I wanted to get a few updates and reminders out there, as fall is typically my busiest season, both professionally and personally. It’s going to be December before I know it!

First up. Now is the time to start thinking about holiday photo sessions and/or holiday cards. I know! It’s crazy. Summer is barely over (actually, these days, it feels like it’s still in full swing, with those scorching temps!), and I’m already talking about the holidays. All photo sessions for holiday cards must be completed by November 15, in order to guarantee your cards in time for the holidays. Not looking for holiday cards? Then book anytime!

Next, a new offering from me: mini-sessions! I know how hectic fall can be, with the kids back in school, sports, activities, family time, everything. And finding time for that family photo can keep moving down the list, until you realize it’s December 1, and you have no idea where fall went. I will be offering mini-sessions in addition to full sessions from now until November 15, to help make things a little easier for you.

Mini-Session Logistics:

- sessions will be 30 minutes in length
- you will receive 9-12 edited images in an online gallery for viewing–galleries will be available for 7 days; rehosting fees will apply beyond this time
- mini-session package will include the session time and EITHER a set of 48 custom-designed holiday cards OR two (2) digital files to create your own holiday cards with; additional cards, prints, files, and other products are all available for purchase
- sessions must take place within 5 miles of zip code 01721 (I am happy to supply location choices if needed)
- price is for up to 5 people; there will be an additional cost of $25 per person above this
- sessions are first-come, first served–please refer to the calendar on my website for available dates

Price: $250

Lastly, holiday cards! You want to see them, I know. I have some new offerings for 2010, and also have the cards I offered last year, found here and here.

The first set are a little different. These are round die-cut cards, that are also ornaments! There is an image below to show you what they would look like as an ornament. I loved these, and think they’re a bit unique. I also have these available as square cards, if you’d like a more traditional look.

I am also offering these new traditional folded cards, that I LOVE:

Stay tuned to the blog, I have a bunch of sessions to post, including a gorgeous rustic wedding from July, that will be coming asap!! As always, feel free to email me with any questions or comments, I love hearing from you.

Happy (almost) Fall!!

Images shown below are front and back of the cards–they are double-sided, not folded cards, just FYI.

October is gearing up to be a very busy month, and I wanted to post some samples of the custom holiday cards I’ll be offering my clients this year. This is Part One, the Modern Traditional cards. (Part Two is coming, they’re Modern Eclectic, I LOVE them.) I just couldn’t decide between the two styles, so I decided to offer both.

The designs below were created by the fabulous Jamie Schultz. The card colors can be altered to match your favorite photo, which I love! There are more layouts than are pictured here as well, the options are endless.

2009 Clients: If you would like to order cards using a photo or photos from your session this year, I would be happy to work with you. Please contact me if interested.

Potential/future clients, please note: if you are looking to schedule a session for holiday photos and/or cards, the session must be completed no later than Sunday, November 8. I am of course still taking on sessions after that date, but can not guarantee you will have your cards in time to send out for the holidays. My calendar is up to date on my website with dates I still have open–I am VERY limited on weekends at this point. Please contact me for more information, or if you have any questions.

Happy Fall!!
