So the end of 2011 was a bit of a blur. Not only did I continue shooting until the 24th of December but my family has temporarily relocated to southern California. My husband had a fantastic opportunity to work for a great company so we “ripped the bandaid off” and made the move over the holidays. Fortunately there is not a lot of “sting” that accompanies a move like this in the middle of winter:). It did, however, add a lot of busy to get everything in order…especially over the holiday season.
All has gone well though and we have made it through the transition relatively unscathed.
What does this mean for Tot Shots? I am maintaining my studio space and will be traveling back monthly to shoot and service my clients. Jess will also still be available to shoot (I will be blogging some of her fall work shortly). I also hired a studio manager in September to help me run the studio during one of the busiest times. Cristina has been an amazing asset to the studio and will be staying on to maintain client care. Although I can do a lot from my office in California, i have always run my business being in front of the client and like to have a friendly face there for you if you need it.
I currently have my first three trips booked for:
- February 2-5
- March 7-12
-April 19-22
The February trip only has one time remaining and March and April have a couple. Please contact me for times.
In addition, I am legally entitled to work in the US and will be available for sessions in southern California. So if you are down here and would like to capture some relaxing vacation time, please let me know:)
Thank you for your continue patronage. I look forward to working with your families in 2012. Now that things are settling I will be going back and sharing more work from the fall. Here is just one of a little guy that made the trip from Edmonton to see me before I left:)
This mom has been so patient waiting for a sneak peek from me. She will not get to see the rest until the new year due to my scheduling through December and the first part of January. It is such a busy time of year and I have taken on a bunch of additional projects (more on those in the new year).
I shot this little one’s sister at about the same age so mom wanted to make sure she got similar treatment with her own session. It is so nice to work with this age (just over 6 months) and it is extra special to just get to work with just them and get all of the details of this age. I had to focus on her expressions as she had some great ones. She is such a happy baby.
Just working on editing this session and had to share one with her mom:) Lots more to come.
I blogged one of the images from this session but had to follow up with a few more. Big sister was such a darling:)
i learned at a friend’s party this year that i was on this client’s “to do” list. the family was so wonderful to work with and i was so glad to finally meet them all. more soon:)
It is that time of year where I could just copy the blog post from the previous year as it is always the same at this time of year. I am way behind in blogging. It has been such a great season of old and new faces. I promise to get to sharing more of the sessions soon as well as more about the girls that have been helping me get through this very busy season! Here is a quick share of a little one that I have had the pleasure of working with on a number of occasions since she was born. Love watching her grow and working with her family. More soon:)
i was just working on art with this client and we were talking about this image. it is one of my favourites from their session (i am not sure why it was missed in the initial blog post). actually it is a favourite from this year. had to share it.
i was very excited to meet this 6 day old little guy. he was giving his mom a tough time that day but did a wonderful job at his debut shoot. look at his amazing eye contact! i have been trying to hurry to get this sneak peek out to her so that she can see how well he did. i am so excited that i get to see this little guy and his family for the rest of the year:)
