Springtime Mini-Shoots, Newborn Session Specials, and New Nature Images Added!

The nice, warm, sunny weather will soon be upon us, and I, for one, can't wait!  Yesterday, even though it was rainy, I took my kids out for a drive to see if we could find any interesting things to photograph.  (I also knew it would guarantee a nap for all of them, which was a bonus!).  We ended up in Beacon Hill Park (among a few other places), where there was an endless amount of ducks and geese, among some other birds and wildlife.  It's such a big, beautiful park, and there were lots of people, young and old, taking strolls in the rain.  Some were feeding the ducks, some were just enjoying the fresh air.

Then I had an idea.  This Spring, I'll be doing mini-photo shoots in Beacon Hill Park!  It will likely be on a Saturday - date TBA.  Bring your family down to the park and get a mini-shoot done for only $40!  Sessions will be about 15-20 minutes long or so, you'll get an online gallery of your images, and a credit towards the purchase of any prints from your session!

Sessions will be done on a first-come, first-served basis, sort of like a photo shoot "walk-in".

If you're looking to have just a few shots done in a fabulous location, stay tuned for the date and come one down to see me!  I'll also let you know where in the park I'll be set up.  Tell your friends to stop by as well!

I'm really excited to do this - and if it goes really well, it might just turn into a semi-regular thing during the spring and possibly the summer!

In other news... I've been busy crocheting some new items for newborn photo props (mainly cocoons at the moment).  I hope to have a bunch of new items ready in the coming weeks, so please let me know if you are about to have a baby or just had one - I'd love to try them out!  The perfect time to photograph a newborn is when he or she is around 2 weeks old.  I'm considering doing a few newborn sessions at a reduced rate, as it's something I've only had the opportunity to do with my own children so far, and I'd really like to build on my newborn portfolio and use my new and ever-growing supply of props.  Is there anyone in the Sooke or Victoria area who would be interested in this?  A great newborn session in the comfort of your own home, at a fantastic rate, your images on a disc, a few prints, some birth announcements, and an online gallery to view and purchase any prints from your session.  Please email me if you or someone you know is interested in doing this!

If you'd like to book any other sessions with me, please view my package and price list to the right (just scroll down a bit).


Additionally, I'm uploading photos to my Nature's Footprints gallery from my rainy day outing as I type this, so check them out here!

I look forward to hearing from you regarding the newborn session specials, and about any other photo shoots you are interested in!  If you don't see something you want, ask me about it - custom shoots are available.  I also look forward to seeing you out there at Beacon Hill Park in the upcoming weeks - remember, stay tuned for a date and exact location!
