Are you having a baby? If so, please pre-book your appointment. Whether it be for a maternity session or a newborn session, please call the studio a couple of months in advance to co-ordinate your appointment. As I head into Fall and the holiday season, sessions fill very quickly. As of today, fall weekend sessions are sold out! The next available regiular weekend date is February 2008. The mini-session dates will be announced the first week of September so if you are hoping for a weekend spot, call early to avoid dissapointment. Your name can always be added to the waiting list for cancellation notification.
I am often asked when is the best time to schedule a maternity session? Ideally between 34-36 weeks. If this is your first baby, aim for week 36 and 34 for your second or third or... you get the idea. The exception is for multiple babies. You may be able to have your pictures taken around week 32-34 depending on your progress. The beauty of pre-booking your session is the flexibiilty we have to move dates around as needed.
Same is true for newborns. While we can not always predict the date, if you have prebooked a session, then you are guaranteed a session date and I will move my schedule around to find a suitable time. If you have not prebooked a session and call, you may not be accommodated. Last year was a very busy fall and holiday season and while I tried to accommodate everyone, it was not always possible. By the first week in September, MOST days were filled as families began thinking about holiday gift giving ideas. There is still time in the fall to have beautiful outdoor photos taken and the studio is conveniently located near the beach or forest (which also creates a stunning backdrop for matenity and newborn pictures).
