Hip Holiday Cards

I currently partner with a few different card companies to offer my clients top-notch designs for both holiday and birth announcements.

The latest holiday designs from minted look great this year...

announcing our move to London...

 

Many of you have heard me discuss our family's plans to re-locate to London this summer for the next 2-3 years.  My husband Michael has been offered a position to join GE Money and work out of the new London headquarters.   It's been quite an experience in patience for everything to become "official", but as of just last week we are now 100% committed.  Michael and I spent last week in London visiting houses and flats, touring the American School (our children have been accepted for the 09-10 school year) and sampling some wonderful restaurants sans kids!  And, while I am honestly thrilled with the idea of living abroad and having Europe at our doorstep, I am also terribly sad to leave a wonderfully fulfilling photography career and all the amazing families I have met and photographed both in Connecticut and in Chicago. 

So, for those wishing to fit in one final photography session before our departure, I am taking bookings only through the end of May for sessions and I am just about completely booked.  If you are interested in booking a date, please send me a note via e-mail  and I will see what I can do to squeeze you in.  Prints will be delivered before our move at the end of July.

**important**  if you have a session that is still in the ordering or re-ordering phase, I must received your final print orders no later than May 31 to guarantee delivery of your prints.  May bookings will have until June 30 for final orders.

Please contact me if you are looking for a recommended photographer for either Chicago or Connecticut families to work with in the coming years.  Of course, I hope to return for a limited # of bookings in the summer of 2010, but will have to wait to release travel plans until next year.

And I have been asked by many if I plan to continue my photography work while living in London.  Yes, I do have plans to continue Wink Photography with a specific focus on maternity, newborn and baby lifestyle photography.  Be sure to check both the Wink website and blog for updates on future London sessions!!

all my best~
