i'm thinking christmas

yep! already! it's time for me to start buying templates for Christmas cards! designers have started to release their new designs for 2008. i've already purchased three sets from two different artists. so, samples will be coming soon!

i'll be sending out my "season's greetings" letter next month with more detailed information. but it is certainly not too early to book your holiday session. and for anyone interested in hosting a portrait party, now is the time to contact me. you definitely want to get that on the calendar before i start filling it up with regular sessions.

my family will be taking a vacation over thanksgiving week this year. and i want to make sure everything is done prior to leaving! so, my holiday season will close out on november 15. i'll take one "last ditch" session on november 8, but that client will have to be willing to make a quick ordering decision so that the order is in prior to my trip. all holiday orders will be delivered/mailed by december 9. but ideally, i'd like to get them all out prior to my trip.

so, now that the deadline discussion is out of the way, let's chat locations! my favorite location for holiday sessions is downtown. however, downtown sessions require full-length sessions. i do wish i could do mini-sessions downtown, but there is simply too much to explore for only 20 minutes time. so, i'm still tossing around a location for holiday minis this year. last year was sullivan's island and hampton park. and i know that at least one day of mini-sessions will be on saturday, october 25. i will take five sessions, starting at 8:30 am, every half hour.

so, season's greetings and merry Christmas! here's a silly picture for you (just so i'm posting a picture)!
