Countdown to Christmas | Getting Behind!!!

OK, OK, OK...the last weekend of Christmas got the best of me.  Photography, working my seasonal gig, spending time with family, Christmas prep, and prepping for a working vacation in Mexico from the 26th-31st, put the Countdown to the bottom of the to do list.  So instead I have 1 last Extravanganzalorious (if you know elf on the shelf-you will know this is a REAL word) promotion for prior and new clients.

First, to all of my 2011 clients.  

 I had the pleasure of photographing many returning clients and a lot of new faces and smiles this year. 

For 4 days only, ending Friday, December 23rd at midnight, purchase all of your edited, full resolution digital images from your session for only $375.  That is 50% off the regular price.  The disk of image comes with full printing rights, so great for last minute gifts if you want to print some prints at your printer (I can let you know who I would use locally).   You will receive your disk with images (if local or mailed if not local) within 24 hours from purchase.

Second, to all of my future clients in 2012.

I didn't want to make you feel left out, and I love to meet new families every year, so for you I have a great digital image package at more than 50% off.  Purchase a regular session at $150 and pre-pay for your digital images as detailed above for $350.  That is $500 and everything is paid for, we just need to schedule a time for 2012 and you will receive your full edited images with printing rights.  Oh, year and if you are a prior client of 2011 and want to plan ahead for 2012....no problem just click below.

  Hurry, as this gift to clients from 2011 and my future clients in 2012 will be gone on Friday at midnight, and images archived and deleted for 2011!  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Countdown to Christmas | Day 10

It is the time of year for giving.  Starting today and running through to next Sunday, December 18th, I am going to have specials for 2012 just for you!  I hear all the time from friends and families of clients saying, "oh we need to do this".  Well this is your chance.  Every day there will be a special promotion.  It will be available for just one day, until midnight each night and then the promotion will change to something else.  10 days of fabulous savings and fun.  The best way to make sure you don't miss the savings each day is to go to my Facebook Page and "like" my page.  Each day, I will post a blog post to explain the Countdown special that will automatically post over to my facebook page so you don't miss out.  

Day 10 - Friday, December 9th

Today is all about sharing with others.  Are you a client who had their photos taken this year and everyone raved about your photos and said they wished they could have a session too?  Or maybe you have a few people still on your Christmas list to buy presents for, but just not sure what to get them?  How about a family or child photography session?  Today's special is a buy one get one promotion.  If you purchase one regular session (child, maternity, newborn, pet, or family), you will receive a gift certificate for another full regular session of the recipient's choice.  You can keep the second session for yourself or family, or you can give it to someone special on your list so that they can have their family memories captured too!  

Just click here to purchase! 

HURRY!  Due to the fact that I am posting sooo late today, this offer will expire on Saturday, December 10th at midnight.  But stay tuned there will be a new Countdown special tomorrow!!!!!

Let the fun begin!!!

Gorgeous Browns | Victoria BC Family and Portrait Photographer

Eyes that is.  Everyone in the family had dark eyes, either brown or dark hazel.  As well, the T. Family were by far the smiley group of the fall.  Big, toothy grins, sly grins.  We had a great time at Fort Rodd Hill, lots of areas to check out and explore.  Enjoy!

Really could the smile be any cuter.

My favourite from the session, like I wasn't even there!

Family Affair | Family and Child Photographer Victoria, BC

I have know the C. Family since I moved back in 2007 to Victoria.  We got rained out twice and finally had a nice sunny day.  I haven't seen them in awhile, too long, and Miss Z and Mr. L have grown sooo much.  I could hardly believe it.  Grandma and Uncle J. joined in on the session as well down at Esquimalt Lagoon.  Late afternoon light, the beach, pier pillars....perfection!

Sharing secrets with Grandma.

One of my favourites from the session.

More Mini Sessions | Family and Child Photographer Victoria, BC

Sometimes clients become friends over the years, you watch their family grow each year, from little ones to big girls.  Sometimes I am even luckier and friends becomes clients.  My sister lives in a GREAT cul de sac and the K. Family spend a lot of time with my sister's family.  I see Maddie and Lila a lot and often see them waving out their front window at me.  Last year, I couldn't get Lila to crack a smile, this year, complete different story.  These 2 were full of poses.  Enjoy!

a little bit of vintage processing....love this one!

isn't that curl on her nose to die for!!!!

Fall Mini Sessions | Victoria BC Child and Family Photographer

The K. Family were the winners of a mini-session that I raffled away at the Time Out for Moms Exhibition in July (check out the Surviving the Season edition tomorrow, it is not too late to get tickets...and I am going to be one of the speakers).  3 boys...WOW is all I can say, there were full of energy and Mom and Dad is expecting their fourth little one....a girl this time around!!!

Enjoy!!

How I love a serious face.

Such a great smile.

Yearly Tradition | Victoria BC Family and Child Photographer

I LOVE to see families that come back every year.  It is almost as if I know them so well, eventhough I see them just once a year.  The P. Family is back for the 4th year.  Kira and Makenna have changed sooo much over the years from little girls to big girls!  Also, Makenna seems to be losing teeth the last few sessions, but she can work the gap like no other!  Really a gorgeous family, with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen (well maybe my nephew only).

It was super windy and I asked them to fix each other's hair...sooo cute!!!
