficiently across Atlantic Canada.

I tailor my services to meet your unique needs by combining proven branding principles with fresh, innovative thinking. Based in Ontario, collaborating clients across Canada, the US and beyond. I’ll help you build a brand that doesn’t just look good — it’ll drive results.

We help you get things done. If you need a plan, we'll help you build it. If you have a plan, we'll execute it. If you have an idea but don't know how to move it forward, we'll help with that too. We've worked in and run businesses across multiple channels, over many years. If you need help getting stuff done, we can help. We're the difference between "someone should figure this out" and "someone knows how to do it and gets it done." Idea to reality. Planning to execution. We're not the specialists you call for one narrow skill. We're who you call when you need help making things work. Client work stays confidential, but we're happy to walk through what we've done and how it might apply to you.

I partner with founders and leadership teams at growing CPG and food & beverage businesses to build the finance and accounting infrastructure needed to scale. I’ve sat in the CFO seat across multiple high-growth companies, helping businesses navigate growth from roughly $15M to $150M+ in revenue. My work spans financial strategy, forecasting and modeling, accounting and reporting infrastructure, cash and working capital management, COGS and margin optimization, KPI development, and decision support for founders, boards, and investors. At Little Spoon, I built the Finance & Accounting function from the ground up as the business scaled from approximately $15M to $200M+ in revenue and led the financial and operational work behind the largest food & beverage launch in Target history. I’m most useful when a business has outgrown basic bookkeeping or accounting support but doesn’t yet need—or isn’t ready for—a full-time CFO. I can help build the systems, reporting, processes, and financial discipline required for the next stage of growth while remaining hands-on enough to get into the details when needed. I’ve worked across multiple industries, with particularly deep experience in high-growth consumer and CPG businesses. My focus is always the same: give leadership better visibility into the economics of the business, improve profitability and cash management, and create a finance function that helps the company make faster, better decisions.
