{tardy pass}

ok so I am a bit late... I guess I could say I have been in denial that it is October! I cannot BELIEVE that we are already getting Halloween costumes together, that football has been in full effect and that I am even seeing a HINT of Christmas decorations. I am in shock!

I am behind in getting my holiday calendar out, and wanted to make it official on here - I am going to be doing some of the usual and then add in there some new fun stuff - there are some changes though that I need to address.

I have created a new pricing model that I am really excited about. It is a hybrid of sorts that will incorporate both digital collections as well as prints like I have always done. I have had countless requests over the years to offer digital files and so I decided that it was time. You will find the link to the guide at the end of this post and if you have any questions about any of it, please feel free to email me.

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY SCHEDULED - you will refer to the pricing that was in effect when you scheduled your session. :)

The other thing to be aware of is that for the special holiday sessions that are listed below, you will go by the pricing as if you purchased a collection. So the wall and desk portraits will be 50% off, etc.

All print pricing will refer to the pricing effective October 1st. That can be found at

www.fabulousoccasions.com/pricing/pricing09.pdf

Notice that after November 22nd, the mini sessions are for the disc only. Cards can be purchased from these sessions but no custom designs will be available.

I will be accepting full sessions until November 22nd. The only exception will be newborns or maternity sessions for the month of December and the first half of January. The studio will be closed from December 18th until January 18th. No orders will be placed during this time.

ALL print and card orders that need to be ready by December 17th MUST be placed NO LATER than December 3rd. ALL book orders that need to be ready by December 17th MUST be placed NO LATER than November 23rd.

Ok I know that is so much information, but it is all good important stuff. To break it down a bit more -

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HOLIDAY SESSIONS

October is completely booked

November has 15 full sessions open - 1 Saturday and 2 Sundays are the only weekend days left that have any openings

And because I can't post without some shots... take a peek at some of my fabulous senior reps for the graduating class of 2010!!!!!

Many many more of these 4 gorgeous seniors to come along with 2 other gorgeous senior reps!

Peace, Love and Fabulous

{lost and somewhat confused}

About my blog, that is!  I have totally lost track of who I have blogged, who I haven't - these past few months are a b l u r to me...  So I thought I would pick a senior that I had sooooo much fun with!  I think I will just have to do another update of the site, because there is no way in the world I will be able to catch up on here.  So go browse there sometime when you are having your favorite beverage of choice and enjoy some good fabulosity!  :)  

On another note, it is officially summer around here!  All kids home and currently keeping themselves very happy with the wii - thus the blog post.  :)  So, I will be working this summer, but will not be working as much so I can spend lots of time with my cuties. (they can't play video games all the time, right?!?!)  If you want to book for the summer, I have some availability, but not much, so get with me soon.

Here we go...  *as I was uploading these my kiddos have decided the wii is not what they want to do and are now begging me to watch their talent show - how can I turn down THAT invitation?!?!  - so no words today... just fab images of this beauty!*

peace, love and fabulous

{I love love}

I L O V E weddings - like as in big puffy heart them - they are so my thang!  :)  (ok i am a texan - i might not ride a horse but i can certainly pull off a texas draw when i need to!  LOL)

And my weekends have been consumed with them lately!  I am in the height of wedding season, and while the day after may not exactly be a cakewalk (especially when i think i am super woman and schedule multiple sessions the next day - um yeah - talk about tired) - the day of is such an adrenaline rush and I just love it!  

I am going to try to blog a slideshow of each of them, but for now, this is one I just got up online this past weekend.  I couldn't help but smile while I was editing these images.  The bride and groom are so in love and were so full of excitement - makes my job so easy!  :)  

I'll share a few images, too, for those of you that might be checking on an iphone or somethin like that so you won't feel totally left out.  :)

Here we go...  *this kind of got a bit out of control - what started out as a simple slideshow post turned into a beast of one.  :)   I don't suppose anyone will mind much *

i love it when we get to go jump on beds!  :)
