From the Haugen Heart

Schedule an Appointment The secret to  a relaxed experience with Santa is that we schedule appointments. There is no waiting in line and plenty of time to talk to Santa and calm frazzled nerves. He will be here all day on December 10 but the appointment times are filling fast so send us an email or call 503-838-5416 if you would like to schedule.  How Much Is It?   This event is really affordable. You can purchase a 4x5 print for just $12, or a package for $35-$65.  Come on and join the fun! 

Honestly, I am not a big shopper so I generally avoid the malls and big retail stores on Thanksgiving weekend. If I have to pay full retail for socks on a different day, I will. That got me thinking. Wouldn't it be great if you could Shop Local while still cozying up to the fire in your jammies on the day after Thanksgiving? You can do just that by purchasing gift certificates to Haugen's online! We are having our own Black Friday and Cyber Monday special. Just go to our online shopping cart and purchase gift certificates for all your friends and family for 25% off the face value. We can even mail the certificates to you. Wow, that's easy. Now that is MY idea of a great way to shop!

Time to party! I have a number of small business owners that will be coming to the studio and sharing the fun stuff that they do. You can do a little Christmas shopping, sip some wine, get a massage, and have some fun with friends. FAQ's There is NO CHARGE for this event. Seriously. We were just wanting to say thank you to our clients and meet some new people along the way. We would love it if you supported the vendors by doing a little Christmas shopping and buying a raffle ticket would be awesome (see the next paragraph) but if you want to come and just hang out, that would be great, too. We will be selling raffle tickets for a gift basket full of goodies. Funds received will go to support Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep . This is an organization that provides beautiful photographs to parents suffering from the loss of a baby. If you plan to come, give us an RSVP so we know how much food to buy!
