Hey Everyone,
We have all been pretty excited today, setting up the set for Starry Night for our first promotion of the year! All the stars have been stuck, and the fluff has been fluffed and we're all ready for our first little munchkin to come and read a bedtime story!
Seems it's cooled down as well this last couple of days. The snow decided to appear early this afternoon and now we're covered in a fresh blanket of powder- great for all the skiers and snowboarders out there! Unfortunately, for all of us daily workday commuters, the powder over ice seems to be a bit of a dilemma, and a safety risk. We hope you all get to work safely this morning! I think it's best to arrive alive then to arrive on time... although some bosses may object to that statement! Anyway, even the sun seems to have come out for the afternoon which is really brightening up the ambiance and removing that dull dark look from the sky. This weather is perfect for taking picturesque winter landscape pictures. Although despite the weather we all still keep on trucking with our Canadian immunity to the snow and cold. All I can say is thank goodness for heated car seats!!!
Back to the topic at hand- starry night! This set is a beautiful night scene with the child sitting atop a fluffy white cloud with his pjs and his teddy bear, with the moon and stars behind him (or her!). I personally love this one because of how timeless it is. It's a classic pose, with a fun theme integrated right in!
Stay warm everyone!

Children story books.My studio, "Your Eye on Photo", was born from my love for making images. In parallel,I have developed “Tattle Tales Portraits” from my fascination with my childhood storybook illustrations; these images that danced in my head from the time I was a little girl. Do you remember the images in your fairy tale books? This is exactly what we create right here in our studio. When you book your session, the set is built at the studio just for your session

Happy Friday!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to do a quick update and to say: HAPPY FRIDAY! Although some may have the belief that Friday the 13th is unlucky, I consider it the same as every other day, with the sun shining and setting to reveal the moon at night. Somebody once told me a very wise phrase and that was "no matter how bad or good your day is, the number of hours in a day will never change" meaning, no matter what happens during the day, always expect the sun to rise in the East and set in the West. I tend to think of that during days where I need a little "pick-me-up", or even to think about perspective in my life.
We have lots going on recently, all which will be revealed shortly! Yes, I know, you're all dying to know, but I am sworn to secrecy until the day which it will be released. All I can tell you is that it's going to be great, and you all will love it! We've been working really hard this last week making the schedule and the preparations for all the marketing and media, so we are really hoping that you all enjoy what we have to offer this year! :)
Hopefully you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

Welcome Back! Bienvenue!
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy return back to the real world after all that holiday madness! Hope your holiday was everything you had wished it to be this year, and that you have many more prosperous holidays to come. All of us at Your Eye On Photo had enough to do this holiday, and it feels great to be back in the swing of things!
So, there's lots coming up in 2012 that we have planned! We have lots of upcoming Tattle Tales Promos that will be posted on Facebook and our official website once we have everything finalized and ready for you. We have high hopes this year for lots of happy clients, and already have had calls regarding events they would like us to participate in, so we are most definitely off to a positive start this year.
The weather doesn't seem to be what we were all wishing for, sadly. If this seems to be the most of what we're getting this year, we're getting off easy! For us here in Caledon, we had a fairly white Christmas and a sprinkle of snow this new years eve, unlike some others in the GTA that unfortunately had mostly a green Christmas season this year. So much for the picturesque Canadian Holiday Season, eh? I have barely had any time, or appropriate winter weather to take some of my own personal shots, since we seem to have only been blessed with mostly rain and ice.
But never the less, we are back in business! If you haven't called yet and wish to, we are back to our normal store hours and would be more than happy to speak with you regarding any future or past endeavours that we have done together.

Saying Goodbye To The Year!
Hey everyone,
Just doing an update for today, and have an announcement to make! On our last day in the studio (Friday December 16th) all of us are rejoicing to celebrate what a wonderfully successful year we've had. We are gonna get some pizza from across the wall (Airport Pizza) and have a really fun afternoon together before we part for the Holidays. Of course this is an open invitation, and if any of our beloved clients want to join us in our celebration, they are all more than welcome! We're hoping for a really fun day together to look back on our successful year together. As you know, this isn't the end of the studio forever, we will be returning on the 10th of January, so if you have any orders you still need to come and pick up, we will be back and happy to serve you :)
This week has been pretty busy, all of us are doing our last minute work in the studio before our break. Desiree is doing processing and contest submitting, as she is glued to her screen working her magic for almost all day. Lunch seems to be the only time we have to really wind down and take a mental break from all the filing, year end taxes, and general tid bits of things to do before we close up shop for the season. Adam and Karen and I are working really hard on processing all the expenses, which seems to be most of the hectic work around here. Boy, am I ever looking forward to when I have to do my own taxes.... (well, not really!). Although, we're pushing through it all, getting all the last phone calls in before people start to go away for the holidays.
Cheers! We hope to see some of you all on Friday to celebrate with us!
Sarah

À Bientôt,

Recent Happenings At The Studio
Dear Followers, Clients, and Friends,
The Snow Fairy weekend that I talked about in my last post went very well! All the little ones were wonderful, and both the children and I had a real blast with all the props and little adventures! The book in our front window has been changed, finally, since our grand opening of our new location 18 months ago! We have our little Tattle Tales 'Starry Night' scenes as our new "chapter" for the next little while. We're hoping to change it more often, and continue to add pages until we have a beautiful story of all our wonderful clients.
Just recently, we have a new co-op student here to help out with shoots and do receptionist work- as well as learning the tips and tricks of studio photography. Welcome, Sarah! We hope you enjoy your time here with us!
So, the new year is coming, and so is Christmas Break. Lucky us, we're taking a little more time off to spend with our cherished family and friends, and wish for you all to do the same. We will begin a fresh start to a promising new year, and maybe fulfil some resolutions along the way! Christmas is so important, not just as a religious base, but to really make time to celebrate and give thanks with your family. It gives us a chance to congregate and share laughs. Another way you can see this approaching, is through the beauty of the snow falling. Although that leads to cold, it is always a shared delight by sitting beside the fire with a blanket and a warm beverage to wind down in the evenings. Having a Tassimo Brewer at the studio is really convenient for that! Also having a fantastic fireplace to stand beside on the chillier days is always a favourite.
With everything rolling along, from all of us at Your Eye On Photo, we would like to wish you all a very happy holidays, and a happy and prosperous new year for many years to come!
Chers clients et amis,
La saison de Noël est venue très rapidement, et la neige aussi! Je suis désolée, parce que mon français n`est pas au point. Je m'appelle Sarah, et j'assiste Désirée avec le blog, et j'aimerai écrire pour mes amis français. Sur une autre note, l'hiver est très beau! Je regarde la neige tomber, a côté de la cheminée avec mon chocolat chaud. Cette saison est ma préférée. Je l'aime! Retour sur le sujet, le studio est fantastique, avec le vacances d'hiver à proximité, nous preparons les commandes de notre dernière session, qui seront prêtent pour le ramassage. Les photos sont belles; merci à tous nos clients.

Our best dancer! This pose is absolutely perfect! A personal favourite!
One of our Tattle Tales themed portraits for Children. This one is called Little Snow Elf. Isn't he just angelic in this picture? His expression is really great, and he was amazing to work with!
