The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the annual tradition of gathering the family together for one magical portrait. But hold on to your Santa hats, folks! Before you dash through the snow to book your session, let’s chat about why cooking up those holiday portraits early is more essential than finding the last slice of fruitcake on the table.
The Importance of Early Planning
Imagine this: it’s mid-December, the holiday jingles fill the air, and you realize you haven’t booked your family portrait session yet. Panic sets in like trying to untangle Christmas lights from last year. You call your favorite photographer (that would be me!) only to find that—gasp—the calendar is fully booked! What’s the holiday spirit without your family’s joyful faces on a card that you’ll send to family and friends?
Booking your session early not only ensures you secure a spot but also gives us ample time for editing, design, and shipping. After all, we want those gorgeous shots to shine, not just match the color of the wrapping paper!
The Nitty-Gritty of Deadlines
Let’s talk about timelines, shall we? In the world of holiday card prepping, time is not just a concept; it’s a ticking clock. Take a moment to schedule your family photo shoot now, and remember to keep the deadlines. Designing those fabulous holiday cards is like creating a masterpiece—there’s a delicate timeline involved.
Once the photos are taken, here comes the editing phase: cropping, correcting, and ensuring everyone is looking their best—that uncle who always blinks? Yep, we can fix that! After the edits, there’s the design part where we turn those lovely portraits into eye-catching holiday cards. Then, of course, the printing and shipping to you. This process can take time, so don’t let the postman sneak away with your cards. Imagine your loved ones receiving them in January; “Happy New Year!” just doesn’t quite hit home like “Merry Christmas!” or “Happy Hanukkah!”. If you’re planning to send out New Year Holiday cards, there is a bit more time for those.
The Holiday Hustle and Bustle
The holiday season is a bustling time for family portrait photographers like me. Think of us as elves, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure you get those scenic, heartwarming family shots in time for the season. By booking sooner rather than later, we can ensure that everyone on your list gets to experience your delightful faces—and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to show off how cute you all look in matching holiday sweaters?
Spreading Joy, One Card at a Time
The joy of the holiday season is all about connection, sharing laughter, and spreading cheer. The last thing you want to worry about is whether your holiday cards will make it in time for the festivities. So let’s avoid any post-holiday mailouts—unless, of course, you’re the one planning to be fashionably late!
In conclusion, don’t delay! Book your holiday family session with me sooner than later to ensure you get those precious photos and cards shipped out just in time to make everyone’s day a little brighter.
