I’ll officially be out of the office Thursday, November 24th-Monday, December 5th!!!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you didn’t catch the post on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, the 2 day workshop is officially SOLD OUT! I’m so excited. I literally cannot WAIT until February. I have a great group of photographers coming from all over Texas and Oklahoma and a couple of girls from HAWAII and ALASKA!! So honored to have such an amazing group of ladies traveling here and cannot wait to get started.

The workshop may be sold out but I’m still offering a couple of one on one mentoring days, so be sure and contact me if you were unable to snag a spot at the workshop and are interested in a one on one or possible a Skype session if your unable to travel to Paris for a one on one.

I also still have 4 spots open for the 1 day camera class for hobbyists, moms and those of you just looking to learn how to use your DSLR camera to take better pictures! You can find the rest of the details HERE.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about offering a day of Vintage July 4th mini sessions. After an overwhelming response, I ended up opening 4 days! Those filled up immediately but I do still have some openings for the Dec 29th (no theme) and Feb 3rd Valentine themed studio mini sessions. Email for availability and more info!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As far as availability goes I’m currently scheduling for MAY 2012 and I only have 6 more openings for the month!

This year has just completely flown by me. I’m still waiting for things to slow down, just to realize that the fall season is now kicking in and there is no time to rest. But thank goodness for the cooler temps!! I have been so busy trying to keep up with the workload that I haven’t posted any updates or personal blogs in awhile. Things have been crazy as usual.. but mostly in a good way. :) While each year I do continue to get better at it, this year I’m going to really stick to my goal and substantially limit the number of sessions and weddings I take on.. even more so then the last 2 years. My little firecracker is keeping me busier and busier these days and I want to be able to have a little downtime with her this year. I just wish there were more time in the day!! As far as scheduling goes.. 2011 officially booked up a couple of months ago!! I’ve got 2 sessions still available for January, 2 in February, 2 in March, April is already full but then things start to open up a little more around May. If your wanting to schedule a session please email me at info@taraswain.com (or through the contact section at the top of the blog.)

I’m looking forward to finishing out the 2011 year with a bang and I’ve got some really exciting things happening next year that I can’t wait to share. :) (No, I’m not pregnant.) I think that is always the first thing that pops into someone’s head. ;)

I’m also working on some brand new, updated marketing and handouts for brides and clients booking portrait sessions. I’ll try to post some shots of it when I get it all finished and ordered!! I’ll be out of the office most of this weekend.. starting today!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
