Christmas Portrait Update
It's hard to believe that we're less than two weeks away from starting Christmas portrait sessions for 2023! My first release sold out within hours, so I had to open up a second release and add another 25 spots within 12 hours, which are almost full again. So today I will be adding a few more scattered session days and times within the dates already released, so I encourage you to book and secure a spot before they are sold out.
Weekend Dates
Currently, I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to add another weekend date to the calendar. It's challenging to get my assistants to work on weekends since they have children, and I also have several children's birthdays in November, which makes balancing family time and work a little more difficult. Therefore, no further weekend dates will be added as yet as I prefer to add additional dates once I start shooting, depending on how things are going.
As I now have a new separate Boudoir studio space and I am considering extending my session date and times until around the 22nd of November. However, I will be careful to monitor my workload and energy levels so that I can keep up with editing and delivering images. These later-date sessions will only be scheduled once I am fully confident that I can continue to provide my best service to clients. This means it won’t happen (if it does) until after I start shooting so mid to late November.
To prevent any disappointment, I suggest that you don’t wait and book a date as soon as possible. This will give you more flexibility in choosing dates and allow for any unforeseen circumstances (like children getting sick). It will also give you more options for ordering products in time for Christmas gifts.
For VIP sessions, not only are they more flexible with how long the session and viewing is, but I can be a little more flexible with dates and times and they can be booked by appointment. So get in contact if you would like to book a VIP Christmas Session.
The New Studio
As a brand new shooting space, I have been conducting trial shoots to ensure everything is perfect for when my clients arrive. With each session, I love my space even more and look forward to showing it off to you all when you return this year. The set is truly exceptional, being bigger and better than ever. We have a stunning new white Chaise that is perfect for family or sibling portraits. The new studio has options for both natural and artificial lighting allowing shooting times to be wide across the days I am shooting.
So that’s it for now, I am all ready to see your faces in the new studio for this years annual Christmas Portraits. Please note, for those who book over the 5th of October until the 12th of October, your emails with your full guides for your session may take a little longer than 48 hours to get to you as I will be having some down time during this period before the Silly Season officially kicks off.
