🌸 ALMOND BLOSSOM SESSIONS 🌸
Please read all info below before booking

The time is here! I’m so excited! 😍

These sessions are EXTREMELY time sensitive so your open availability is crucial. We can’t assume when they bloom and we might have to move the dates when time gets closer. I always choose my dates from the past years. So crossing fingers these dates are safe.

**🚨MINI SESSIONS ARE ALWAYS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. AND ALWAYS SINGLE FAMILIES ONLY (no extended family members)**
Which means, once you claim/comment below, I will send you a link for you to fill out with your info. I will then send over your contract and invoice. INVOICE AND CONTRACT MUST BE PAID/SIGNED ASAP TO CLAIM THE TIME SLOT. I will move to the next person after 1 hour of no response. Thank you for your understanding🚨**

*No credits or gift certificates may be used on specialty mini sessions*

Christmas Mini Sessions did not book up in time 🫶🏼

I definitely expected it to be a little slower this year since I took a year off, and that’s totally ok! I am getting back in the swing of things and I know my social media algorithm isn’t the greatest right now.

What does this all mean?
It means these specific “mini sessions” aren’t going to happen because I don’t have enough families to fill up in one day BUT, what I can do is offer a “mini session” on separate days. We can still book the beautiful location that is decorated for Christmas in Lodi, we just have to check with them that the day is ok to do so.

Please comment or message me if you’re interested in booking a holiday session 🎄🎄🎄
