Business (or busy-ness)

Ok, just a quick business post. Sorry for the interruption to shoots here on the blog. I’ll be back tommorrow with the wedding I shot about 2 weeks ago, so that’s something to look forward to, right?

1. I will be taking the month of August OFF. I have three more shoots to do this weekend, and then I will be on vacation until September. Need a break from shooting to refresh and get some creative juices flowing freer. Not to mention, I’d like to make it to the beach on weekends before the season is completely over. I’m sure John would probably like that too since he’s had the boys all weekend every weekend so far this summer!

There will still be blog posts here (like I said yesterday, I still have 6 shoots to edit and blog- not even including the 3 coming up this week) so stop by and visit. I promise there will still be stuff to see and read! Granted, a bunch of it will be about my family, but you still kinda like that, right?

And, when I say I’m taking August off- it’s not really all the way off. I will be doing all the post processing on shoots, posting to the blog, answering emails and phone calls. Just not doing any shoots. So if you need something or want to book a shoot, please contact me anytime bbeyrer1@optonline.net

2. Over my vacation, I will be working on some new stuff. (so see, it’s not entirely a vacation!)  New pricing and packages for 2009 with some cool new ideas and add on’s. Christmas card templates for 2008. Plus, a possible class offering for 2009. But that part is dependant upon interest from you out there! So stay tuned for roll outs in late August/September on all of that.

3. If any of you are interested in booking a shoot at The Planting Fields in Oyster Bay, please note that there is an additional $50.00 fee for a shoot there. It is not my price (believe me, I think it’s a little ridiculous but it’s so gorgeous there it’s kinda worth it!) but they require a permit to shoot there and that permit costs $50.00 (It’s $120.00 for weddings!). Just something to keep in mind.

4. Dates for September-December are booking fast. Especially November. If you are looking for a beach shoot, September is the best time (the earlier in the month, probably the better) as the beach is pretty empty and everyone looks tan and rested.

Don’t forget that your shoot must be completed by Monday, December 8th to ensure delivery before Christmas!

And since a post is no good without any pictures, here are some of my handsome, almost 9 year old boys. Nine? NINE?? Just can’t be possible! Oh, and they are FINALLY getting their teeth in. Even though Patrick will not show you!
