We are currently looking for people to host portrait parties.

Portrait parties are a unique opportunity for you to have a professional photographer come to your home or favorite location and create images of your children, family, friends and even pets! You and each guest family will receive a 20 minute photography session. In that time period we will capture as many creative images as possible. It is our goal for you and your guests to be comfortable, have fun and end up with great photos from a very memorable experience. And best of all, there is no sitting fee for any of the sessions.

More details are below; you can call us anytime to discuss this further. If you or someone you know are interested, please contact us for availability.

How do Portrait Parties work?

The host will provide a suitable space for creating professional photos. We will set up our lights and backdrop, and create an on location portrait studio in the comfort of your home. Each guest and their families will all have a 20 minute photo session that can include multiple combinations from each family.

What happens next or How to order prints?

Images will be available for viewing on-line within 7 days of the party. An email will be sent to all guests with an access link and password to their portraits. It is up to each Guest to make all orders and payments to the photographer. Guests can order via the online gallery. Portraits must be ordered and paid in full to the photographer within 14 days from the date the portraits are posted on line. Orders generally take 3-4 weeks to be completed.

Finally-What’s in it for the host of the party?

* Be treated to a 30 minute personal pre-party portrait session
* When at least 6 sessions are scheduled and held you will receive a hostess package consisting of 1-8×10, 2-5×7′s & 8-wallets.
* You will also receive 25% commission on the total sales from your party to be used toward portraits taken the day of the portrait party.
* In addition, for every party that is booked and held from yours, you will receive an additional $25 in Hostess Credit.

Allison had warned me that Rex was a very active, energetic dog before we had the session and she was not kidding. At all.

Rex is such a big sweetheart! At times I thought for sure that me and the lens were going to get big ole kisses from Rex-especially when I was right up in his face.

During the session he hardly ever just stayed still-it was like photographing a toddler. They both have so much energy and hardly ever stay in one spot for any length of time. It’s a good thing I am fast on my feet!

The bottom photo captures it all : ) Within moments he had run around the mailbox and was on the other side of the snowbank. If he had a longer leash he would have been halfway down the street.
