  This year our Christmas sessions are a bit different for us. Due to Covid, we did not offer any indoor Christmas sessions. All our sessions are being held outside at our new location in Cobourg. We've been very lucky to move to a large property which offers excellent views with lots and lots of trees. This year we acquired a vintage red sleigh to use in our Christmas photo sessions. Along with a beautiful red couch, and our trusted Christmas tree booth we've had some great time with clients. We are continuing our sessions through December and are offering $10 off if you can come out for a session during the weekday. Weekends fill up fast, so if you want a session, please contact us soon!    At the beginning of this pandemic, a bunch of local Peterborough Photographers wanted to do something special to show our appreciation for our local health care workers. We got together and decided to offer free photography sessions for the front line staff and first responders at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC). These complimentary sessions are being offered this fall, in September and October. I was privileged to meet Loretta and her husband. Loretta is a nurse who works in the Surgical Outpatient Department at Peterborough Regional Health Centre hospital. During the first wave of the pandemic, Loretta did not see her children and grandchildren for some time. She was actively working and supporting patients who came in for emergency surgeries. Here is Loretta's story:  "I am a Full-time RN in the Surgical Outpatient Dept. When Covid Restrictions first began at the Hospital & in the Community, it was a very scary time for everyone! This was unchartered territory. Fear of the unknown. Isolation!
I work in Healthcare, my Husband crosses the border once or twice a week as an essential worker. We did not see our kids or grandkids for some time. We were able, Thankfully, to have Zoom Meetings. Then we graduated to social distance get togethers with our immediate family. It’s hard but we’ve adapted for the sake of everyone’s health. At first surgery was put on hold except for emergencies. That meant that the patients we were now seeing were having surgery due to cancer diagnosis or had a diagnosis where surgery could not be delayed. These patients were coming into the hospital alone (due to visitor restrictions), nervous & scared! It was a very trying time for them & while my heart ached for them, I also felt privileged that I could be their personal support. It has been very difficult for families & Patients & we totally understand that. For the most part, everyone has been very understanding & compliant. PRHC, & Peterborough as a whole, have stepped up their game & everyone has pulled together. We have learned from the rest of the world & ultimately been able to keep our numbers down. This is our new way of living for now & the immediate future....masking, physical distancing, & hand washing! I’m proud of my coworkers, my work family. We’ve gradually worked through our anxieties re the unknown & supported each other tremendously. We are not in the clear re this Virus, but we’ve adapted to coping & doing our best!" At the beginning of this pandemic, a bunch of local Peterborough Photographers wanted to do something special to show our appreciation for our local health care workers. We got together and decided to offer free photography sessions for the front line staff and first responders at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC). These complimentary sessions are being offered this fall, in September and October. This is Krista and her partner, Brian. Krista is a nurse who works in the NICU at Peterborough Regional Health Centre hospital. Along with medical care, Krista offers support to families of babies who are not well enough to go home. It must be a very emotional time during Covid for families with babies who still need to be in the hospital, plus the uncertainty of what's going on with the pandemic, means different and unique support required for these families. We thank you Krista, for your dedication and commitment to helping vulnerable infants and their families. Here is Krista's story:  I am a Registered Nurse in the NICU. The pandemic has definitely had a humbling effect on me, it's given me the opportunity to slow down life a little and spend more quality time with my loved ones. I think the most challenging aspect has been the uncertainty, especially in the early days of not knowing what to expect and how impacted my day to day life would be. The most rewarding aspect is that I still get to work with some amazing babies and their families, helping them to adjust to being in the NICU and getting them ready to "graduate" and take their babies home.
