The studio has been quite busy the last couple of months.  We’ve seen many, many, MANY newborns and have been scoping out new products, new marketing ideas and other wonderful things and i have been working on updating this blog.   Big news is about to be revealed in the next few weeks so stay tuned and be sure to sign up for the email newsletter. If you signed up for my newsletter, you were one of the firsts to be informed of the CCP Limited Holiday Mini Sessions and a few of you have already snatched up some time-slots.

What is a mini-session?  A ‘mini’ is a quick 20 minute session – how easy is that?! You get to choose between two great packages that suit everyone’s need and tastes.   Perfect to help with all your gift giving dilemmas (an 8×10 for aunt judith, an 11×14 for grandma and grandpa…).  If you’re looking to get some holiday cards done, the ‘Joy Captured’ package includes holiday cards.  You can choose between this year’s cards or even last year’s cards — and i must admit, they are just beautiful:: Press printed 5×7 double sided cards in your choice of linen, watercolor, or pearl finish.  The minis are also great for those that don’t want a full session just yet but would still love to capture their baby at 6 months or 3 months or to capture your belly if you are expecting or just to have your family photos updated.

When:  Saturday October 17th 2009
Time:  time slots available from 8:30 am to 3:30pm
Where: Pickering – in-studio location : to be announced
Who:  includes up to 4 people
ie. – 2 adults, 2 children
- 1 adult, 3 children
- up to 3 children

There are a few spots remaining and i expect these to go quite quickly.  This is a One-Day only event and spots are limited so be sure to hurry and reserve your time-slot.  Once they are gone, they’re gone…

**To reserve your spot, full payment is required at the time of booking.  Due to the quick and easy nature of the mini.session, these time slots are not suitable for newborns.

Here are the details:

Meet gorgeous Miss A.  This is a looooong overdue post but i couldn’t help but NOT blog about this sweetie.  She was so alert at her session and gave me tons of expressions.  At 13 days old it’s amazing what character this little gal had.  I’m sending out her gallery tomorrow so this won’t be much of a sneak.peek but better late than never.  Congrats S and A, she’s a beautiful addition to your already gorgeous family.

On a side note, the studio has been UBER busy with lots happening.  Limited holiday mini-sessions were released this morning exclusively to newsletter subscribers.  So hint, hint all you blog stalkers — stop stalking and subscribe to the newsletter! You’ll be the first to know of events and specials and will be privy to ‘exclusive’ subscriber perks/specials.  Some spots have already been reserved for this one day event so if you’ve been thinking about it, you’ll definitely want to snatch one up before the time-slots open up to non-subscribers on Thursday September 17th.

Until then…

I can’t believe the summer has come and gone and in less than a week, the kids are all officially back to school.  I’ve been waking up the last couple of days and opening the front door to breathe in that ‘fall school air’.  Y’know the one that i am talking about.  The cool air that signifies the onset of routines, homework, making lunches, changing colors and holiday planning.

With the Fall, all the holiday planning begins.  This year i’m so excited to be offering these beautiful 5×7 press printed cards.  Each card has a front and a back.  Since the back has plenty of space, there’s room to add some personal text, be it handwritten or printed directly onto the card.  A set of 24 cards is $95 and $50 for each additional set.  These cards are available to current clients and past clients.  If you are a client who’s had a session previously with me, just email me at info@cherrycortez.com or call me at 647.400.6538 and we can get you started on your Christmas cards.  Don’t forget to place your orders before the deadline – Sunday November 8th 2009.
