Have you missed me???

I am around not to worry. I have had a few reschedules, so it seems as if I have been scarce lately. I have one tomorrow and one later this week, so I promise some beautiful faces this week. I am just looking at my calendar thinking this year will be over in what will seem like a few weeks. I am working on doing some restructuring around here next year. For anyone who doesn't know yet, I am expecting baby number three in April, so I am feeling amazingly excited of course, but also overwhelmed at how I will handle my day to day workload with THREE kids. I will be working through March provided I don't deliver early and will be off for April, May and part of June most likely. I do have some "grow with me" babies that will be due for sessions during this time, so I will still take care of them. I will not be able to take on any new clients during this time though. I know I have talked to a lot of you here and there who have said you want to come and see me next year, so what I am asking is if you know you want to come see me next year anytime, please let me know now. I would like to get everyone on the schedule from January to December who I know will come see me, so I can see what I have left to work with. My business has grown so much these last 6 months that the possibility of being booked 3-4 months in advance has become a reality. I do already have appointments booked into August next year. So, while I love this, I get a guilty conscience when people want to come see me and I am booked. I did learn my lesson though this summer when I overbooked myself and got stretched too thin. So, this year, I am setting my limits and sticking to it! I have to for the sake of my family and my sanity. These kiddos grow so fast and I am so fortunate to get to stay home with them that sometimes I feel like while I am here with them, I am not really here. This will be our last baby, so I want to treasure every moment of that precious first year and get back to being Mom first to all the kids. Of course, I will still deliver the attentive service you all expect and amazing photographs as well, but I am just limiting my work load is all. I am not asking anyone to pay for their sessions now, sessions need to be paid for within 30 days of the actual session date, but just want to know who is coming to see me. I will take my "grow with me" babies first, then fill in remaining dates on a first come first serve basis. Like I said, no working in people this year, so schedule early!!! I am going to have some cool new products and packages coming next year and may even start to do some "themed" mini session events later in the year. For example, a "cowboys and indians" with a Tee-pee and western theme, tea party with lots of frilly girl stuff, Halloween, etc. So, if anyone thinks that is a good idea and would want to attend these minis let me know to motivate me to put it together! Anyways, that is all for now, so check back this week for some pics of some cute baby girls!
