Summer Sessions

Summer Bookings
With the summer quickly approaching, I just wanted to remind everyone to book EARLY. Summer (and fall) sessions are filling up quickly. While I will make every attempt to squeeze you in, especially newborns, last minute calls may not be available. Even though I officially start back to work from my maternity leave in June, word has been spreading fast that I am accepting appointments. Thank you everyone. Be sure to send me an email or call me if you are planning on booking a session.

News - it is coming!

I promise. I am still ironing out a few final details before I reveal the news. All in good time. In the mean time, here are a couple of images - one of a familiar pre-schooler who allowed me a few brief moments. Sometimes, that's all you get as a parent and you have to take the picture very quickly. The other picture is reflective of a new passion I have been pursuing and coincides with Art & Design Studio. The Web site is still under construction but I am hoping to have it available soon. As working parents know, there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done so some things have to wait.

Winners Announced - NEW News Coming Soon

Some Updates...

First I wanted to welcome baby Sierra. She is the newest addition of my extended family. Just a few days old and so precious.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth at the Children's Trunk Show. It is always so nice to catch up with past clients and see how big the babies and children are getting. I also met up with several clients and momprenurals at A Family Affair. This was event was a huge success with over 350 families and $300,000 raised for Sick Kids. I was so happy to be asked to lead the Family Photo Booth and look forward to taking part in it next year.

The Winners... The winner of the in-studio session is Shannon. Congratulations Shannon. Additionally Tara and Michelle recieve a 5x7 print of their choice.

This month I have given out several referall credits. If you are a past client and refer a friend to Art & Design, you will receive a $25 referall credit as a thank you from us. This credit can be used towards any product or a future session.

Be sure to stop in by the blog for your chance to take part in more exciting draws and find out what's happening at the studio. BIG NEWS is coming soon. I am so excited but right now it's top secret. The announcement should be ready sometime this week so be sure to come back and read. Until then....

I'm Back - Kind Of

Should All Good Things Come to an End ?

Let me start off by saying I am so overwhelmed by the response from those who wanted to be put on the wait list and am currently scheduling everyone for their sessions. I will be commencing sessions (in a limited amount) for the summer and fall and am taking regular bookings starting next week.Not too many spots remain for the summer. Thanks to all of my clients and admirers for their inquiries about the baby and well wishes for my return. I truly love doing this and wish there was more time in my schedule to accommodate everyone.

In honour of this Friday's bi-annual Children's Trunk Show I thought I would do something I've never done and offer an amazing draw and promotion to those at the Trunk Show AND those who check out my blog and e-mail me Friday. I assure you that if you want a session, you'll want to visit the blog to find out all of the details. If you refer a friend to the blog, make sure you let me know (they have to tell me it was you in their email) so that you get another chance at the draw

If you are looking for a great shopping experience come to the Children's Trunk Show at the Old Mill. It is an amazing show featuring an array of talented and creative women entrepreneurs.

Until Friday...
