📸 Easter Mini Sessions

• North Shore photographer Anita from Mark Your Moments photography is offering in-studio, Easter-themed mini photo sessions for up to 3 kids, with an Easter-themed backdrop, on April 13. There are limited time slots available, and Anita is the only photographer we’ve found on the North Shore who is offering Easter-specific photoshoots. Great option for baby’s first Easter, but cute for all ages. If you have kids in North Shore schools you might know Anita - she volunteers a ton of her time to do family photoshoots that fundraise for different schools, so she’s a good egg! [Book Here]
