What does “Books Open” and “Books Closed” mean?

Booking appointments too far ahead of time can get pretty stressful and can make it more difficult to complete large projects. So, sometimes our artists “close their books” for new clients/projects. This keeps clients from having to wait too long for a 2nd or 3rd session on a big piece and takes a little stress off of the artist. Once they’re ready to start booking new appointments they’ll make a post on their Instagram accounts that says “Books Open.”
