Families enjoy free photo shoot ahead of Mother’s Day

Thirty-two families celebrated their bond during a free photo shoot by a professional photographer in the Vancouver Quarter on Saturday.

The pop up studio was situated next to Costa Coffee and opposite Wilkinson on New Conduit Street and ran from 11am to 4pm and saw 77 children have a picture with their family.

The families booked their slots online to ensure their family was captured ahead of Mother’s Day and are now able to download them for free from the shopping centre’s website.

Following the success of this and the Valentine’s photo shoot in February, centre manager Abbie Panks said she hoped to organise another free photo shoot for families later in the year.

“We’ve been delighted at the success of both photo shoots – they were a brilliant way for people to have their photo taken for free and we were so pleased with the take up from the public,” she said. “The Mother’s Day photo shoot was particularly pleasing as it was fully booked a few days before, which shows there is huge demand for people wanting to have their picture taken by a professional.

“There will be plenty of other free events in the Vancouver Quarter this year, including the return of our very popular Halloween event and Christmas Grotto. Next up will be free Easter activities on 4th April. Follow us on Twitter, like our page on Facebook and keep an eye on our website for details of events when they are confirmed.”
