Home for the Holidays
It is now only two weeks until Christmas! We are excited, as this is a fun time of year for baking, shopping, wrapping gifts, attending Christmas concerts, and various other winter activities as a family.
Quite often, people have photos taken in December to send out with a newsletter to their family and friends in the new year. This is a great option for those of you who won’t be with family until Christmas. Are your kids, siblings, grandkids, etc all going to be together at Christmas? It is a great time to have photos taken while everyone is home for the holidays! While the family is together, spend some time capturing those moments to look back on for years to come. Whether it be decorating the tree, indulging in some delicious baking, opening presents, making a snowman, or simply playing games in the living room. We’d love to be there to capture those precious moments for you!

Christmas is coming fast…don’t forget about Christmas cards!
This recent snowfall has reminded me of how quickly Christmas is coming. What an exciting time! What are some of your favourite traditions leading up to the holidays? Between now and the New Year, our family receives an abundance of Christmas cards from family and friends. I love reading their updates, hearing about what they have planned for the upcoming year, and most of all, seeing a family photo with the card.
Each year, your family changes; kids start growing up, and your extended family and loved ones want to visually experience those special transitions in your life. One of the best gifts to give at Christmas is a professional portrait of your family. Keep in mind that there is only a limited number of weeks until Christmas, and that family photos should be booked sooner than later! Book an appointment today to schedule your shoot before spaces fill up.
