party! party! party!

what is a portrait party?

-mini-portrait sessions, with your friends!

-together we will come up with a plan for your party- date, time, location, theme, etc.  Invite 5 to 10 of your friends to attend your party.

-each guest pays a reduced-rate portrait fee – children or families of up to 3 people are $80 ($15 per additional person) and receives:

  • one 20 minute photo session
  • the editing and artistic enhancement of your best images
  • a password protected online gallery to review your image
  • a disc of your 5 favorite images, full-resolution, with complete rights to print as you wish
  • 2 8×10 and 4 5×7 fine art prints
  • HOST RECEIVES ALL OF THIS FOR FREE!!!

tips for the host:

  • MAKE IT FUN!!
  • this is a great time to go for that themed session you’ve always wanted to try: superheroes, tea party, holiday themed, pirates… whatever the season of the year or season of life you are in, lets plan to remember it in photos!
  • snacks!  your friends don’t have to stay the whole time- they only need to be there for their 20 minute time slot, but lets make their time enjoyable.  provide a couple non-messy snacks and refreshments for your friends… or even some special treats for those little ones who give promise to give their brightest smiles ;)
  • make it a location to remember… go to your local farm, find a field of flowers, or just a cool urban location,  got some baseball buddies? lets find a cornfield for some “field of dreams” inspired photos!
  • props!  you can go with a theme, or just get some great colorful balloons, blow some bubbles, throw out a bunch of hula hoops, whatever will add some joy to your child’s face in their images.

sweet zoe

It’s been such a crazy busy summer, but I just had to find time to posts a few pics from one of my favorite sessions- sweet Zoe.  It’s been such an honor to see her grow into this little spunky toddler… and I just can’t believe she’s going to be a big sis in just a few months!  so exciting :)

Mr. Personality

This baby boy had me entertained our entire session!  From his big laughs to his tough guy look, and sweet little grins to peaceful snuggliness- I love every minute spent with Nicholas! Such a little charmer  :)
