Don’t miss the chance to take a free photograph with the Easter Bunny at the Town ‘N’ Country Mall this spring, thanks to Rob Hoskins Photography who will be running a temporary studio between 1 – 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 30 for one day only.
Rob Hoskins is the owner of Rob Hoskins Photography and also the comic book store at the mall. He’s also a familiar name among local parents as his studio also hosts photos with Santa Claus when he visits from the North Pole and again during the spooky Halloween season.
“We got a big ‘ol Easter Bunny (and) we bought a brand-new background just for Easter,” Hoskins confirmed regarding the March 30 event.
There’s no intended age range for the photo opportunity, but younger children will probably derive the most joy from the occasion. This time around – unlike Santa’s yearly visit right before Christmas – there will be no charge for the privilege.
All photographs will be available in a digital format, and Hoskins said they can be readily accessed from a private and personal link provided on his Facebook page, ‘Rob Hoskins Photography,’ which is where he conducts most of his business correspondence.
When a picture has been taken, the link will also direct each participant to his online picture gallery that contains past examples of his work.
Hoskins has been organizing photos with Santa at the Town ‘N’ Country Mall for around ten years now and describes it as one of his favourite ways to pass the time.
“I love the (Town ‘N’ Country Mall) because the mall has given me the ability to (take) those pictures and they host the space for it,” he said. “They give me the space, and I bring in the talent,” he added in good humour.
The photo opportunity is being offered without charge as a way to give back to the community and to “let all those people who want to get pictures done for fun, for free.”
Hoskins has been a professional photographer since 1996, and in or around 2018 he decided to go independent with his own company, Rob Hoskins Photography.
In addition to his traditional mall photographs primarily intended for children, Hoskins said he covers almost every subject matter including graduations, weddings, family photos, and frequently photographs kids, dogs, and other family pets as well.
Guests can also look forward to a new Halloween backdrop that will be available for photo opportunities this fall, and following that, a new Christmas-themed backdrop has also been added for the upcoming Christmas holiday season.
“We wanted to just up the game a little bit,” he said regarding the new backdrops.
To have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny, all you have to do is stop by the Town ‘N’ Country Mall located at 1235 Main Street North on the afternoon of March 30.
