Seasons Within Seasons                   Did you realize you can strongly influence the look of your senior portraits by how early or how late in the year you schedule  them?           For instance, if you'd prefer lush, green fields and spring flowers for your photographs, there is a small window each Spring--a separate  "season" in the overall Spring/Summer/Fall cycle of senior portraits--before the grasses dry out and turn yellow, and the spring flowers are gone. And we're booking SpringGreen Sessions now!           For those preferring an early season session, we've set up a system that will ensure you'll have yours in that short window between the start of good weather and the drying-out of our grasses sometime May or June . And all at no extra charge, of course!              SpringGreen sessions are normally  limited to those that can be scheduled to take place before mid-June. (In warm, dry years, this end date may be even earlier.) This realistically allows us to plan and schedule about four weeks of Spring Green sessions. This year, our early start of a wet winter may have extended the season, but  as this is updated late in a very dry January '11, it's probably a little too early to predict.             To get things rolling for a SpringGreen session, call the studio at 356-5550 to set up a consultation appointment so we can get the basic planning for your session taken care of now, so we can move as soon as the weather and location is right.            Since we won't know exactly when conditions will be ready for photography until that time is practically upon us, we'll add you to our SpringGreen session list. Then, as soon as  conditions are right, we'll contact the SpringGreen list in the order each name appears on the list, and set firm dates to fit the available time frame. For the Rest of the Season, Don't Wait Too Long!           You may book your session at anytime to take place for any available date between now and the end of August. (See below for more scheduling details.) But even if you're looking for a mid or late season session, it may still be a good idea to get it on our calendar early:  We've doubled our senior bookings each year since we began actively promoting our senior services in 2007. Just One Senior Session Per Day!           For the record, we schedule just one outdoor senior session per day, Thursday through Monday, approximately April through August.  (September we save for "rainouts" from earlier in the season. If we have good weather going forward and have had few or no weather reschedules, we'll open September, beginning the last week of August. )             We can also potentially schedule on a Tuesday or Wednesday, but we'd have to secure a date  for you far enough in advance that we don't have anything  in our schedule that week to prevent us from switching  days around.           Yes, we could squeeze in more appointments, but we're a low volume studio for a reason, and it's what has enabled us since 1989 to treat each person walking through our door much differently than would a high volume studio. You receive individual attention, from your initial contact right through the compeltion of your order! The Next Step? If you have any questions, or are ready to schedule a session or a consultation, we're here for you!  So give us a call!
