Craziness. A few thoughts

So I've decided my blog will probably be pushed aside for the next little while. My time will be in trying to get all my galleries up and time editing (I'll try to throw a few on here and there). Please know that ALL YOUR SELECTIONS NEED TO BE IN BY THE 30TH, if you want your discs and prints before Christmas =)

Next year I am seriously planning a few "mini sessions" for people, ahead of time because I was really trying/wanting to work out a time to fit it in this year but, lame, I've got nothing.... I don't have a single Saturday either, for the rest of the year. It would help us all out I think. Plan on it for next year, it will be a lot less in cost, but you'll only get a couple of edits on the disc. Yeah!? And I think I'll attempt my own Christmas card designs, I'm excited! Sorry I'm lame and didn't get it together this year. Here I talk ambitiously a year in advance, this way there will be no excuses to not do it I guess!

I'm looking forward to seeing all you. One tip, DON'T stress! That's for my clients but mostly myself.

until January

*Kim, sorry this is probably not the picture you expected to see for your "sneak peek" but it went along with my post :) You'll see more soon. Oh my, can't get over Grace's curls. She is one lucky Shirley Temple. Both your girls are dolls.

Because of my schedule for the rest of the year, I'll be taking new appointments starting again January 11th. Thank you, those who have let friends and family know about me. I'll still be posting plenty of pictures coming up.

I am sad. Where does time go? I've been trying hard to train/trick myself to think I DON'T NEED sleep ~ it's over-rated! Yeah, that's not really working out. :)

I am very much enjoying all the photography fun, but have to make sure I leave enough time for all the holiday goodness coming up. I can't wait to curl up with my kids and read Christmas stories, eat lots of yummy junk, play games, get in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and most of all take time to reflect....reflect on a lot of things.

Thanks!

FALL SCHEDULING

I've had a lot of people come to me with requests for family pictures this fall. I really wish I didn't have to even charge because I really just love it, and do it for fun....but I want a way to be able to save up for more photography equipment and workshops, etc. It also takes more time than people realize to edit photos - I really hope people understand.$125 for families up to 5 ($15 more for each additional person after that), for an 1-1 1/2 hr. session. That's INCLUDING the DISC with the pictures.. I'm going to schedule out SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER. I'll do them TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, or THURSDAY evenings between 5:00 and 8:00. Or SATURDAY MORNINGS. Please e-mail. Some of the days are already booked, so let me know and we can work out a time. I'm looking forward to it! Also, I'd prefer you pick a location, but have suggestions. Thank you!
