If you have been following my blog of my FB page for the past few months, you know all about Bethanie. She was diagnosed with a rare type of leukemia in July. I have done pictures a couple of times for the family since August or so. Our plan was to go up to the hospital a couple of weeks before Christmas and do another shoot, but Bethanie was let out of the hospital for the next 8 weeks! So....the session moved from the hospital to the family home with all 4 girls, plus mom and dad!
I have been such a bad blogger in the past couple of months. It's just so easy to post sneak peaks to Facebook that I forgot to post them on here as well. One of my my resolutions for 2012 is to blog each and every session.
Some news for 2012...I'm currently getting bids to finish a bigger studio space in my home. If you have been here in the past couple of months, it is very cramped down there to say the least! Add a running 1 year old, both parents, and me and there isn't much room to move! My plan is to turn my current area into a playroom for my kids and for siblings that come to photo shoots and use the rest of the area down there for a studio and have a small bathroom. The new area will be about 17X24....much more open space than what I currently have! I hope to have a couple of different shooting areas down there as well so there isn't as much setting up and tearing down during the session, which will mean more shooting time! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to have more space! My hope is that work gets started in January and is done by February/March.
Also, in 2012 I am starting returning client program. If in the past 3.5 years you have used Kristin Geerts Photography you will receive $25 off of your session! This will be valid on full sessions only and not applicable to the Baby's 1st Year Plan, Event Photography, or Mini sessions.
Lastly, starting in 2012 a non-refundable sitting fee of $53.50 (w/tax) will be due at the time of booking your session. A bill will be sent via paypal to your email address and must be paid within 72 hours. If you do not use paypal we can figure something else out! If it is not paid within 72 hours, your date will open back up. If your child is sick on the day of your session or something else comes up I will gladly reschedule!
I think that's it! Thank you to everyone who helped to make 2011 a great year at Kristin Geerts Photography. I hope to see you all again in 2012!
Now that Christmas is just around the corner...yes, I said Christmas, family photo season has started! Lots and lots of families coming in the next month and a half. I do have a weekday session or two still available in October. After October, that will probably be it for outdoor sessions for the year unless we happen to have a warm November!
I've been really bad about blogging again! I don't know why, because it takes no time at all to do it. Labor and Delivery, Maternity, Newborn, LOTS of 1st birthdays! Here is a little peak of what has been going on at Kristin Geerts Photography lately!
