Holiday Minis are available!

2 Outdoor Options:
- November 16th - My regular holiday minis with some light Christmas decor (usually I add some ornaments to pines)
- A Weekday during the week of November 10th or 17th - If you're able to schedule in the morning (9-11am) or evening (2-5pm), we can schedule a mini in the Bolivar/Zoar area. Just choose week and AM/PM option, and then let me know which days of the week you are available, and I'll contact you.

INDOOR Holiday Studio:
- November 23rd - It will be a classic white snowflake type session in my basement studio. It's great for younger children, or holiday outfits that aren't winter warm ;)
- I will have the setup up for at least a week, so if the 23rd does not work for your schedule, send me an email and we can work something out.

I've been mulling over a Saturday date, but couldn't decide... if you'd like a fall mini on a different date, send over an email to [email protected] and I'm sure we can schedule you ;)

Happy 2025!!! Better late than never 🤣🤣

Long story very short - yes, I’m still doing photography, and yes, I will be having fall minis (tentatively October 11/12), and holiday minis (1st or 2nd weekend of November). Posting fall ones tomorrow morning

Long story medium long:

My website is now x4 the cost, so I have to make a new one… and I’m not looking forward to that, so it’s very low on my to do list. Shoot over an email to [email protected] for session questions

And I have another senior child. I don’t know if it’s because he’s my only boy child or what, but “the end” is hitting me more than it did with Stella…. For Stella I knew I’d have more volleyball seasons, more dress shopping, more high school girl stuff with the other two, but this is it for boy stuff. This will be his last football season, last season he’s the skinniest “big man” for basketball season, and last season I see him try his hardest to long jump 21’ and high jump over 6’! It’s hitting me and carrying to the “little girls” too, so I’ve been volunteering to be present with their activities as much as I can.

So yep, I’m still doing newborn photography and minis (and some seniors which is a lot of fun), but I’ve been off of my social media marketing big time… just trying to be present in family life :)

And what’s a post without a pic!?! Santorini, Greece this summer with the Bandys and grandma Peggy!

If all goes as planned, I’ll have my holiday minis set up by this weekend. After checking the forecast, if anyone wants to jump ship on their scheduled Friday/Saturday session and move it to Tuesday or Wednesday evenings (between 4-6pm), let me know 🙂

Amazing weather last weekend

2024 MINI TIME! (Yes, I am alive, I just cut wayyyy back on social media posts :) :) )

Click on the link below to book!

Fall Sessions, Winter/Holiday Sessions, and my studio minis are listed.

Outdoor sessions will be very similar in location to past years:) I'm also doing fall minis a weekend earlier than usual, guessing the hot dry weather will make the leaves drop quicker... fingers crossed I've calculated correctly ;)

Send me an email if you have a special request or question 🙂 I do have weekday availability for minis, just email [email protected]
*email replies usually happen from 6-9am, Monday - Wednesday.

Many of you know the tragic bus accident yesterday was my family’s school district, Tusky Valley. I have 2 high schoolers, and 2 elementary children that go to Tusky Valley. Stella and Barrett lost classmates, a teacher (he was actually my teacher too). Their classmates lost siblings and parents, one chaperone also had a son in Vada’s grade, it’s just devastating to the entire community. I am trying to spread the link to a larger area. Most of my fb friends are locals and already know donation details 🙂

https://www.trojanfoundation.org/donate

The district is receiving many requests on where donations can be made to support those affected by yesterday's tragedy. The Trojan Foundation has established a fund at First Federal Community Bank where we are asking all funds to be sent. We invite anyone who would like to give to send your donation to the bank or use the GoFundMe listed below; the GoFundMe funds will be deposited into the First Federal account as well. The Trojan Foundation will then distribute funds to those affected.

We cannot say thank you enough to everyone across the nation for reaching out to offer support. While we cannot respond to each message and phone call personally, please know your messages are being read, and we are grateful for your kind words, love, and support.

Please continue to keep our district in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Dr. Varansky and the TVLSD Board of Education
