I know spring is definitely in the air and so are all the new babies! So all you mom’s expecting a baby need to get this hospital kit. Labour Kit has done all the running around and planning for you. These kits come with everything you could possibly need during your hospital stay. All nicely fit into one cute bag!
In fact I was so impressed with Theresa and her product that I couldn’t wait to share it with all of you!! Check out their April newsletter!
Call and book before the spaces are gone!
I am beyond, beyond excited to announce our newest partner My Bubble Party and Play Pad!
If you haven’t been there you HAVE to go! It is simply the best place in Durham Region to take your kids to play. They have a wonderful play zone for little ones who aren’t quite up for climbing and slides yet. With a nice comfy place for nursing baby. In the main room is this enormous play structure for your little monkeys to climb all over (wait till you see it!), a great art room with small motor skill toys, a snack room complete with high chairs and the coolest interactive play mats. These mats actually some how magically transform from bubbly hot chocolate to stars or popcorn that swoosh and swirl all over as your kids dance over it. One for babies and one for big kids. Those alone are worth the price of admission!!
Ok and get this, there’s a snak bar with good to eat baby and kid friendly snacks AND free coffee!!! Yes free coffee! This place is a busy mom’s dream. Take the kids in the middle of the afternoon, relax with a coffee and a freind while the kids burn off all that energy.
Next time you’re there make sure you say Hi to Danielle, Trever and Jen. Niceest people you’ll meet and what’s more, they truly care about you and your kids.
So can you see why I’m just so darn excited!?.
Danielle and I are working on some really great ideas for this spring. And when I say really great, I mean blow you away great. I just can’t tell you…yet. If you want to see what we’re cooking up you’ll have to check back or even better just subscribe to this blog (click that little orange button to the left) and you’ll automatically get an studio update right in your inbox!)
Also, if any of you have already been to My Bubble (or even after you get back from your first visit -hint hint) leave us a comment and let everyone know just how much fun it was.
It’s October and finally they are available!! I’ve had so many people ask if and when I was doing these this year and now we’re finally ready!
And now for the fine print…
HOLIDAY DEADLINES
** In an effort to accommodate as many of our clients as much as possible for the holidays, we will be limitting full sessions before the holidays. However, If you book a Holiday Mini prior to the Nov. 15th deadline, and you would still like a full-studio session, you can come back in Janurary or Feburary and your entire Traditional session fee ($150) will be applied as a print credit. This is ONLY valid if you book a Holiday Mini and only good for sessions taking place in Janurary or Feburary 2009.
*Additional Terms and Conditions Apply.
Ok I know the kids just started back at school and it isn’t even Halloween yet but I have to say it. If you are even contemplating getting portraits for the Holidays or sending Holiday cards you may just want to plan ahead.
The deadline for ordering Holiday Cards to guarantee they get to you in time to mail for the holidays is November 1st. And the deadline for ordering prints and canvas’ in time to hang or give is November 15th!
SO that means I only have 4 Saturdays available to book,
September 13,
September 27 (On-location only),
October 4 and
October 18! That’s it! Holy Moly this year went fast.
Also, if you have had a session within this past year, call me and we can talk about using one of your chosen images as this years Holiday Card.
Oh and check back later this week to see some of the fantastic new Holiday Card designs we have.
Ok I can’t wait, this is my favourite…

Hmm 6 unspectacular quirks eh?
1. I’m Canadian too!
2. I am love trashy complicated well written period romance novels.
3. I need to have all the food in my cupboards lined up neat and tidy with the labels facing forward. Now I don’t alphabetize them, that would just be too quirky.

5. I have a taste of chocolate hidden in about half a dozen different places. Yes I am an addict.
6. hmmm, Oh I know! I’ve moved 22 times in my life, living everywhere from London to Manitoulin Island to Whitehorse and back.
