Fall Minis....{THE HOLIDAY POST!}

I know, I know, it's SO early for this!!!  BUT, this post will become popular over the next few months and I want to be on top of it ~  I literally have one more day before all the kids are home for the summer and I'm excited and SCARED at the same time!  Just wanted to post a few things about fall minis and get some dates out there for all you planners!  I will not have as many October sessions this year due to some family trips, etc. so I will be doing a few more September and November sessions to compensate.  I will add to this list as the weeks go by and I have more information finalized.  Again, as always, if you're on a plan, it is wise to talk to me over the summer about your next few sessions.  I will no longer be taking anymore yearly/newborn/maternity plan clients in the Jackson area.  I will strictly be going to regular sessions and mini sessions for that area. If you book for September and we have a rain out I will move you to a rain out date or to another empty mini slot later in the season.  I always start with booking on Sundays during the holidays so keep that in mind when looking at the times available.  And, please text me or email me with any questions!  601-260-5069 or mauri@maurihartphotography.com



These September sessions have a little discount for you guys as a reward.......the earlier your session is in the holiday season, the less you pay!

As far as theming goes for my holiday minis, we won't use much aside from perhaps some cute chalkboards with the year or things like "FAMILY" or "JOY" buntings or for the Hernando sessions some cute chairs/benches.  Canton has plenty of seating options so I generally don't bring a lot there.

The next few weeks and months {scheduling INFO}

As I try my hardest to get everyone's Easter pics up, I'm also busy trying to get a schedule set for early summer.  This is most important for all my central MS peeps.  I know it helps to know WHEN I'll be in town when you are trying to decide on times for photo shoots......

Right now ~

April 13th ~ I will be in Madison and will be available for a very limited number of regular sessions.  Please get with me ASAP if you would like to schedule.  Much of the day has already been claimed.

May 4th/May 5th ~ I will be shooting regular session on the afternoon of the 4th and the morning of the 5th.  I could possibly do a few on the afternoon of the 3rd if needed.

May 25th ~ I will be shooting that morning regular sessions in the Lake Caroline area.

May 28th ~ I will be shooting that morning regular sessions in the Lake Caroline area.

May 31st/June 1st ~ I will be having a Lemonade Stand Mini day.  Session times will be announced soon so stay tuned!!

More dates to be added soon!  Please touch base with me if you need on the calendar.  It will be much more challenging to schedule at the last minute.

Below is the current beach schedule.  Highlighted times ARE STILL AVAILABLE!  Get with me ASAP on a beach time.  Summer is right around the corner!

The Weather and Southaven Bunny Pics...

Oh my, the weather in Southaven is such a bummer these days.  Can we have just a little sunshine on one of my mini weekends.  I'm making a mental note for next year to schedule Easter/Spring pics in April as opposed to March!

That being said, I still plan on shooting on Sunday at my house.  The address is:

3380 Woodland Trace E
Southaven, MS  38672

The schedule looks like this:

8:20 L. Berryhill
8:40 P. Tatko
9:00 A. White
3:20 K. Latham
3:40 L. Petree
4:00 A. Meadows
4:20 R. Zemen
4:40 S. Bibb
5:00 B. Allen

It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow and be cold and very windy on Sunday.  Sigh.  That definitely presents challenges but I think I've found a corner we can use in the yard that will be cute and we can get to it without the use of a boat.

Now, if you feel that all these things sound awful and you do not want to dress your babies up in their Easter frocks and romp around in the muddy wetness, I UNDERSTAND.  And, there are options.  I can move your shoot to a weekday this week and you can still have bunnies in your pictures (the bunnies are returning to their Jackson home on Good Friday).  I will have some morning and after school times available.  Just text me if this sounds appealing to you.  If bunnies are not something that you HAVE TO HAVE I can move your shoot to the weekend after Easter or even the weekend after that.   Maybe spring will have arrived at that point. 

Thanks to you all for your understanding.  And, please know that my goal is to get the BEST pics possible for you and your family.
