 The Sowa Winter Festival has been around for six years and continues to share the holiday spirit officials say. Events and marketing director Heidi Arne decided to add a new twist with a new Christmas portrait studio. And we're hearing so many amazing personal stories of you know people coming back out for the first time after this long haul through COVID and getting their picture taken together. Photographer Yan Yu-Yi Wang was hired to help families get in the holiday spirit. Everyone comes through the door with a different story and their story really enlightens the day and it's just filled with holiday joy. It's really great and privileged for me to be here and take photos with families from all walks of life. The Hauser family has sent out Christmas cards every year, but wanted to take a more creative route this year. We're always looking for something different and new and I saw an advertisement on Facebook about the Sowa market and I'm like that would be so much fun. The holiday portrait studio at the Sowa Winter Festival is expecting 80 bookings this holiday season official say and it will be open until December 12th reporting from Boston. I'm Connor Keating for BUTV 10.
