Santa Claus is coming to Mothering Touch! Your baby's first Christmas (or even second or third or seventeenth) is a very special time that you will want to mark with a beautiful professional photo which you can share with family and friends. It makes a great gift and a great memento of your child's babyhood.
On Friday November 25, from 2-4pm, Santa will be here to listen to the Christmas wishes of babies, toddlers and older kids too. Konul Rosario from The Light Within Photography will be taking photos.
On Friday December 9, from 10am-12noon, Santa will be back and Vivian Kereki (the wonderful photographer who did the photo contest at the Baby Fair) will be here.
This Photo with Santa Event is a fundraiser. While the photographers are donating their time for the photos sessions, we will be collecting donations for two causes we hold very dear. We suggest a donation of $5 per child. The photographers will make the photos of the children available on their website at a special holiday rate.
On November 25 we will be collecting for Baby Eleanor and her family. Baby Eleanor used to come to baby group when she was very little. When she was about 5 months old she was diagnosed with a congenital cancer and since then she has been going back and forth to BC Children's Hospital for treatment. She is now 11 months old and doing remarkably well, but she still has a long battle ahead of her. We want to show some support to her and her lovely parents. So on Friday November 25, all donations made for the Santa Photos will go to Baby Eleanor.
On December 9 all donations will go to the Young Parents Support Network. YPSN is a small non-profit organization whose mission is to support and empower young parent families in the Coast Salish Territories (Victoria, BC). They provide one-to-one support for families led by young parents and as organize parenting and prenatal classes and groups.
Please come and join us on November 25 and December 9 to celebrate childhood, wonder and our connection with our community.
