central ky fall family photographer


Hi, there, my sweet friends! It’s been so long since I’ve regularly posted on this sweet little blog of mine. I miss it. I’ll be honest, when my mind gets overwhelmed, I narrow it all down to the bare essentials. Lots of things happen to be bare essentials in my mind, but blogging somehow gets booted out. Lots of things have been happening around here (including working with a business coach and being a part of a mastermind) and I know blogging is going back on the “essentials” list. Let’s have some fun on this blog again. Shall we? I’ll be posting some of my favorite sessions that haven’t been shared yet, along with some fun things to help you prepare for your family photos.

I get asked so often, especially here lately, “when do I need to book my session?” The answer is simple…

Book your family photo session as soon as you can.

Seriously. As soon as you think about it, you go ahead and contact your favorite photographer (eager little photographer typing raises her hand way in the air) and get on their schedule. Of course, all photographers are different. But, for me, booking early is best.

Why should you book your family photo session as soon as you can?

  • To get the best pick of dates and times (especially if your family is busy, this will help you get a date that works best with your schedule instead of having to bend your schedule to fit the session date).

  • To ensure you are able to get a session with the photographer you love. Many photographers, like myself, only take on a certain number of sessions each month. Sometimes that number isn’t as high as you would think because of all the work it takes on the back end. Each season has it’s own thing that may make a photographer book up quicker. Fall, for instance, is busy for most all photographers.

  • If money is on your mind, you are able to save, as well as, make payments along the way.

  • You have more time to prepare or dream up fun things your family can do during your session.

  • Christmas gifts. Seriously…I have clients in the summer who use their pictures for Christmas gifts. I use pictures from all throughout the year for gifts and on my Christmas cards (when I actually get them out). There are some photographers who do their holiday sessions closer to December, but most I know tend to do them in the fall. Doing a session in the fall (or sooner) that you want to use for holiday gifts gives you and your photographer plenty of time to edit the images, get them to you, get your order in, and process the order.

Wanna book your fall family session with me? Here’s a little schedule update…

SIGNATURE SESSIONS (what most have experienced throughout the year)

September…1 spot remaining

October…2 spots remaining

November…4 spots remaining

*holiday session deadline is November 16th

MINI SESSIONS

October 17th at Shaker Village…3 spots remaining

Will I get to see you in one of the 10 remaining spots before the holiday session deadline? Eek! It’s so exciting!

Love y’all so much!

Cilla

PS…Don’t forget, book your family photo session as soon as you can. Just get that checked off your list. Don’t let the beautiful chaos of your littles and the precious way they love in this season go by without capturing it for generations. xo
