Happy Good Friday! We hope that everyone is staying healthy! Bow by Mrs. Gift-It

Hey everyone! We hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during this global crisis. Our clients' health and our family's health are always our number one priority and therefore we have made the decision to re-schedule all March sessions and to not take any new sessions until May unless things calm down before then. We will also not be doing any Easter minis this year as a result. As a bit of a thank you for being such loyal clients, we would like to offer two specials:... 50% off all previous digital files from previous sessions. This means that if you wanted to purchase digital files from a past session but weren't able to at that time, you can now purchase additional files from sessions up until the end of 2019 for 50% off. Additional digital files are usually $10 each so with this offer they would be $5 each instead. If you would like to purchase all of the remaining files from a session, we will give you an extra special discount 20% discount off of a future session if pre-purchased now. You can purchase a voucher for a future session by the end of of May for a session to take place in 2020 and you will get a 20% discount off the session price. (this doesn't include our seasonal minis). If you would like more information about either of these offers, please pm us. Stay safe, stay healthy and take care of each other during these trying times. We will get through this!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a few photos of our sweet baby girl, Selina that was born April 19 at 3:13am. She was born a tiny 5lbs,10oz as she stopped growing so they induced me a bit early but she was perfectly healthy and didn't require any NICU time. We feel beyond blessed and are thrilled to have her in our lives. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your support and thank you to all the nurses and doctors that helped us at the South Health Campus, they were amazing and helped us have a wonderful labour experience.
