April Reminders and Mother's Day Minis


Hello Reader,

I hope you are having a wonderful April. It's my birthday month so I am pretty excited about it! Lots of things to talk about today, so let me get right into it.

I want to let you know that the galleries for the No Kings Protest, and the Renaissance Fair are still active, but will expire on April 19th. If you haven't grabbed your photos yet, you still can.

I also want to remind you of my discount for pet sessions this month. For all mini sessions and deluxe sessions, take 20% off the total cost of a session as long as you bring a pet along with you. Having lost our sweet girl in February, I am hoping this will give you a chance at some portrait with your pets, as well as soothe my little heart.

Discount code for Minis: Daisy

For deluxe sessions, simply put in the session request that you'll bring a pet along. Links for both can be found at the bottom of this email.
There is one more mini session day this month, and it is this Sunday, the 19th at the Riparian Preserve.

Next month is, of course, Mother's Day, and I think a photo session for her and her kids would be a lovely way to celebrate. (plus cake, and maybe some crafts the kids made, and maybe going out to dinner, or a manicure?)

If you do a photo session of the kids this weekend, you should even have time to get prints made to present to her on Mother's Day, if you think that would be more her style.

May Minis:
May 9th 2026, Riparian Preserve
May 17th 2026, Papago Park


That is all for today. I'm here if you have any questions.

You can email me at sissy@sissyilona.com
You can text me at 760-617-0999 (you can call as well, but I get so many scam calls these days, that I tend to be real wary of new numbers, so if I don't pick up, it's not you, it's me)

Wishing you all the best,

Sissy
