I will be "closed" from December 17th-31st (I'm sure I'll still be answering email/calls, however, and collecting and delivering orders), with sessions to resume in January. I will also be closed during February to catch up on administrative tasks, and just spend some much-needed downtime with my kids and family (and continue to catch up on laundry!). I have already been getting calls for next spring and early summer, so if you're interested in booking a date, it's never too early to call.
Although I haven't completely ironed out the details (geez, this keeps resorting back to laundry, doesn't it? ;), I'm going to be introducing some new things next year, including a new online ordering system, a digital package, new print collections, and, *cross fingers* I am desperately hoping to soon have an announcement regarding indoor studio space. (Not your typical background/prop type of studio, mind you...) The majority of my work is going to continue to be on-location, outdoor work, however. I truly feel that outside is where I work best, where I take the best portraits, where kids enjoy being the most, and continues to offer me the best light. I HATE cold weather. I'm a true summer baby and love it when it's 95 and humid, so don't think that if it's 20 outside that I'm going to be dragging your kids outdoors for a two-hour session, but if we can pop in and out of the cold and into a warm house or a warm car and run back out to take a few more portraits, I'm game all to get you the best portraits as possible. When thinking about your session, remember, layers, layers, layers! And cute knit hats and scarves are ADORABLE during this time of year, too! (Trust me, I'll probably be colder than your kids. ;)
As such, I've decided to continue offering a mini session package for us cold-weather wimps, as well as full sessions through the end of March. Please inquire for details. This is also a great time of year to consider portrait sessions conducted around an activity, such as sledding and snowball fights followed by drinking hot chocolate and cuddling around a fire. I LOVE thinking outside the box and when people express a desire to get something other than a traditional posed family portrait--no moment in a family is perfectly posed; these are the real moments to be forever captured and celebrated.
Oh yeah, and I'm a little behind preparing the blog contest, but it's coming. Promise!
As always, I appreciate your comments and suggestions and just plain 'ol hearing from you. Drop me a line at jennifer@jenniferbretonphotography.com with your thoughts.
Although I've still got two more '07 sessions left, I sincerely want to thank each of you who worked with me this year. When I hung out my shingle in March, I had NO idea that this would actually work, and I told my husband who handed me the checkbook with his blessing and a hand over his eyes, "well, I can always go bag groceries at Giant if it fails." Thanks for keeping me off the end of the checkout lane at Giant and doing something that I truly love. You truly have made my dream come true.
xox,
Jen
P.S. Because I know you'll enjoy this. This is MY Christmas card this year. Try as I might, I can't get a good one of the three of them together. Enjoy!
