The studio will be closed from July 17th thru August 3rd. I will return all emails and phone messages after that time!  I hope everyone has a great couple of weeks – Stay cool out there!

I am headed out of town for a couple weeks, so the studio will be closed from 7/26-8/12. All phone calls and emails will be returned after 8/12.

Thanks!

I am headed back to Iowa for my Dad’s 60th birthday so the studio will be closed from June 17th to the 24th. I will return all voicemails and emails after that time.

Thanks!

Whew – I think I need a vacation from my vacation! We arrived in town yesterday and I am diligently working my way through messages and emails – I ask that you be patient, but if you haven’t heard from me by Monday, please call or email again.

I will have stories and pictures to share soon – My plan to blog while away was thwarted by a less than reliable internet connection.

I just realized today after discussing my calendar with a client that the calendar itself was WAY off and showing dates that should have said “Available” as “Busy”.  This has been corrected now. I typically schedule sessions on Tuesday and Thursdays at either 10am or 1pm, and Wednesdays at 4 or 5pm.  I do have weekend availability, but it typically books up several weeks in advance. Please see the Calendar for the times available.

I am really excited – I signed my 4 year old up for t-ball. It’s our first organized sport and I will admit, I am a bit nervous about having to make practice times and games. Kev is going to love it though!

With this announcement, though, I have changed my schedule for April and May to have Sunday availability, rather than Saturday, to ensure that I am able to make all his games and cheer him on.  Please see the Availability Calendar for weekend dates that are available.

Thanks!

Here are a few things I wanted to mention:

1. Calendar of Availability – I am in love with Google Calendar and have integrated it with into the blog (see link above) so that clients can get an idea of my availability for shoots. In general, I am booked 2-3 weeks in advanced, if not further for weekend dates… which brings me to the next change…

2. Starting March 1st, I will be offering weekday session times 3 days a week – during the day on T/Th and later afternoon/evening times on Wednesdays. I will still be offering limited Saturday sessions, but there will be an additional session fee required to reserve these prime spots.

3. Outdoor Sessions – This isn’t so much of a change as it is a reminder that March and April are the PRIME MONTHS to have outdoor portrait sessions! Once May and the 100+ degree temperatures hit, I turn into a wimp and prefer to retreat indoors to my studio for sessions. There are a lot of great places to do family or even kids sessions, such as Anthem Park, Mesa Arts Center or even DC Ranch Market Street, so contact me ASAP to schedule your session!

4. Grandparent Sessions – I know many of my friends and clients who have parents who winter in Phoenix (or even live here all year round) so March & early April is a great time to schedule a Grandparent session with your children and your parents. Trust me, these will be CHERISHED images by your parents and decades from now your kids will love looking back on them.
