As most of you are aware I have 3 children of my own. As they are getting older I am finding the work/life balance is getting harder and harder to achieve, especially as my business grows. So, I do put some limits on my calendar….block off specific dates for family fun. I never want to miss out on making my own memories because I am capturing somebody else’s, you know?

So, today I decided to lay out my calendar for the rest of the year. I wanted to make sure I was aware of exactly how many sessions I could fit into my fall schedule without making myself miserable. Well, here I sit shocked at how limited my weekend session availability is. I HATE the thought of turning people away. I love what I do and I want to say yes to everyone who requests my services. Unfortunately, it is looking like that is going to be nearly impossible to do.
As a result of this revelation I am letting you all know exactly what weekend days I will be booking sessions on for the rest of the year. None of these dates are completely free of appointments, but each of them has some time available for additional bookings.
So, PLEASE, if you are interested in a session at some point in 2015, contact me now. All current available dates are listed below. In parenthesis I am listing where I will be for those sessions. This is just a general location. I will still travel to surrounding areas. If you would like to be included on my list of clients who want to be notified first for the mini sessions, please send me a quick message and I will add you to the list 🙂
Note: This does NOT apply to newborn sessions as they are typically done during the week.
I met Mike & Jess when I photographed their wedding in 2011. Spending the day photographing their wedding felt like hanging out with old friends. I have had the pleasure of photographing them, along with their extended family and Porter, the dog, several times over the last few years. So, when I received the call from some of my favorite people in Bloomsburg asking if I would be willing to be their maternity photographer, needless to say, I was ECSTATIC! At the maternity shoot I learned that Mike and Jess did not know the gender of their baby and they were not sharing their names. So, anxiously I waited. And 11 days ago I got “the” phone call. Kayleigh hand arrived! And she is perfect. See for yourself.

I am trying my hand at custom birth announcement. There is a lot of room for improvement, but I am having a great time playing with them! What do you think?
