Thank you so much to all of my clients for allowing me time over the holidays to celebrate with my family and reconnect with friends. It was a much needed break.
Not to mention, if there was ever a time for chaos, it was nice to deal with it while on holidays. Between our families, one tibial plateau fracture, one case of Bell’s Palsy, one diagnosis of early colon cancer (with the associated surgery to render our loved one cancer free with a clean bill of health… amen!), two tiny broken metatarsals and one inguinal hernia with surgical repair all hit between December and January. Yikes. Here’s to a healthy and happy 2010! No kidding.
If you’re a keener, you will have noticed there are a few missing items on the website. I’m in the process of streamlining things in the spirit of simplifying my site and blog. I will also be cutting back on the number of photos shared per session in the months to come. Not for lack of time, but because I want your first peek of your stunning images to be when you open up your new beautiful slideshow. Yup, that’s right. SRPD has taken the plunge and moved to a brand new shopping cart system which will start with an online slideshow set to music and is chock-a-block full of handy little perks that make ordering soooo much easier. Say goodbye to recalculations, separately emailed package photo numbers, announcement and card details. Instead you will be able to input all of this and more RIGHT ON YOUR ORDER FORM. Not to mention the ability to insert your coupon codes, gift certificates and print credits and apply them BEFORE checkout. Easy peasy for us both no?
So … on to the aforementioned news… Not that it is new to anyone out there anymore really but…
SRPD is…
Ummm yup… and not just a little either. Nearly 22 weeks to be exact. Which means I am completely out of commission for the month of May. Oh and perhaps June too. 
I am also now booking a very limited number of sessions for the spring which are filling rather quickly, so if you’re sitting on the fence, now might be the time to inquire for sessions February through April. I do have one or two spots left in January but once they’re gone, they’re gone. I’m so sorry to those who have begged to get in, in the past. It’s very difficult for me to turn clients away, however I really do want to provide and maintain a superior level of service and devote 100% of my work time to my booked clients. It’s a change I’ve been moving towards for some time now and I feel 2010 is the year I will make it reality.
Just one more for now….
Yup… no more monkey’s jumping on our beds. Poor stinker. Seems we’ve been keeping the fine folks at Dundas and Walker’s US and Radiology busy anyways.
I’m so excited to announce an incredible opportunity for those of you in the eastern end of Canada… I was recently lucky enough to have been invited as one of five phenomenal portrait photographers from across Canada to be hosted in Montreal, by Natacha Silber Photography, for a fun-filled weekend of camaraderie, collaboration and most importantly….lots of photography.
