important UPDATE as of 4/1/22… Please read below
3/29/22 my youngest daughter suffered a traumatic femur fracture requiring surgery, a hospital stay, and we are looking at more than a month long recovery. As such, I have had to make some changes to PURE LOVE ’22 in order to make being Nurse Mama my priority.
Here are the changes:
- Only ONE day of sessions will occur, Saturday, April 23, 2022
- Only a handful of sessions will be available (about a half dozen) starting in the 10am hour
- All sessions will be Complete Digital Image purchase sessions. This means that instead of a $99 buy in and then separate $549 purchase to own all the digital images, there will be a $325 retainer to secure your session and then $325 balance payment due at a later date. Again, each purchase will be receiving all the final digital images for their session, no $99 sessions with just the 1 digital image. Over 85% of my clients end up purchasing all the digital images anyway, so this just streamlines that process.
- I will do my best to ensure delivery of digital images prior to Mother’s Day. However, due to the intense amount of time and effort to care for Nova (she’s in a wheelchair and will be missing at least 4 weeks of school) and the quantity of follow up appointments and therapies, I cannot make that guarantee. It may take up to 4 weeks for me to remit your images.
- Sessions will go on sale 4/2/22 at 9am as normal. VIPs get first dibs. When they’re gone, we are done until 2023.
- Thank you for your understanding, grace, and patience as we navigate this challenge.
Pure Love: that of a mother for her children
MOTHER’S DAY is quickly approaching. Is it on your radar yet? Perhaps you are still looking for the perfect gift for the Mom in your life? Maybe it is your child’s mother, your own mother, the lady you consider your mother, your grandmother… or are YOU the mom in your life?
All of these types of mothers, and even more not on the list, deserve to feel special and be celebrated this Mother’s Day on May 8, 2022. Every year, the hunt for the ideal gift for mama is on.
It needs to be one that she will love. Something that will last.
A forever gift that maybe even makes her weep tears of joy.
I’ve got that gift for you, my friend.
Now, today is NOT booking day.
This post is just to give you all you need to know to secure one of these coveted spots for yourself or someone you love dearly. Sessions go on sale 4/2/22. VIPs first!
Last year, all of these sessions sold out in 20 minutes and a wait list accumulated which was never touched. In order to be as fair as possible, I’m pre-releasing almost everything you need to know to make a decision NOW because these sessions are very limited. Again, there will be a wait list after the sessions sell out, but there is no guarantee that the wait list will have sessions.
Ok, NOW, on to why you are here! The info!!!
These sessions are pure and sweet and all about the interaction between mama and her baby(ies of any age!). I will encourage a simple wardrobe of soft color (whites/grays/beiges, and denim… limited patterns) so that the expressions take center stage. There will not be any props.
Just a perfectly white room filled with one mama, her children, and the sound of giggles and laughter while we spend a few minutes together stopping time and creating a few images to last a lifetime. You/she/they will dance, and tickle, and snuggle. I will click away and make the kind of art that will make mama cry those happy, joyful, thankful tears.
Interested? These sessions are at an unprecedented low price of $99 with one included digital image and option to own all the digital images from your session (20+, a $1350 value!) at +$549. These sessions are VERY limited to just a few and then no more. They will sell out and sell out quickly. Sessions will begin as early as 9AM. At booking, you will choose your session time at checkout.
There is a $499 image buy out which is pre-sale pricing for booking weekend only. After booking weekend, the price will increase. Also, everyone who pre-purchases all their digital images jumps to the head of the editing queue and gets their images first!
Another surprise?! As a HUGE THANK YOU to celebrate the NINTH year of Pure Love, I will also be releasing a VIP List ONLY coupon code at booking which will be good for the first five uses only.
Now for the big question…
How will you book?
Just like last year, friends signed up to receive my newsletter will be given first dibs to access the sign up/pay page on my website which will go LIVE at 9AM on Saturday, April 2, 2022. Newsletter subscribers get 15 minutes to complete their sign up/pay for the session + buyout prior to the information going live on my Facebook page and that 5 use coupon code is good for VIPs only.
I will do my best to update Facebook with the number of openings left as the minutes click by… but I don’t anticipate it taking any more than an hour to be sold out (and that is a conservative estimate!).
Subscribe to the Newsletter here for first dibs!
