now.. EN FRANCAIS! It's great I'm doing this French addition- it's really helping me polish up my French! She helps me edit the passages, which is awesome of her considering I'm not totally fluent and I just study French at school. It is definitely coming back fast, I will say that. Anyhow, here we go: attempt numero deux! Written by Sarah, edited and overlooked by the lovely Desiree :)

Newsletter is out

Hello, a few quick notes
NEWSLETTER
The October newsletter is out. if you would like to subscribe to it please drop me a line here
NOVEMBER
November has gotten pretty full already. it is true that going away for a Mexico wedding makes the month that much shorter but still. There is a snow fairy week end November 17 to 19 and a bunch of new products to get for clients.
We did not get as many Dancers as expected so we shortened the week end. That is next week end.
FAMILY PHOTOS AND GREETING CARDS
We have put a week end aside specifically for family photos. We can do them on location here in beautiful Caledon. We already have a couple of location picked out. If you were thinking of greeting cards, please book your session soon to avoid dessapointment.
If you have already had  a family photo session this year with us, we will gladly order greeting cards for you. Just give us a call 905-584-1999


Wedding News
The new Wedding web site has been launched. We will add more work shortly. here is the link for a visit www.weddingstoriesbydesiree.com

funny thing about Christmas preps

It's true that most people are not ready to hear Christmas music in stores in November or buy Christmas wrapping in October... But when December rolls around, all you hear are comments like "Done your Christmas shopping yet? "  When was that supposed to happen???

More important then the shopping, for me, is the family Christmas card. For years, we would make a big do of taking our family photo. I would usually have to nag and threaten everyone that they had to be here, dressed well and be happy about it. this is the normal order of things.

I would set up the camera on the tripod, have the studio lights on the stands. Look in the viewfinder gather everyone, set up the photo I would say " Leave room for me right here" then, look in the viewfinder again, set the self timer, cock the shutter and....run in and count down.  My hair would usually look out of place and I would have a frozen look on my face but, I had captured the family and that is what was important.

We sent out all kinds of cards ove the years.  Christmas cards with a long text written by hand in each one.   or stick a photo of the family with a photocopied newsletter accompanying it.  or a family photo and a personal note. The point was to keep in touch with friends we don't see that often anymore and certainly with family that we weren't going to visit that year. 

I was looking for a formula that would be informative and at the same time fun and light to read. I also like a challenge. I like to come up with a new pose or decor or something different every year.   We've done some pretty good ones over the years. Sometimes all dressed up somtimes casual.

But three years ago, we found our groove.  and now, for our fourth year we are now sending out our signature "Magazine Style" Christmas card and everyone loves it. there is just enough family events and just enough photos to keep everyone in the know. People call to ask if it;s in the mail yet. Lol...

I will post those here after I have this new one sent off. I certainly don't want to reveal this year's card here and spoil the surprise.  It will be going out in the next few days. Thanks to the whole family's efforts. Ithink it looks great !

As far as the shopping goes, I prefer to collect things throughout the year. That way, by December most of what I thought of is already here. 

Baking and cooking are in the planning, we've decorated yesterday and Christmas is on it's merry way...

Have a good pre-Christmas season everyone.
