Updates for the New Year

I am sitting down, with my home and office all to myself, for a whole work day.  First time in three weeks.

We had birthday, Christmas, New Year's, weddings, sickness, and life happening and I am ready to be back at it full swing.  Shooting really never ceased, but I haven't been in the office.

Just wanted to pop in with a few updates and random photos that don't really have to do with this post.  If the updates don't really apply to you, pass it on to someone for whom they do.

We've had our regular inquiries for weddings for 2012 and 2013 weddings over the last many months, but we are in a unique situation.  We are hoping for another child sometime in the hopefully near future. Combine my medical history with an industry that often has bookings one or two years in advance and we hit a strange challenge with scheduling.  So many unknowns...

We really want to be able to commit to couples that I can actually photograph their wedding.  So for the past 6 months or so, we've been closing months for wedding bookings and opening them as we feel comfortable. We are now open through August of this year... So sorry to all of you fall brides who are still on the waiting list. We aren't quite there yet- if you are still holding out for us, we thank you for your patience! We are so honored!

Winter is a big time for engagements, so please contact us right away for a wedding consultation and to schedule some engagement photos!

Short engagement? We might just be the best fit for this season of our lives and yours.

Since we haven't been booking as rapidly as in the past (since we've had months closed for booking), and have been trusting that we'll still get the weddings we need to support the minsitries that we do with our business, we want to make sure that people know we do have openings left. So here's the deal...

Weddings: We will give a 20% discount to all wedding packages booked with an album for now through May 2012.  That's huge! Spread the word... Also, we rarely offer custom wedding packages, but for spring of 2012  weddings (January-May), we will offer custom packages for small weddings.

Engagement, Family, Kids, Babies, Maternity: We finally have WEEKENDS! Many families love our work but can't make a weekday or week night session, and since we do a lot of weddings weekends aren't always an option.  But we have a handful open right now.

Go ahead and book your late winter, early spring sessions now!  You, too, can have a sweet photo with your kids. I know I love this one with my son taken just a few weeks ago...

Let's enjoy this mild winter and take some photos. Winter is still a great time for photos- indoors, outdoors, at home, out and about.  The possibilities are endless. I've got a little something for everyone up my sleeves (and since it's winter, my sleeves are long).
