I've had LOTS of requests for mini sessions, so I thought now, with Christmas coming up, would be a great time for some.
I know, I know. Christmas?! Is summer even over yet? But we all know how it goes - school starts, then suddenly it's Halloween, then Thanksgiving and then, oh, wait...is there still time for Christmas cards? So, actually, now is a perfect time to start thinking about them!
So here's the deal. Instead of setting just one or two dates for mini sessions, I'm opening several weekdays up for them over the course of a month.
Mini sessions will be held in the morning (around 10 a.m.) or evening (around 5 p.m.) on select weekdays from October 11 until November 18. Please call for available dates (there's a limited number - and they're likely to fill up fast!).
There will be three location options in the Statham area (including a studio option, urban option and a natural setting).
The session fee is $85 (due at booking) and includes:
- A 20-minute session for up to five people; please ask if you have a larger family
- 20 images to choose from in an online gallery
- 50 flat Christmas cards OR 35 folded Christmas cards OR 25 flat Christmas cards and two gift prints (8x10 or smaller)
- High resolution digital negatives can be purchased for half price ($200).
Keep in mind that this session is not a typical session and is meant mainly to capture a limited number of photos for your Christmas cards (but, of course, you'll have the option to purchase prints and products from your session). Since we're limited to 20 minutes, it may not be the best fit for very young children, and we'll stick to either family photos or photos of just children. If you're looking for outfit changes, individual photos of your children and several different types of shots, a regular session is probably a better fit for you. If you're unsure if this type of session would work for you, feel free to call and we'll chat about it!
You are going to LOVE the Christmas card designs this year! I'll be showing those on the blog early next week! UPDATE: View the 2010 cards here.
And on another note...holiday scheduling!
If you'd like to schedule a regular session and you want either Christmas cards or photos to use as holiday gifts (they DO make awesome gifts!), the last date we can hold your session and still have your prints/products in time is November 30.
The last date for ordering Christmas cards, prints, or products (excluding books) will be December 4. The cutoff date for ordering coffee table books is October 31.
To book your mini session (or a regular session) just email or call us at 678.316.7906 as soon as possible! Hope to see you soon!
