2025 was a fun year; we increased our volunteer work, and we got more paid work from awesome people who trust us. Now that 2026 is next door, we are thinking of shaking things up, not only for us but for all our new and existing customers. So here it comes...
So far, the 2026 free event plans are:
- St. Valentine's at the Cornwall Square,
- Family Day,
- The Easter Bunny at the Cornwall Square,
- Mother's Day at the Cornwall Square,
- Arts in the Park Concert Series, and
- Christmas photos with Santa and the Grinch (Helping the AGAPE).
Regarding paid photoshoots, we will hold a raffle. Read below.
We have stopped doing Halloween, as we tried for two years and had low attendance (the 2025 event had only 10 children).
St. Valentine's at the Cornwall Square
If you have a significant one, or just a bestie, come and take a photo with us at the mall. We have to say that this will be under appointment only.
Free event by appointment with the option to buy a print (if you want).
Family Day
As we do every year, we will offer a free photo session to all families, regardless of size or type. However, there must be some requirements:
- There must be at least one relationship between participants, such as parent-child or grandparent-child.
Free event by appointment with the option to buy a print (if you want).
The Easter Bunny at the Cornwall Square
One of our most successful free events, photographing more than 150 families per year and delivering around 600 (or more) photos. As soon as we close the deal with the mall, we will make an announcement. This event may need volunteers; it is ideal for students who need hours. It is pretty fun.
Free walk-in event with the option to buy a print (if you want).
Mother's Day at the Cornwall Square
We want every child to have a photo with their mother. As soon as we close the deal with the mall, we will post the announcement. We have to say that this will be under appointment only.
Free event by appointment with the option to buy a print (if you want).
Arts in the Park Concert Series
We love music! If you are a musician and you plan to perform at the Arts in the Park Concert Series, make sure to dress up and look your best because we will photograph you (and very likely record you).
Free event with the option to buy a print (if you want).
Christmas photos with Santa and the Grinch (Helping the AGAPE)
For the third year, we are planning to run this campaign. You will get a free digital photo with Santa and/or the Grinch (depending on the day you attend).
We want to make this event bigger than last year. We are thinking (still under consideration):
- Create a drawing contest for kids with three winners: Santa's choice, the Grinch's choice, and the Community's choice. We are thinking the prize could be a movie gift card (TBD).
- Give a raffle ticket for each 1 kg of donation given. We are thinking the prize could be a small tablet (TBD).
- We are considering adding more Christmas-related characters, such as Krampus or Freya.
If you need volunteer hours, this event is perfect for you.
Raffle for Paid Photoshoots
Yet to determine what prize to give, maybe an 8+ inch tablet. From January 1st to December 31st, 2026, we will provide a raffle ticket for each $50 investment in us. The raffle will be transmitted online in the first week of 2027.
