Well that time of the year has hopped back around again- Easter Bunny time at Carnation City Mall. As we gear up for what will undoubtedly be another great season of Easter pictures and as we prep our Bunny, we look forward to the oodles of sugar-driven kiddos who will soon be swarming the mall for a visit and photo with the floppy-eared critter.

We will be at the Carnation City Mall in Alliance on Saturday, April 9, 2011, helping to celebrate the Easter Bunny’s arrival at 11:00 A.M., and will be there on day one until 7:00 P.M. The schedule for the remaining Bunny Days will be as follows:

 

Sunday, April 10: 12:00-5:00

Once again, we had a great time photographing all of the children that came to visit Santa Claus at the Carnation City Mall – and boy were some of them surprised to find that Mrs. Claus had tagged along to make sure that everybody had a turn to tell Santa Claus what they wanted for Christmas. Even the little ones who were timid about seeing the jolly fellow would go to Mrs. Claus without much hesitation and she would pass on their Christmas gift wishes to Santa.

This year we had many children requesting a DSi, laptops,  and one unique request for an iPad. This last one took Santa by surprise, as he was a little low on his iPad stock- after all, many adults were asking for the same Christmas present. As always, Santa promised to try his best to have the presents that each child asked for but could not make any guarantees.

Catchlight Studio, and Nicol Photography, LLC sincerely hope that everyone had a great Christmas and we wish you a New Year filled with many rewarding days.

We look forward to seeing all of the children again for Easter Bunny pictures,  for Christmas this year, and any time in between. The Easter Bunny looks forward to hopping in,  we are planning on having Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus come to the Carnation City Mall again for children to visit, and we openly welcome any opportunity to help capture other great childhood memories!

Thanks again!

We had a recent visit from Christopher Popinkins. He was visiting Santa and Mrs. Claus to give his report to them of all the children that he has been visiting.

Have you been good? Or bad? Christopher Popinkins and his sister Christina Marie Popinkins are the ones that share this information with Santa.

Stop by Santa’s Workshop at the Carnation City Mall to purchase your very own Christopher or Christina Marie Popinkins to share in this unique Christmas story.

Santa Claus came to the Carnation City Mall today and for a few hours they had 2 reindeer with them.

We did not know what to expect because normally the reindeer are pulling Santa’s sleigh – not present when the children are visiting Santa. It was such a big hit – even though the photographer was in present danger from the antlers. There were a few close calls – but no one was harmed from these pictures and the children and their parents really enjoyed having a unique experience with Mr. & Mrs. Claus.

Thanks for all of those that came out to share in this experience with us.

One more day and the jolly fellow will be arriving at the Carnation City Mall.

When he arrives, not only will he have Mrs. Claus with him, but he will have 2 of his reindeer with him. Never seen a live reindeer before? Come to the Carnation City Mall to see what they look like, and get your portrait done with Santa, Mrs. Claus and one of the reindeer. This will be such a unique image only available at Carnation City Mall, and it will only be available from 11 am to 1 pm Saturday, November 20.

Get there early to get a spot in the line and get ready for a really unique experience. This will be great for young and old alike.

Our School and Event Studio will be photographing Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Carnation City Mall from Nov. 20 to Dec. 24 – check out a blog post below to see what days and hours that we will be at the mall.

Here is the price list for portraits taken of Santa Claus.

The jolly fellow will be visiting Carnation City Mall. He will be in his workshop, which is near the center court – just head towards Elder-Beerman, and you will see Santa’s Workshop.

Here are the hours that he will be available, plus we have a week that he will be available to take pet portraits – children are welcome at all times.

Reindeer – we will have live reindeer at the Grand Opening of Santa’s workshop on November 20. For 2 hours your children can have a reindeer in their Santa portrait. This is possible between 11:00 am and 1 pm.

We are currently in Niagara Falls, Ontario looking for Santa Claus. Rumors are that he hangs out in a place that is cold and full of snow – well that would be further north then Niagara Falls, maybe I can ask my photographer friend in Sudbury, Ontario if he has seen him yet. James – any sign of the big jolly fellow?

Just kidding – its Bruce’s 40th birthday, and we decided to go to Niagara Falls to check out their water park, and its not too bad. They have some great slides, and there is lots of water (kind of the main ingredient for a water park, I guess). The only problem with being in the water for over 4 hours is that all of your skin starts to look like a prune. Or maybe its the age?

If anyone knows of the whereabouts of the jolly red fellow – tell him that he is needed at the Carnation City Mall to greet the children on November 20.

Today was our second day photographing at a local preschool.

We love photographing at preschools, because you just never know what will happen. How silly do we have to be to get that good smile from the little one that is in front of our camera? Can we crack the rough exterior of the biggest frown on a little one – you bet. Photographing at a preschool gives a whole new challenge on what to do when children do not want to smile.

What do we do during a Preschool Photo Session? Check out this video, where we let the children use our self serve option. Just a gag by the way – we do not have enough insurance to cover our photography equipment that will be handled by the preschool children.

This year we will be offering a variety of different Christmas cards while we are photographing Santa Claus.

But you don’t have to wait to come and see Santa Claus to have these ordered. Come in to have a family session done and we will show you a sample of what your card can look like.

Don’t forget – we print on site, so you don’t have to wait weeks for your images. You select them, we print them, and you go home with them. What could be better?
