Congratulations Mary!
That is exciting news, you must be so thrilled!!
I usually work on 2 portraits simultaneously. It keeps me fresh alternating between them. My time frame is 3-6 months. I agree w/Chris about the deposits for waiting lists. I ask for 25%. It's nice to have that piece of mind knowing it will happen. I learned the hard way on that one when I reserved a space for a client (for a year), and when the time was due, they cancelled due to other priorities.
Tell us about the Designer Show. Always looking for ways to market!...
Have fun!
