Well, it has been an AMAZING journey since I took over the downtown studio, very busy and I met so many new clients and had the pleasure of seeing a lot of my past clients again… (which I love) .  Last year I learned a lot about balance and staying inspired – the hard way. At the end of December I’m pretty sure I experienced a form of burnout that in all my years of working, I’ve never had.  I tried to work, but just didn’t have the energy and found myself in my pajamas for about two weeks or more. It took me about 3 weeks before I could get back to my normal routine and I was really not my happy self and had some days that I was just downright depressed.

This has taught me that I need to balance my work a little better and take more breaks.  Part of the problem gets to be that everyone waits to have photos done in the fall, which make my shooting schedule insanely busy.  Ideally I would like to be able to balance the work so that people come for family photos between Jan & August.  This will serve a few benefits!  Your photos will be unique!  I LOVEEEE winter sessions with the blowing wind and trees in the background, the lake is DIVINE in the spring time.  AND…  I’ve got a gorgeous natural light studio that’s awesome for the young families.  And, the sessions fees will officially discounted between Jan & Aug. (and past clients receive $25 off of that)   And wouldn’t you just LOVE to be that much further ahead when Christmas comes?  All you’ll need to do for gifts is call me up and place your order.  No worries about trying to fit that session in between kids concerts and Christmas shopping!

So do yourself a favour!  BOOK now for your updated photos, family sessions are awesome this time of year!  Here are some samples of off season fun!
