Dates that I have open for a client meeting, photo shoot, Passion Party, or Thirty-one Party
Tips on choosing a date for a party
Sooner is Better
Folks don't usually know what they're doing three or four weeks from now. They do know, however, what they're doing in about a week or two. If you schedule too far out, your invitation may get lost in the shuffle.
Week-nights are better than weekend-nights
Folks usually have their Friday and Saturday nights planned out several weeks, sometimes months, in advance. This is especially true if they have kids. But they usually don't have things planned for weeknights, unless it's something like choir practice on Wednesday nights or some other weekly commitment.
Tips on choosing a time for a photo session
