Back to School Updates from Sissy Ilona Photography

Happy July! As we are enjoying July celebrations, we also need to put some planning on the schedule. The new school year is coming soon and it's time to help the kids get ready. New school supplies, new schedules, new sports gear... The weather may not change much around here, but the calendar sure does.For me that means two things: I need a plan for my business and I need a plan for my home school.July is the month when my daughter and I typically finish the school year, and take a couple of...

Grieving for pets + Portraits

For March and April mini sessions and deluxe sessions, take 20% off the total cost of a session...
