Happy August! Hopefully you are getting back into a bit of a routine again with the kids back in school, or online school, or in home school. It's crazy to think we are still in the midst of this pandemic, but alas here we are. I have really learned to let go of expectations through all this... how about you?
I am receiving lots of inquiries about my fall schedule. I have been posting some to Instagram to keep folks updated (and shared this post back in January about how this fall would look for me photography-wise) but I wanted to update you here as well on where things stand as of now with my fall schedule.
My son has started playing club baseball (his favorite sport since about age 4) this fall, so we are going to be knee-deep in all things baseball over here. The coaches are still waiting on the field allotment for all the weekend games and tournaments, so once I receive those, I will have a better handle on which weekend dates I will have remaining.
He said early September, so as of now that is when I expect to send my newsletter out with available dates.
Mini Sessions
As I mentioned in that January Instagram post, I am not planning to offer as many Mini Sessions this fall as I have in the past.
I have done them for several years in the fall because I really dislike turning away valued clients & hate to say no to those who have supported my work over the years. So it was my way of trying to fit as many of you in that I can. Last fall 2020, I photographed 50 families between Sept-Dec, and had 53 others on a waiting list, so I know this will mean serving far less this year, but one thing I've learned from this whole pandemic is that I can no longer hustle-hustle and burnout like I used to.
I am so incredibly grateful for those of you who have supported my work through the years and I value the many long-term repeat clients I have more than you could ever know. And I love meeting new clients each and every year and want to serve you all as best as I possibly can!
There are only so many dates a working Mama has and so this fall, I'm planning to only offer a couple of full lifestyle sessions per week (2-3 at most) & really connect with those of you I can during the best light of the day, explore some cool new places, and not feel rushed, while also allowing for lots of personal family time as well.
Current Available 2021 Fall Dates
I am currently booking M-F sessions between 8:30 AM-3:00 PM for September-November in client's homes or at a few recommended outdoor locations in the morning (8:15/8:30 AM start time) or some Monday evenings in the hour before sunset. If you would like to schedule at one of these times, please just contact me here to get the ball rolling!
Once I get my son's game schedule, I will know if I will have any weekends available for sessions. Thank you for your patience, interest, and your support! - Jen
