Its a little late because they want you to submit 3 weeks in advance. Anyway guess we will see, it only gave one spot for the address, so if someone from the other location wants to go to the website and also submit that would probably be good. I am going to call the PR person on Monday and see what he says.; ▶ Reply to This

It sucks but that's what they can do for us. So it looks like the window light will be a big part...not to mention my daughter Amanda said if its not raining we could use outside. Since as of today we have 9 families signed up, 2 of which are single, I think we are fine with that.
Keep working to find families to serve, we can totally make room in there if we have a huge turn out.; ▶ Reply to This

I think we will need to decide where the hair/make up people will be and set that up along with a table for the food/drinks. Then start setting up the photogs places as the hair and make up will be able to start and get things going while we are still setting up.; ▶ Reply to This
