I was ready for this new year! I revamped the session plans, added new incentives, changed up my workflow, bought lots of new props and had lots of plans! Then POOF! I’m suddenly at a stand still. Houston, we have a problem.
What’s the problem?
Well, as every military member is quite familiar with: NEW ORDERS
I bet you are thinking, “Hey, when it’s time to transfer, you just got to get up and go – you knew it was time.” But we are NOT due to transfer, we’re NOT up for orders. My husband’s orders may be cut short due to some big changes in his command and because there is nothing available here that is beneficial to his career, we are most likely going to have to move in about a year. But because dates have not been released and we’re waiting for the official word, we are all just standing by. [This affects his entire squadron, not just our little family]
How does this affect YOU, my clients?
At the moment, it will not affect anyone. But to be cautious, I will not be able to schedule any sessions after August of 2012. I know, that seems far away and no big deal. But it is a big deal to families who wanted to be a part of any of my 1st year baby plans. Right now, the current clients on baby plans have nothing to worry about, they are fine. But I will not be able to accept any new babies on a 1st year plan if their 1st birthday falls after August of 2012. I will also not be able to accept any toddler plans. I’m so sorry for this inconvenience.
Because of this, I have decided to add Milestone Sessions. This will allow all those cute little babies to have their milestones captured without mommy and daddy having to worry about an incomplete investment in a baby plan. They are available now, click HERE for more info.
While we wait…
All sessions will continue as regular. I will continue with the plans I have made. When I hear official info, I will be sure to post it immediately here on the blog and through email.
Keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. The last time we moved, my husband & I were newlyweds with no kids, no furniture, no cars and no real possessions. Boy, that’s all changed now.

Blessed Life Photography - Liberty, Missouri Photographer - Your clients are so blessed to have you for another year and a half!
Erica Porter - Oh how frustrating! We are actually due to move in June 2012, so it doesn’t change anything for me, but for your other clients, I’m sure they are bummed! So many of us have pretty much become addicted to your photographs, it will be sad to find someone else. Although wherever you go, I have no doubts that you will be successful!
Melissa Rieke - I can’t imagine being a military wife. You are a strong person! I know your clients are going to enjoy having you around as long as they can! 🙂
