A Little Note from Your Photographer 📸
Dear clients,
September to December is known to be photographer “silly season” — and if you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes during these months… well, let’s just say there’s a lot of camera batteries, editing, admin, prop building, shoots, and a whole lot of running around!
These are by far the busiest months of the year for photographers and my calendar fills up incredibly quickly. I will always do my absolute best to accommodate you and give every client the time, attention and beautiful photographs you deserve. But please remember that booking in advance is key. Once my calendar is full, I unfortunately can’t create more hours in the day (trust me, I’ve tried! 😂). 2026 is almost completely fully booked.
During this busy season, I kindly ask for a little extra patience and understanding when it comes to inquiry replies and editing. I promise I am working as quickly as I possibly can! Behind every gallery is hours of culling, editing, exporting, backing up and making sure your photographs are just right.
Your messages, bookings and support mean the absolute world to me, and I never want you to feel forgotten. If I’m a little slower to reply than usual, please know that I am most likely somewhere between a camera, a computer and my 17th cup of coffee.
So, as we head into the busiest — and craziest — time of the photography year:
Please book early.
Please be patient.
Please trust the process.
And most importantly…
HUG A PHOTOGRAPHER WHEN YOU SEE ONE
Thank you for keeping me so busy, for trusting me with your memories, and for supporting my little business. I’m so excited for everything the next few months have in store!
With all my love,
Zané van Staden Photography
