Don’t Skip this Post or I'll Cry about it, AKA July's Newsletter by Jennifer Lind Schutsky
I’m out of office at the end of this month, but still wanted to say hi to my favorite people (that’s you!) and catch up. In a world of instant gratification, an email feels like snail mail. AND if you want to be proper pen pals just send me an email with your mailing address and we can make snail mail a come back (no AI surveillance there).

I’m taking Redwoods Family Photos at the end of the month - if you know anyone in the NorCal area, we’re meeting a friend for their 40th birthday and enjoying one of our favorite palaces in the United States. End of July - email me for exact dates and offerings.
I love that my job description is ‘Documenting the chaos.’
I recently had my Nostalgic Summer Sessions and I will be booking a last minute back to school mini session if anyone wants to get one last opportunity to freeze the moments that are going by way too fast.
The Art of Ink & Skin // Henna
Finished the husband’s actual tattoo and feeling confident in offering intuitive large format single line tattoos to others. This is a living art ritual that would require 1-2 hours of tattoo time and require complete trust in me to channel what comes through. Otherwise, let’s just stick with henna.
Art Land // Hawks and Honey
Junk Journaling has been my personal favorite medium these days, just collecting trash and making art with it. Nothing is more descriptive of my process than that.
Recipe Love
My favorite recipe this month is ____ which came from ____
Books I’m reading…
I just finished Burn Down Master’s House by Clay Cane and OMG it’s a good one.
Now Booking Fall Mini Sessions
Because holiday card season sneaks up on all of us.
You can book now and go on a payment plan. Most people book their 30 minute sessions for November which means you can start now and do $60 a month until your session ($300 total) or do my mini session on October 18 and pay $100 now and the rest in October. Either way I’m trying to keep it affordable and budget friendly. Everything is expensive and you deserve to have photos of your family as you build generational wealth.
While I do mostly Family photos during the Fall, it’s also never too early to book Seniors / Grad Sessions. And of course Branding refreshes are a year round offering, just keep in mind I have limited availability during the weekends because Weddings!
Let’s chat dates and rates. Reply to this email.
