I found a really awesome new hosting site for my webpage. It’s even better than the one I have now, and will offer new features for me, as well as for my customers. It also costs about half as much as my current one. Woohoo!!! However, I’m now on a time crunch to get it finished before the renewel date (done monthly) of my current site. Ack!
So, sometime before the 20th, I will be unveiling my new and improved website! I also have a new, slightly tweaked logo that I’m really liking. It is also my plan to unveil my new products. Just in time for those last minute Christmas portrait sessions!
Keep checking in. I still have images from last week’s portrait party to share. Next Saturday I also have an engagement session that I am really looking forward to. Engagement sessions are a whole lot of fun!
Don’t forget the deadlines for Christmas!
November 14th – last day for portrait parties.
November 19th – last day for regular sessions.
December 1st – last day for normal orders
December 15th – last day for rush orders.
December 16th – January 1st – no portrait sessions or orders taken.
Last note… Grandma had a biopsy done of some “suspicious” looking spots in her lungs. The doctor removed something roughly the size of a golf ball and it the surgeon said it didn’t look good. She’s home at my mom’s now after the biopsy, and they’re all waiting to find out the results. Hopefully the doctor will get them in on Monday, but it is looking like it will be Wednesday. Please keep her, my mom, and my aunt in your prayers.

I’d forgotten how much fun these are! I don’t do a lot of them until the holiday season starts getting close, so I forget what I like about them. I love the fun atmosphere of when a group of friends and families get together. I love the work in it. That sounds really weird, especially because when I’m done I feel like I’ve run a marathon, but I love the pace of it. Shooting is my absolute FAVORITE part of being a photographer (trust me, there’s a LOT more to it than just snapping pics!) and in a portrait party setting where you spend a few hours with several different families and kids, it’s just a rush!
I really think that everyone involved loves the parties, too! The kids pick up on the fun atmosphere. Parents love that it’s a quick, inexpensive session and that there is usually food involved. And the person who hosts it loves it because they get some great freebies and credits towards their own photos!
I just finished my first portrait party of the season. I’m actually uploading the photos to my computer now. It was a blast and I can’t wait to share some of my favorites with you!

How on earth did that happen? I’m still waiting for summer, so how did it get to be this late in the year? It’s even more depressing when you go to work and see pallets full of Christmas trees and ornaments in the back room. UGH!!!
It shouldn’t surprise me so much. I’ve been encouraging people to get in for Christmas photos since August. And now that it’s October, it’s even more important to start thinking about it. My schedule is starting to fill up, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead a bit.
Other than my disbelief in the lateness of the year, there’s not much to say. I’m finally healing up from having the wisdom teeth removed. Oh it feels so good not to be in pain. 
Everyone enjoy the few nice fall days we have left! It will snow before too long.
