Update/ News for Colleen Dustin Photography

I wanted to post a little update/FYI for my clients and potential clients.....

I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and due within the next Week and a Half.  Yay!  We are super excited and can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl.  I promise to blog here when he or she is born to let you all know!

I am due September 10th

With that being said, here is an update on my schedule upcoming and into fall/holiday pictures.

September: I have no more availability before the baby is born.  I will be taking "Maternity Leave" September through October 17th.

*I will only be scheduling Wedding Consultations, Newborns and if needed Sweetness Collection members while on maternity leave*

(I will still be editing, designing and fulfilling orders as well as working on Holiday Cards so feel free to e-mail)

October: I will begin scheduling sessions again on October 18th with limited availability.  I will be shooting mostly evenings and weekends.  Weekends I will schedule no more than 4 shoots a day.

November: I will again be scheduling mostly evenings and weekends.  My last session for "Holiday Portraits" will be Sunday, November 21st.  Any sessions scheduled after November 21st will NOT be guaranteed for holiday delivery.
**I will be offering two Micro-Session Days on November 14th and 20th. If you are not looking for my regular session but instead are looking for just a quick holiday card photo shoot. This will be a short shoot, with limited times/location/groupings/photos to choose from and card options.  You will be able to order additional portraits.  Please e-mail me if you are interested in this shoot, space will be limited.**

All Holiday cards/portrait prints MUST BE ORDERED by November 28th to ensure holiday delivery.  Any order placed after that will require a 50% rush fee. No rushed orders will be accepted after December 5th.

I will have an online gallery for Holiday Cards up in the next couple of weeks so be sure to take a look at that.

December: Appointments will be taken on a limited basis and will not be ready to proof until January.

Plan on calling or e-mailing early to reserve your spots as space is limited.  Also, please note if you are a returning client, my session options have changed.  To view your options go to my website and look at "Portrait Clients" and investment.  Thank you for understanding my deadlines and limited availability this time of year!

Colleen :)
