Well now that felt odd actually typing that out....the studio is officially closed, albeit temporarily, because as of today, I am on maternity leave!
I have decided to take some time to nurture my own newborn son, due this September, and also spend some quality family time. Although maternity leave is typically a year, I will be reopening the studio April 1, 2008 for sessions, and will be taking session bookings as of March 1, 2008, one month before the reopening.
Please note that date in your calendars and be sure to contact me early should you want one of the first sessions once the studio reopens.
There is a good chance I will be relocating the studio come April, so stay tuned for that exciting news once a suitable location is found and arranged! I am excited for what our new "home" will look like!
If you need to contact me during the maternity leave, please do not call, as the studio line will not be answered and voicemails will not be retrieved. Instead, please contact me via email.
I will not be replying to emails about:
1. Scheduling a session
2. Inquiring about studio products and services
3. Purchasing gift certificates
I will however be able to respond to emails from clients who are interested in placing reprint orders or those individuals seeking a photographer to capture their child's images through the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" program.
Given the volume of emails that I receive, I simply need to reply only to those listed above. All others, please re-contact me again after April 1st!
All the best for a healthy and happy few months, and I will continue to update the blog!
Best of luck to you Heather. I think it's wonderful that you are able to take off time to be with your new little person.
