Session bookings! {Toronto and Durham Region Newborn Photographer}

I wanted to take a minute to talk about session bookings. This summer as been the busiest summer to date with lots of wonderful babies and families booking studio and outdoor sessions. But there is only one of me and I like to give each and every client the attention they deserve, so I do limit the number of sessions I take in a week. By the time I factor in session times (in the case of newborns can be upward of 4-5 hours), editing time, print ordering time, client consultations etc...it's amazing how fast the week fills up! I recently even chose to re-arrange my holiday time to accomodate some wonderful newborns! I just hate saying no, especially to newborns :) Unfortunately though I have had to turn away several last minute newborn sessions this week...If you are wanting a newborn session please contact me as early as possible to reserve your tentative date and time. (actual session date/time will be firmed up as soon as your baby arrives) I book tentative times according to your due date to ensure that I don't book too many newborn sessions around the same due date.

So let's get down to the nitty gritty... Just recently the booking inquiries have been coming in all at once and I wanted to let everyone know that unless you have confirmed a session date/time AND have received acknowledgement from me either verbally or by email then your session isn't booked! I give out the same availability dates to everyone one that inquires and until there is a mutual confirmation the date/time is up for grabs, first come first served. I do have a policy that your session isn't confirmed until you pay your non-refundable 30% session fee deposit. I have been a little lax with enforcing this policy in the past, but due to the volume of sessions I have been booking lately, from this point foward, this will be the only way to guarantee a session time will be saved for you. (those of you that have already booked your sessions and received confirmation from me, not to worry if you didn't pay your deposit...your session is booked!) If you have any questions or concerns about your booking please let me know.

I am going to leave you with just a little peek at these two beautiful little sisters! Oh my, they were amazingly mellow little girls! Loved working with them and their mom!
