Maternity Leave… baby on the way!

Hello dear readers, clients, and perspective clients…

We’ve got a new bundle soon to arrive at Blossom & Bee Photography this month and while things are *really* progressing, our littlest blessing hasn’t appeared yet.  However, all the fun side effects of the last month of pregnancy have!

I’ll be taking a lot of time off the month of January in anticipation of our little guy’s arrival – to get some much needed rest and to take care of myself health-wise so officially, this is the start of my maternity leave.

What does maternity leave mean for a small business owner?  My goals will be to continue to check my email + voicemail and responding to inquiries and client needs regularly, but it may take me a day or two to get back to you due to the demands of having a newborn.  I thank you in advance for your patience!  In regards to booking portrait sessions… I will be taking both January and February off from bookings, but would be happy to meet up with any perspective clients to begin planning a session come March – this includes baby sessions, families, individuals, and engagement sessions.  In regards to wedding bookings… if you are comfortable with doing an interview over the phone and I can send you samples of past weddings online, that would be ideal and I can do those any time during normal business hours or evening hours.  I know some couples really prefer to meet with their photographer in person before booking, so doing those during the evening hours will be best over the next few months so that I can cover baby needs.  I am presently booking weddings for 2010 season and will be available for bookings from March thru December, 2010.

If you have a upcoming wedding for 2010 and would like to inquire about packages and pricing, please call or use the inquiry form to submit your details and information (date of wedding, location, etc).  Please be sure to leave your phone number as well… sometimes those darn spam filters immediately throw our response emails to your junk box and if you don’t leave a phone number, there is no way for me to follow up with you to see if you received our response.

I can’t wait to share photos of our little guy as soon as he arrives, so stay posted over the next few weeks!
