Mother’s Day Gift Idea! (Winnipeg Family Photographers)

Leave a comment

What do you think most mothers would most value on Mother’s Day?

Being a mother myself, I know what I think the answer to this question is. Mothers love to spend time with their children and appreciate having a visual memory of that time in the form of a professional portrait. Not something snapped with an iPhone and lost somewhere in cyberspace in a few years, but a portrait that can be displayed on the wall or on a desk.  You can make that happen for your mother.

There are 2 ways you can do this. You can purchase a gift certificate for your mom and make an appointment for a photography session at a later date, or you can plan the session in the next couple of weeks and present to your mother on Mother’s Day. I can assure you that your mom would be delighted.

For a limited time I have a Mother’s Day Special.

Here are 2 of the ads from my special. I am extending this special until Mother’s Day, so don’t delay! (Limited weekend times available.)

 

This wonderful lady died this year but I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph her family of daughters at her 90th Birthday Party. I know that this image will be treasured for years to come. And what a thrill for the mom to have family come from East and West to be at the party.

 

 

 

If you were prefer, I can print up a gift certificate and customize it for you. I can even find a frame for it if you like.

The session is still $59 with 1 8×10 or 2 5×7 prints included, as in the above offer.

Don’t delay. Mother’s Day is fast approaching.

Maternity Sessions!

Thank you to everyone who forwarded my maternity special to pregnant ladies that they knew. I photographed 6 beautiful mamas; six amazing women who were a ton of fun to work with. Some came with an older child, one came with her husband and 2 came with their dogs. I accomplished my goal of adding to my portfolio, trying some new ideas  and using the maternity gowns that I had purchased.
Here are a few of my maternity images:

Mother’s Day Special

___________________________________________________
I know that a lot of moms take pictures of their children, but often they are not in the pictures. I took a lot of pictures of my children when they were little, but I don’t have many that I’m in.

If you are a mother, this is the perfect offer for you to take advantage of.  Use it to book a session for yourself and your children. Or just for yourself.

This is a limited time special and is only available for the week starting on Saturday, April 14th. We will do the sessions in my studio or at an outdoor location.

This special can also be purchased as a gift for your mother and used at a later date. I can customize a gift certificate for you. Just send me the details and I can get that ready for you.

Please pass this special on to anyone that you think might be interested. You can email me at chrismcwilliamsphotography@gmail.com, or you can call or text me at 204-962.3424.

Hope to hear from you!

Raising a Reader

As many of you know, I was a teacher for many years. I taught grades 1 to 4 for over 30 years. One of the joys of teaching children in the early years is watching them grow as readers. Any grade 1 teacher can tell you how magical it is when a child starts to read.

There are many things that a parent can do to ensure that their child becomes a reader.

  • The single most important thing you can do is read to your child from the time they are very small. Make it an enjoyable experience and your child will associate reading with pleasure.
  • Have books around  house. Make sure you have books in a variety of genres; including fiction and non fiction.
  • Be a reader yourself. Children model behaviour; so make sure that they see you relaxing with a book.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s reading. I would be happy to help you.

Gifts for Mother’s Day (Winnipeg Family Photographers)

Leave a comment

Are you looking for a gift for your mother for Mother’s Day?

I know that as a mother, the gift that I would treasure the most is a photo of my family. Last summer, my son and his family were here from Calgary and the rest of the family came over. With the help of a tripod, I was able to get a picture of all 4 generations of my family. I love this photo and know that I will treasure it for years to come. I also managed to get one of myself with my 2 sons and my grandson. Nothing makes me happier than photographs that mark a time in my life with the people who mean the most to me.

So if you are looking for a gift for your mom, why not buy her a gift certificate for a photo session?Put  the gift certificate in a nice frame and wrap it up with pretty paper and a ribbon. I know your mother will be thrilled.

And to make it even easier for you, I have a Groupon right now that will save you some money. If you are buying the Groupon as a gift, I can print a special gift certificate for you to frame.

To purchase the Groupon, go to http://www.groupon.com/users/chris-mcwilliams-photography/deals/chris-mcwilliams-photography.

Send me an email if you would like to get a special gift certificate printed and I can personalize one for your mom (at no cost to you.)

Mother’s Day Special (Winnipeg Photographers)

Leave a comment

The rain has been lovely for turning everything green and making  things grow, but it hasn’t been good for photography sessions outdoors. I have had to cancel a number of outdoor sessions. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will improve this week.

Are you still stumped as to what to get your mother for Mother’s Day? If you are, I have a great idea. How about booking a photo session with your mother? I  think it is the best gift that you can give to your mother. Being a mother and grandmother myself, I know how much it means to me to have pictures of myself with my sons and my grandson.

Because I think it is so valuable to have those visual memories in years to come, I am offering a special for Mother’s Day. For this week only, you will be able to book a “short session” for $100 and also get a DVD of 10 digital images in a high resolution jpeg format. Short sessions include 2 poses and take from 20 minutes to half an hour. If you won’t have time for the session by Mother’s Day, I am offering gift certificates that you can use in the future.  The gift certificates also need to be purchased by Sunday.

Have a look at the 2 styles of mult-generational pictures in this poster.

These session can be outside or in my studio only. It does not include sessions at your house.

If  you are interested in booking a session give me a call at 962-3424  or send me an email at chrismcwilliamsphotography@gmail.com.

Hope to hear from you.
