Book the First Appointment of the Day (Tip of the Week)
I recently took my kids to the portrait studio to have their pictures taken. I called in advance for an appointment and selected the third morning appointment slot (10 a.m.), so that we wouldn’t be rushed getting ready.
What was I thinking? I’ve been a mom for almost seven years now and I should know to always book the first appointment of the day. When you are first, odds are they won’t be running late yet!
We arrived for our appointment (all dressed up and pretty) promptly at 9:50 a.m. and they were ready for us not-so-promptly at 11:10 a.m! The two appointments prior to ours ran long and we really paid a high price for not rushing to get ready!
From now on, it’s the first appointment for me! If for some reason you have not learned this lesson yet, I’m writing this Tip of the Week just for you!!
The good news, my children took some amazing pictures and the studio gave me several free portrait sheets to make-up for my extra-long wait.
