Yes, it's only October. Yes, the holidays are over two months away. But guess what? They'll be here before you know it, and soon you'll be caught up in the holiday rush.

Holidays are a wonderful time to spend with family and friends but they can also be super stressful. My once-yearly holiday Limited Edition Sessions are coming next month, and I'll be announcing the dates and location very soon (are you on my mailing list? No? Info on booking goes there first...sign up at the bottom of this blog post to join now so you don't miss them!). These sessions are unique, they're fun, and they only happen once a year. But you know what else? They can help make your holiday season easier. Want to know how? Read below to see...and don't forget to sign up for that mailing list!

Does your latest family photo look like the one below? Was it taken on your great aunt's couch two Presidents ago? Was it possibly taken before a few kids were even born? Not to worry, I can help. This year's holiday sessions are all about family! They are a great time to get a new family photo to replace that old one you've been displaying for quite awhile now.

You've got a lot of things to do in a day. Sometimes you can't even get them all done. Trust me, I know. Around the holidays, you can feel that time crunch even more. Shopping. Planning and attending parties. Getting gifts or snacks together for your kids' class parties. There aren't many spare minutes in the day, are there? Fortunately I realize this and I've made these holiday sessions short and sweet. You'll definitely have time to fit one in between all your other holiday activities!

Shopping for the holidays is stressful. You're making a list, you're checking it twice, and you're hoping that Amazon Prime carries everything you need because you really don't want to go out again into all that traffic and all those crowds, even if you do have to pick up some things at your favorite local stores. Well, guess what? A holiday session with AKP will help knock a whole bunch of gifts right off your list. What better gifts for the grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents and others than some high-quality gift prints of your family and children? I can't think of anything better.

Don't forget to keep an eye on your email in the coming weeks for all the details. I can't wait to help make your holiday season easier!

I'd love to join the mailing list so I can be in the know!
