Capturing Moments on Short Notice: Last minute Ottawa photography sessions are available to clients who sign up to our new wait list.
Starting this Summer we will offer a last minute session booking option for busy families and expectant parents. Booking is done by signing up to our new last minute session Wait List. Not only is the list great for those who can’t commit to a session date (and back up date!) until the last minute. You can also save money by booking a last minute session!
Why are last minute sessions discounted this Summer?
Before 2020, only 5% of our sessions were postponed at the last minute due to illness.
Since that time we have seen sky rocketing amounts of last minute session postponements. In April and November of 2022 they were as high as 60% for all of our sessions. In 2023, the postponement rate continues to remain much higher than it was pre-2020.
How will the last minute session wait list work?
When we have a last minute session space that becomes available, we will contact clients who were waiting to reschedule their session first. If they can’t take the available spot, we will be offering it through our last minute session wait list. When sessions are offered last minute, there will be a discount.
Booking through the wait list means you have to be prepared for less than 12-24 hours of notice before the session takes place.
Bookings made through the last minute session wait list will allow us to recoup some of the costs we incur with last minute postponements without raising all of our session fees substantially.
Other than a discount, what does a last minute session booking offer?
- Options for families with unpredictable schedules. Not all families can commit to a session date and back up date. A last minute cancellation list will allow us to accommodate the needs of families whose schedules are less predictable.
- Missed opportunities. Some locations and time slots sell out quickly. Families who were unable to book a session at the location or time they preferred, have the chance to secure a session at the last minute if there is an opening.
- Flexibility and Convenience. Since Summer plans change, families may find themselves unexpectedly free on an evening when a last minute booking becomes available. The new list allows us more flexibility in scheduling Summer sessions.
