Ridge Side Art now at 127 3rd Ave

Oh my I am finally able to let you all know about this wonderful "expansion" of our Art Centro here at 1127 3rd Ave . Her Grand Opening was Sept 24th ( sorry I was not able to let you know sooner - I just returned from holidays ).


Christina Watts is the artist and owner of Ridge Side Art who fills a need she saw in the community for a art supply for budding and established artists. She already had an online business under the same name and represents various Northern Artists  http://www.ridgesideart.com/
But she wanted to take it to the next step and have a storefront. She offers a variety of local artists pieces there as well as paper and supplies. Take a wonder down to see for yourself.
Hours of business are Tuesday to Friday 11-2pm Sat Noon-4pm . There are art demos as well as classes in various art forms so get on her Email List to learn about those. Email submission is on her front page of her Website at the address above.

I am still photographing for sure but you won't find me down there unless we have an appointment just so you know.  If you follow me on INSTAGRAM ( Philomena_Hughes) I've been away all summer.
But I have also been working on a few other projects.The Firemen New Calendar for one which launches Oct 22.  You will see more about it but it will be at the PG GOLF CLUB Pub called Fore Bistro & Patio.

Here is their fb page : prince george fire charitable or follow them on Instagram and watch the behind the scenes I created .

My current project is for the Prince George Community Arts which I am the Vice President of.
We are launching a "InvestLocalBC" fundraising campaign..rather like a GoFundMe but this is a Northern BC Group we are working with. I will link it here when it launches.

Christmas is coming so If you haven't had the chance to have your family portrait updated or you need a gift certificate for Christmas let me know and we will create one for you .

Happy Thanksgiving All.

Business Women Updates

 

Women in business also need to have their sessions of course and Camille came to us for hers.We like to have you come in after you have had your hair and makeup session as well .A consult is essential to knowing what kind of a look you need and the places you need to place your "face" in your marketing campaigns.It isn't just one look and we know that making the most of your time with us really adds value.Our business sessions are booking now in mid July so give us a call and get on top of things before the Fall comes!!

Welcome Back

Diane came back to us with her family after a number of  years since her last session and alot of changes in their family . She looked even more radiant and that was probably because of her grandchildren.. You can see how gorgeous they are.

 Thanks so much to those that hired our studio and brought us back together again quite by serendipity.

For our past clients we sure would love to see you again too!

Hair and Makeup done by Razor's Edge.Beautiful job.

Happy Mother's Day

Mother and Daughters relationships

are one of our most popular sessions these days which have been even more pleasure since we

introduced the hair and makeup included in our sessions.Double hair and makeup that is.So when Rebecca purchased a session with us she couldn't wait till her Mom came . Mom doesn't live in town so it was a really great chance for them to spend time together being pampered and coming for their session. If you want to have a session with your Mom you don't have to wait till next Mother's Day.Start planning it now and make any day Mother's Day...as the best time to do something is Now. Happy Mother's Day everyone. 

Ready and waiting to become a Mother - again.

Georgina told me two things at her consult for a portrait session. She said  her due date was May 12th.and  the image she wanted the most was of her pregnant with her second child. I was looking forward to using this outfit though at the time she wasn't sure if we'd be able to.So very glad we did as this is now in one of my all time favorites of a pregnant woman.The shape of the belly is gently accented with the outfit and that colour just works with her. We also worked with her husband and son after these ones were completed. I look forward to hearing about their newborn but feel this is a wonderful image full of anticipation and pride.
Mother's Day is just around the corner and I wonder if it will be the new baby's Birth Date??
What way do you dream to be photographed? Call me and let's talk about it.
