Availability Update

Hi Everyone. In response to the wonderful growth of the business that I spoke about in the last blog post, I need to update everyone regarding my availability for sessions. I am currently fully booked through the first week in December. I really wish I could take on more sessions for holiday portraits but it just isn't possible! I have, however, started a waiting list for those who would like sessions before Christmas. I have already been able to move one family into a session spot when I had a cancellation! So if you want a session and have not already booked, please contact me to put your name on the waiting list.
Along those same lines, my session scheduled for this Sunday, October 12th has had to reschedule for a very good reason. Their oldest son broke his arm over the weekend and is in a bright green cast for at least a month! No one from my waiting list is able to take this session date so I am opening it up to anyone who might want it. If there is anyone out there who wants a session before Christmas and is available this Sunday afternoon, please email me as soon as possible to reserve the session.
Also, please keep in mind that I always allow room in the schedule to work in maternity, newborn, and baby plan babies. These are not the type of sessions that can wait, of course, so I always work them into my schedule. So feel free to contact me at any time if you are interested in a maternity or newborn session or would like to book a baby plan (3, 6, 9, and 12 months) session.
I feel very blessed to be meeting lots of new faces and many of my favorite UpperCase families this fall. I just got the first Christmas card orders in this week and I can't wait to see more of them in print. They are beautiful!
I also want to thank all of you who responded to my questions in the previous post as well. Your answers were great and I am taking all of your suggestions to heart as I plan for the new year. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! The winner of the gorgeous 5x5 album is Erinn McKiernan. Congratulations Erinn--I can't wait to fill that sweet album with new photos of Miss Avery!
And now, on to the really good stuff--new images! I have had the opportunity to photograph just the SWEETEST little boys over the past week.
I have photographed Jack's sister a couple of times, but this session was just for Jack to celebrate his third birthday. I knew we were going to have a great time when I opened my car door to hear him saying "Hi, Ms. Julie..Hi, Ms. Julie" and waving at me. I think he was excited that is was HIS turn for a session. Have you ever seen anything cuter than his doggie sweater and mongrammed turtleneck--such a classy little fella.






And tonight's family with two boys was just adorable as well. Little Owen was so laid back and a thumb sucker (you know if you read the blog that I have a "thing" for thumbsuckers...they just melt my heart). And older brother Liam was such a great conversationalist for a five year old. He told me all about his class picking out pumpkins from a pumpkin patch and when it was time to go, he blessed me with a hug. You know things went well when my subject wants to give me a hug at the end of a session!




This image I think speaks so much about the big brother/little brother relationship and about the personalities of these two boys. :)


A great family image despite the moles that were crawling around under the ground they were sitting on!


Thanks for reading--more new session images coming soon!
