Ready for Another Crazy Portrait Season
Fall is here, and that means lots and lots of Folio sessions and a crazy season ahead. We are so excited about all of our new Fall clients & finishing up One Year Plans for all of Alice's favorite babies!
Please keep in mind that October is quite possibly the busiest month of our year, but Alice will work her hardest to process her images and book designs in a timely manner. If you are interested in ordering additional folio books for grandparents and relatives by Christmas, please do so by November 10th. All print orders will need to be in by December 1st.
It's nice to return from your relaxing honeymoon to all of the excitement of Fall. We are so thrilled about it!
We'll leave you with Jack. Alice photographed Jack at age 2 (first image) and has watched him grow into the mature, little boy he is today (just turned 3!).

Alice is Back!
After a month of what seemed like a true vacation, I am back and ready to get back into the swing of things. I feel somewhat sad to have left the outdoor markets, delicious food stands and my incredible family there, but life is so fabulous here, and it's truly great to be back!
Thank you to all of my clients who emailed me and wished me safe travels during my trip! And thank you to all of the new clients who emailed me to book sessions and inquire about my trip.
Here are a few of my favorite images from Asia. And yes - the last image is of me and my cousin jumping around the Taiwan country side. Fun, fun!

To All of My Clients...
....And all of those who have EVER emailed me:
My sincerest apologies for the 20,000 emails I sent you this week! My out-of-office reply went a little crazy on me, so as a result, everyone who has ever emailed me received an automatic reply.
One of my favorite clients remarked: "I was amused. Maybe you could think about it as advertizing run amok."
Thank you for understanding!
I am in Hong Kong now celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with relatives and friends. The air is humid but the people are so very friendly. I will post more of my travels soon.
Meanwhile, here is a very long-overdue post of some of my favorite little ones during the past couple of weeks. Meet Jeffrey - 3 months, Hill at 4 months, the Doll siblings (I think that twirling image will go on my wall), Jack at 8 months, Carter - 18 months, Ian and his adorable feet at 18 months, Emmett at 6 months, Sisters Chabelli & Lola, Ryan at 6 months and the beautiful Caroline at 4 months.
Whew! I have so many more to share and will do so very soon!
