daily mantra:

“i believe that wisdom is about accepting that life is difficult, but recognizing the beauty that exists on this very bumpy journey. i believe it is about being gentle with myself and those around me, about recognizing all the tender places we share as human beings who are all searching for meaning, comfort, love, shelter and maybe even the perfect sunset.”

taking a blog break for the next month to enjoy my friends and family over the holidays. honestly, after a busy season i am looking forward to throwing myself into domestic bliss.

just some biz notes before i go:

*if you have scheduled an appointment for 2010 but have not paid your deposit, please do asap. if i receive your deposit after january 1, 2010 you will be under the new pricing for 2010.

*as many people have asked,  i will tell you that i am not going to be having a sale this year on sessions and prints. i will, however, be looking for models for the rebuilding of my website and the model searches come with SO many goodies {free stuff…yay}, i am sure it will not disappoint. i will post those online as they come up. i will post the first one on January 2nd, 2010.

* i am fully booked for 2010 weddings. i am currently taking a list for 2011. i am humbled that this list is long.

*current clients: all orders expected in time for Christmas must be in and paid in full by December 15th if you want to receive them by December 24th.

*i will still be answering phone calls, photographing sessions, conducting business meetings,  processing orders, shipping orders out, working on the sessions i have left, etc, so do not hesitate to call me and save me from my children. in fact, you have my number…call me every couple of days to make sure they haven’t taken over the asylum.

*last but not least…thank you. thank you for sticking with me this year, leaving comments, or just stopping by to read. every reader makes my business a success, and it means so so much to me.

*also, i wasn’t joking about the phone calls.
