can't believe that in three short months - I'll be on Maternity Leave and awaiting the arrival of my sweet little girl! My world will be changed. It will be better simply because of her - my heart sings just thinking about holding her in my arms and kissing her cheeks. I keep thinking about watching Chase hold her for the first time and crying so hard that my heart could burst. I absolutely LOVE being pregnant (I'm one of THOSE people) - but really, I'm so impatient, and cannot wait until she gets here. I just want to snuggle.. all.the.time. 
 
One thing I've noticed is that the farther along I get into this pregnancy - I am gradually getting even more tired... I thought this was supposed to end in the first trimester?! I've told a few people that I could fall asleep standing up - at the dinner table or even driving (so scary).. and with another full wedding season coming along - I know my little Ava is going to wear me out! 
 
Because I don't want to 'push' myself so hard that I fall asleep 'behind the lens' -- I've decided to only offer "half-sessions" for the next few months!! 
 
My portrait clients know that they're spending an average of 1,300.00 on their session and prints/products - and I was telling Chase last night that I am SO blessed to have clients who trust me and value my work and craft. These new 'half sessions' will come not only with a great value but with a great price too.. and this will help keep me awake the entire session =) No one likes a sleepy pregnant photographer-chick who eats kit-kat bars in between outfit changes... 'er' is that just me?! 
 
So all of these half sessions will include: 
Professional hair and makeup 
An online gallery where you can share photos with friends/family -- download -- print at your leisure 
30 minute photo session 
1 outfit change 
A 16x24 gallery block of your favorite images 
 
And guess what --- it's only 599.00 
 
Availability is limited (only 7 available spots) 
Weekday sessions only (sessions held in the evening) 
Only half payment required to reserve your session and hair/makeup 
Final payment due 1 week prior to session 
Va sales tax is not included 
Travel fees may apply
