Mother's Day is coming up fast!
Just a reminder that Mother's Day is May 11. Portraits make the perfect gift for Mom and Grandma. If you would like prints ready in time for Mother's Day gift giving... the deadline to have the photos taken is April 23. Remember... with no sitting fee and mix and match print options, you don't need to wait for a once a year holiday portrait... Mother's Day is the perfect excuse to stop in at the studio!

Happy almost Spring!

Dreamscape Portraits Are Here!
Our Enchanted Forest for our Dreamscape Portraits is ready for little princes and princesses!
I have wanted to do this for years but of course couldn't when all my work was done on location. Now, with the new studio space, I have dedicated one room to being our Dreamscape Portraits set. This set will rotate every once in a while... so if you want a specific set, please be sure to get on it quick! The current set, Enchanted Forest, will make a regular return though because it will certainly be VERY popular. We have literally dozens of costumes (for boys and girls)... so come and have some fun!

Belly Casting Special Offer
The wonderful doulas of MamaAssist have graciously offered my Belly Goddess Portrait clients $5 off a belly casting session. And... they'll even come to the Dream Catcher Studio and do it right after your portrait session! Convenient... easy... and fun too. And, yes... you will find somewhere to put it!
I am so happy I had one done for my last pregnancy. Now when I look at it, I can't believe that was really how BIG I was! So, pregnant mamas... come to Dream Catcher Photo for your pregnancy photos and then get casting done so you can truly preserve this special time. Thanks Tiffany and Rachel from MamaAssist! http://www.mamaassist.com/

Looking for your cool junk
Thinking of doing some cleaning up around your house to start off the New Year right? Well...
WE'RE LOOKING FOR: Neat and unusual items and furniture for use as props.
Do you have a collection of hats that is collecting dust? Maybe an old Victorian-ish armchair that is sitting in a corner of your basement? A funky rug or stool that you have NO idea what to do with? A classic baby toy? Do you have an item that you now look at and think... WHAT was I thinking?!? Dream Catcher Photo is on the lookout for interesting and unique props and maybe our next favourite thing is something from YOUR attic or basement!
Submit a pic and/or description to us and, if we can use it at the studio we’ll give you a coupon for a free 8x10 to be used the next time you come in for a session with Dream Catcher Photo. (A note though... we have to actually WANT your item to get the photo and coupon... it might be cool... but we might not need it.)
In addition to pretty much anything but the kitchen sink (or maybe we could find a use for that too.... hmmm...) please keep in mind that we are currently working on developing sets. Some sets may include forest themes, beach themes, princess/fairy/knights, seasonal themes, etc.).
Come on… it’s a new year and time to clean out all the stuff you don’t use or need… recycle and let it take on a new life!
THANKS and Happy 2008!
Julie

We're blogging! Wow, this is so new for me. I'm only just new to reading blogs let alone writing them. But, here goes...
OK... first, you'll have to forgive my complete lack of knowledge of blogger language. I type words... not codes. I don't know what a DH is and I've just found out what "fisking" is. It's a whole new world that I promise to try and learn bit by bit. Many thanks in advance for your patience as this old dog stumbles through the ropes of this new trick.
Next... let me tell you who I am. My name is Julie Duggan and I own Dream Catcher Photography in London Ontario. I have been at this for many years now while raising my children and I am now, finally, in a position to move my business from a home based one to a brick and mortar commercial property. Yippeeee!!!
After a long time of looking... I have found the perfect place. It's an old Victorian home that has been converted into a commercial property in the Hyde Park are (right on Hyde Park, just north of Gainsborough Rd.) The house was built around 1890 and is over 1800 sq. ft. It is a dream come true to be able to offer my clients so much more than I ever could before.
There are lots of plans for the place. Please stay tuned and I'll reveal them on this blog and my main site at www.dreamcatcherlondon.com I'll also keep you informed as new staff is hired and we grow... thanks to all our wonderful clients who allow me (and my future staff) to capture all your dreams come true on film. It's an honour I don't ever take for granted.
Although we have begun to operate out of the studio already... the finishing touches are being put on and we are in the middle of planning our HUGE Grand Opening Celebration. More details about that in a future blog entry. Look for entries from the dream catcher photo team in the future too. This is no longer just a one (wo)man band!
OK... that's it for my first ever blog post. How did I do? *grin*
