Happy Monday everyone! I hope your family has enjoyed both the relaxing and busy moments of summer… and I can hardly believe that fall is right around the corner! School starts in just a few weeks, which brings big changes for many of your kiddos, and I hope they’re all excited for what lies ahead. Here at Sweet Pea Photography, there are several exciting things planned for this fall!
* New Beloved Sessions! One of my favorite things about working with families is seeing the affection, playfulness, and love between parents and their children. Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about these relationships, and the unique opportunity I have to interact with your family and perhaps even create positive change in the way you view one another. Beloved sessions grow out of the emerging field of experiential photography, and are designed to make your Sweet Pea Photography experience so relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful that our time together continues to positively affect your family relationships long after the session has ended. Beloved Couple sessions are designed for married couples who simply wish to celebrate their love for one another and be reminded of why they first fell in love. Beloved Family sessions are the new standard session, and encorporate new playful games to create a space in which we’ll create and capture honest interactions between your children and you. I’d love to talk with you more about this new approach to lifestyle photography – just ask!
* New Locations! As an artist, it’s important to keep my creative juices flowing… so beginning in September, sessions will take place at new locations around Champaign-Urbana! You’re always welcome (and encouraged!) to have your session at your home, where your family is most comfortable, but if you’d like to explore the great outdoors then we’ll explore together!
* The Holidays are Approaching! I know it’s only August, but the holidays will be here before you know it! Sweet Pea Photography offers custom holiday card design (new designs will be revealed soon) – and this year, 100% of the profits of Sweet Pea Photography holiday card purchases will benefit the new Champaign County YMCA! This is a great opportunity for you to support a fantastic community organization, and share beautiful holiday greetings with your friends and family! You are welcome to use images from any 2011 session on your holiday card, but December 1st will likely be the cut-off for holiday orders this year (and perhaps the start of the annual holiday gift certificate sale??) so please plan ahead when scheduling your fall session or placing holiday card orders!
Which brings us to the big news for today… the August – December schedule is now OPEN! Look at the tabs above, click on session info -> availability and you’ll see a list of all the available session dates and times for fall. Then call or email me to request a time, and we’ll get it set up! Don’t forget… your session fee will be due to reserve your session date/time. Looking forward to the colorful and cool days of autumn!
