Every year my family gets a brand new wall calendar. Sometimes we opt for quotes, or cartoons, or even scenic photos, but there’s always something special about a custom calendar full of family photos. They can be great to look back at all year yourself or to gift to other family members. (Grandparents love them!) Calendar photos can be heavily themed with elaborate set-ups, or they can be a variety of images from just one or two photo sessions. Personally, I lean more toward the latter, although heavily themed sessions have their place. You can get plenty of variety in a single session to create a beautifully diverse calendar.

Because calendars are always a hit with the grandparents, you are more than welcome to add additional calendars onto your order after your sessions. The sky’s the limit!

Peak travel times might be manageable during the rest of the year, but during the holiday season, you can expect MUCH heavier crowds, which are not ideal for moms with newborns onboard. Instead, look for off-peak days and travel times to avoid traffic. Simplify the holiday with your newborn You can’t do it all, and that’s the harsh truth. If you’re not a Pinterest mom, don’t choose now to start. You can’t […] Continue Reading
