family portrait

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!

Looking for a unique and special gift for a loved one this Christmas? We also have an amazing gift idea for you – Purchase a gift certificate of any amount, and get the session fee as our gift to YOU!

Contact Miko Photography today to book your family photos while everyone is home for the holidays! You won’t regret capturing those special memories.

A family portrait is a treasure at any time – but Summer provides such a wonderful opportunity to capture the joy of a family at play.

This Summer, why not create a lasting memory and a unique piece of art, with a portrait taken outside in the beauty of nature.

Here’s a tip for a wonderful Summer portrait:

• If you have young children, portraits of them playing in the water will bring a smile to your face for years to come.
• If your family has a special place such as a farm or cabin – or even just a favourite spot in the local park – this is a wonderful backdrop for a fun, relaxed portrait.

We also recommend you bring the following to your Summer portrait:

• Sunscreen on hot days
• Clothing you feel comfortable in
• Insect repellent – just in case!
• Props (if the location does not have a lot of playful options)
• Cold drinks and snacks for younger ones

Miko Photography is now taking bookings for on-location shoots this summer.

Your mom has done many things for you in your life. Celebrate her this May for Mother’s Day with a special gift that she can cherish for years to come. Give mom the gift of JOY this Mother’s Day with a family photo session.

Here are three great ideas to make this Mother’s Day gift the best ever…..

1. Book a photo session of the kids and/or grandkids now to have an online gallery to share with mom on Mother’s Day. Let her choose her favourites as a Mother’s Day gift! This way you know she’ll be getting exactly what she wants because she will have chosen the images while still enjoying the surprise element of the gift by being presented with the online gallery to enjoy.
2. Give Mom a gift certificate and join her for the photo shoot at a later date! Family photos, a mother & daughter photo shoot, grandparents with grandkids or a multi generation photo shoot are all option she could choose from a gift certificate. As with our Christmas promotion, we love to help you be extra generous with your gift certificates so give us a call and we’ll add an extra gift to your gift certificate to help you celebrate Mom this year!
3. If you are a Mom, give yourself a gift this Mother’s day – you deserve it! These image are from a session that was just that, a gift this mom gave herself. What a great gift that both mom and daughter will cherish for years to come.

However you celebrate, I wish you the happiest of Mother’s Days filled with love, laughter & and photos to commemorate the occasion! Call Jana at Miko Photography, 403 451 9769 or contact us here to give the joy of photography this year.

The New Year has arrived and we wanted to share with you 10 easy steps you can take to make sure this is the best (and most organized!) year for all your photo needs:
