If you are searching for a neat and different idea for a bridal shower gift? LEMME TELL YOU!

The bride on Saturday presented all of the details she wanted photographed together in this adorable box, and of course it matched their color scheme and vibes of the decor. It would make such a cute gift for a bride. I’ve never seen such a thing!

The box could be used with detail shots and then used as keepsake storage after.

GENIUS!

It still completely catches me off guard when I hear the question, "So how long have you been doing this?"

I've spent over half my life at least knowing that this is what I've wanted to do and fourteen years with clients 😜

If the weather is not favorable, the sessions will be cancelled. (I have no other availability on a Sunday before their flower season ends.) Watch Kelsey Wolfe Photography’s page for weather updates. If any decision is made to cancel, it will more than likely be the morning of or hours before sessions.

Available time slots are listed below as separate comments. To claim what time slot you want, please reply to the comment. Slots will be given on a first come first serve basis, depending on the time the reply was posted. If Kelsey Wolfe Photography or Kelsey Whittaker 'likes' your reply, you got that specific time.

Confirmation messages will be sent out the week leading up to the mini session date with additional information.

Please keep in mind that these sessions always tend to be on the hotter side, temperature wise. Dress accordingly if you end up with a session!

After going through my messages again this morning... I have an update:

Any NEW inquires received after this post is made will be told that there are no weekends or evenings available for the rest of 2026.

This update does NOT apply to a client for 2026 if:

- they've already contacted me before this post, even if we are still having a conversation to book and finalize the day
- they are pregnant and have notified me about when their due date is and what package/session they wish to book after the baby is here
- they are a senior wishing to have a highlight session in 2026 that has either had their full session already or their full session is booked and upcoming in 2026
- the client is currently in a grow with me package needing to book a milestone session still for 2026

If you have any concerns about if this post applies to you or not, just reach out. Long story short, if you've already talked to me about the session before this post was made - you are fine!

If you are still here and reading, stay tuned. When my daughter's preschool schedule is announced, I will be announcing a schedule change - which means new possibilities for scheduling, even in 2026 ;)

Thank you guys - making this post so early in the year is kind of unreal 💕

There are some things you should know before you book me as your photographer:

1. I am a "simple" photographer. If you expect your photographer to show up with tons of equipment and lights, that is not me. I have my few pieces of trusty equipment that I know like the back of my hand that I use every single day. That's all I feel that I need, and all I've needed all this time.

2. Replies to messages always take days. I know that this isn't always the most convenient method, but it's what has worked best. I don't overlap booking dates this way and I have found that 99% of messages don't get lost through the cracks when I reply to everyone at the same time. I will never ignore any of you on purpose.

3. I'll probably have on my comfy clothes with my hair up for your session. I will be much more concerned with your appearance as to mine.

4. My turnaround times for any kind of session (mini, regular, or full) is always around three weeks - closer to three when I am on top of things and closer to four weeks when busy season starts. When my daughter starts school, my hope is that this will become a 2-3 week turnaround. I would cry tears of joy if I could make that happen for you guys!

5. I know that I look young, but I have been doing this for FOURTEEN years. I truly don't know what I would do if it wasn't this.

6. I am badddddd at posting sneak peeks. (more like posting in general) My biggest concerns when I actually have time to sit and work on my computer are on editing and replying to messages.

7. I am a mom first, foremost, and always. One of my biggest goals in life is to show her that you CAN do what you love, no matter how hard running your own business is. My work schedule as a photographer truly revolves around her.

8. If you continue to invite me back into your life to document your biggest, best, and most precious moments - I will ALWAYS be in your corner. I'll always root for you, think of you during hard times, and get excited for all of your new adventures. All of my clients are like family to me in a way. You support me, I support you. It's that simple.

That's it. That's all ❤️
