Um... how is almost August?
Anyone else still feel like it's supposed to be May and school is about to get out for summer? Somehow we're already talking about back-to-school. Um... nope... not ready....
A few studio updates....
๐ธ 1. Sneak peeks...
I have about nine sessions to post sneak peeks of. I know... we've been here before.
One change you'll notice this season is that sneak peeks are being shared differently. Unfortunately, photographers are dealing with more and more watermark removals. So, I've had to adjust how I share images to protect my work. Thanks for understanding!
๐ป 2. Editing Queue...
Here's the list:
โข Burton - Proofing (loading)
โข Edel - Final Gallery
โข Ohnsorg - Proofing
โข Schutt - Final
โข Goemer - Final
โข Evans - Final
โข Gust - Proofing
๐ก 3. Studio Rentals
I'm excited about this one! I've been getting more and more requests about renting out my studio. Soon the studio will be available to rent by the hour or day for photography sessions, small pop-up shops, makers and creatives, workshops and other small events.
More details to come!
๐ฅต 4. Summer Heat
We went from pleasant summer to living on the sun's surface. Moving forward, if the heat index is above 90ยฐ, we'll have a conversation about rescheduling. If it reaches 100ยฐ or higher, sessions will be rescheduled. I want everyone to be safe, and I want to give you the best!
๐คง 5. Sick Policy Reminder
As we head into back-to-school germ season, I'll be more strict about my sick policy.
if you start to feel sick the week of your session, please let me know as soon as possible. Think about it this way: if you wouldn't go visit your frail grandmother... we should talk about rescheduling. I want to see your face (but without boogers).
โค๏ธ 6. Thank You
I truly don't have the words to express how grateful I am for each and every one of you. Thanks for your incredible support. I know that times are tight right now, so I'm humbled that I'm almost completely booked for 2026.
Whether you've trusted me to photograph your family, referred a friend, liked or shared a post or simply cheered me on... it truly means more than you know! Rustic Thyme Studios wouldn't be what it is without the clients.
And finally... a personal update...
Apparently we're a cattle show family now. If you've had a session with me... this will make you chuckle! ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
This year's summer adventures include a cattle show. Here's one of my favorite photos of Emilyn, Ariel (the cow), and Curtis.
Now tell me...
What have you been up to this summer? Any fun vacations, camping trips, sports, or fun adventures? I'd love to hear what you've been doing!
