Who really likes to think abut Christmas before Thanksgiving is over; ok there's a few of you out there but for many people it quickly turns into Christmas overload. So why in the world I am bringing up the topic in October? Well, it's about money, hard to believe I know. Wait before you judge me to harshly though, it's not about me getting money it's about me saving you money. You see November, December, and January can be really work heavy months. Between Christmas card pictures, Christmas events with Santa, the number of newly engaged couples (Christmas Day is actually #1 for wedding proposals and Christmas Eve #3) seeking out photographic services, and bridal shows we stay pretty busy with last minute request. However, you know that whole cost vs. demand things... yeah, I admit it, I'm far less likely to play lets make a deal when I've got work coming out the wazoo. For me, I like to have my schedule set up and decline last minute request, it just makes my life easier. So around this time of year I open up to early bookings at a discount.
