Customers, Please Read...

As most of you probably know by now, I am almost 23 weeks pregnant, but I am still working and taking pictures! I plan to work through my normal Christmas season (mid-December) and then, the waiting game of baby girl Jaclyn's arrival begins.

My due date is January 26th and I plan to be on maternity leave from the studio until late March. This will allow me roughly 6-8 weeks to recover and adjust to being a first time mommy.

Having said that, any ordering, whether it is Seniors or babies, must be placed by November or the first of December. I will not be working on orders during January-March. So, if you need prints, you MUST get them to me prior to this time.

I will resume my studio duties and sessions late March. Unless something unexpected arises, I will be back in the studio no later than April 1, 2010. This will allow me time to finish up any Senior portraits, proms, etc. before school is out.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 662-305-5687!

Fall & Halloween Specials

I am not going to be offering the "It's Fall Y'all" and Halloween "Spook Shoot" this year. I already have a very busy schedule lined up with Seniors and babies and do not have an available weekend for either. (I will be out of town during Halloween.)

But, good news...as always, Winter Wonderland is set for December 1-5th. It's best to set up your appointment now in order to get the spot you want. Sessions this year will be a little longer (20-30 minutes), so that means fewer sessions/day! Mini-session fees and pre-purchase of packages will still be the way this special works. (One outfit only)

Winter Wonderland is also the only time that I will have a holiday set up of props.

If you desire a more in depth holiday session (family, infant, etc.), please schedule a regular studio session beginning in October or early November. This will allow enough time for proof viewing and ordering.

New Online Proofing Site

Just an update to the proofing at the studio...

Beginning September 5th, I will no longer be using the Zenfolio website for online galleries. I will be using Collages.net for a trial run! I think this site is exactly what my customers have been wanting- ability to zoom on images, compare side-by-side, even put your favorites in a folder!

After much thought and deliberation, I have decided to still offer online galleries. But, there are some new rules in play...galleries will remain online for 10 days only- there are no exceptions! Once your gallery expires, they will not be available online.

Also, on the day of your appointment, we will agree on a date for you to come place your order. This date will be within 14 days of your session. In order to keep offering images online, this will be my new method! This way, orders are placed in a timely manner- making everyone happy :)

If you have questions about this new system, please call me at 662-305-5687!
