I looked at my calendar and thought… WELP. 😂
The time has come to start talking about BLACK FRIDAY!!!!
If you've been around for the last few years, you know that my Black Friday sale is something I look forward to every single year. And this year, we're keeping things pretty much the same, with ONE little exception!
As most of you know, I've been talking about heading to Europe on a school trip with my daughter. Well, wouldn't you know it, the dates fall RIGHT in the middle of my yearly Black Friday sale. 😂
And quite frankly, the thought of changing something I've done the same way for years stresses me out more than it probably should.
So instead of starting on Sunday like I normally do, I'm kicking things off on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST! That gives me a little extra time to get everything situated, schedule lots and lots of posts, and hopefully head across the ocean without worrying about a thing!

🚗 TRAVEL & LOCATIONS
I LOVE traveling for sessions, but I do want to remind everyone that my schedule gets incredibly tight during peak season, especially September and October.
Most of my sessions take place in the Alexandria/Huntingdon area, particularly during evenings and weekends.
I occasionally offer State College dates, typically weekday mornings at the Arboretum.
If you have your heart set on a specific location outside of my normal area, your best bet is to plan for a weekday morning!
🗓️ LET'S TALK SCHEDULING!
This is probably the most important part of this entire post!
If you're available on weekday mornings, scheduling is generally a breeze!
Evenings and weekends are a different story. I open those dates in blocks throughout the year, and they tend to fill quickly.
Here's when those dates become available:
* December → January sessions
* January → February & March sessions
* March → April & May sessions
* May → June & July sessions
* July → August sessions
* August → September sessions
* September → October sessions
* October → November weekday mornings ONLY
* November → December sessions
Please remember that I do NOT offer regular evening or weekend sessions in November. Those dates are reserved exclusively for Christmas Minis!
❤️ ONE LAST THING!
I know I say this every single year, but September and October are absolutely my busiest months.
Between shorter days, limited daylight, sports schedules, and everyone wanting those beautiful fall colors, my calendar fills up FAST.
February through August is generally MUCH easier to schedule, especially if you need an evening or weekend.
So please, please, PLEASE plan ahead if you have a particular season or date in mind!
Purchasing during the sale does not guarantee availability for a specific date, particularly during my busiest fall months.
I am so incredibly thankful that so many of you continue to take advantage of this sale year after year. Whether you've been with me for all 12 years or you're thinking about booking your very first session, I appreciate you more than you know.
Now, who's ready for BLACK FRIDAY?! 🖤📸
