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.

sneak peek

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful family last week!  Caroline is so sweet and spunky and little Miles is full of life and love… thank you for the privilege of spending this time with your family.

I have other versions of this photo where Miles is looking at the camera… but this one of him looking up at his momma made my heart melt.  You can just see the adoration on that little face!
