With only two months to go until the big day, it is time to start thinking about your Christmas portraits.
I always like to send a family photograph to friends and family far and wide around the world along with my holiday greeting card, and I usually get quite a few back. Often we don't think to send photographs throughout the year, or we just share a few mobile phone shots on Facebook that will be glanced at for a moment then forgotten. Photographs I receive at Christmas often end up on my fridge until an updated version is received the following year, and there's nothing nicer than finding a family portrait amongst a sea of store-bought cards in your mailbox. Or, maybe you want to frame a print for Mum and Dad, Nana and Pa, brother/sister/aunty/uncle/cousin and wrap it to go under the tree. Either way, it is time to book your portrait session now.
A portrait session may only take a couple of hours out of your day, but it is the behind-the-scenes work that takes the time - booking, contracts, planning, editing, viewing and ordering, printing, presentation and delivery. And that doesn't take into account the work you do after you receive the prints - choosing a frame, mounting and wrapping, or finding the perfect card, writing, and getting it in the post. A realistic time frame for a portrait session, from the time you contact me to book your session to the time the prints are in your hands, would be one month. So you can see why you need to book now to have your prints in time for Christmas.
If you're stuck for a gift idea and don't want to be the one in front of the camera I also offer gift certificates.
