This is the time of the year
This is the perfect time to help support local artists and artisans and at the same time, simplify your Christmas shopping. A local artist’s CD or painting or other works, tickets to their show, or gift certificates for one-on-one courses are examples and are wonderful gifts to give and to receive! We all know people who paint, play and/or perform, etc. and by encouraging them, we help them gain public recognition while promoting local culture and home-grown talent.

This is but a sampling of the very talented people I know. I’m certain you know others as well who would be very happy to have you encourage them and show your appreciation of their craft. And as far as I’m concerned, I offer gift certificates for family portrait sessions, for artistic and creative sessions and for one-on-one workshops. And of course, you can also obtain a copy of my CD “Portrait intime” by emailing me at claude@brazeauphoto.com to get an actual CD or by clicking here for the digital version. I hope your holiday season is happy and wonderful and spent with the special people in your life. Thank you for encouraging our local artists and artisans! It means so much to us.
