In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
(These are my plans, but only God knows the day of Georgia's arrival).
I'm over 35 weeks and scheduled for a c-section at 39 weeks.
I have less than 4 weeks left in this pregnancy and 2 weeks and 2 days left in before my maternity leave starts. In that time, I plan on completing 14 sessions on the books as well as uploading those sessions as well as two more previous sessions.
I'll be placing one big order next week (for those of you who've already ordered and paid) and one more order on the 24th for those who order and pay after that initial order.
My last day is June 24. I will return Sept. 1.
If you have proof requests or orders you want placed prior to my maternity leave, you'll need to get those in and paid for before June 24.
My plan is to place orders received after that point on one designated day at the end of July and one designated day at the end of August.
This should still keep your orders coming to you within the 4-6 week window.
To clear up any confusion, I have complete control over all proofing and ordering. It's not an automated process to the lab when you press the order button. I go through each order with a fine tooth comb to assure your images meet my quality standards in terms of color, cropping, and design.
I'll be recovering from major abdominal surgery, enjoying a newborn baby and a 2.5 year old. In advance, I want to thank you for understanding this process and respecting my time away during this transition.
After June 24, I'll be available by email, but don't promise to be tied down to my blackberry responding at lighting speed. This being my 2nd go round at motherhood, I now know how quickly the first year goes and don't want to let technology and business distract from time I can't ever get back.
I will be promoting 3 Fall {Portraits for Hope} events during my leave in August. I'll be taking apts. for those events when the promotion starts on the blog and Facebook.
There are only 6 apts. left in September, so if your baby plan baby is due for a session, you want to start your new baby on the plan, or you want a regular session in that month, let me know ASAP and I'll get you booked. Those dates are going fast.
Thanks so much for your support, business, and friendships along the way. My growing family thanks you for all you do for us. We wouldn't be in business without you!
