Portrait Parties!!

Okay, so I caught wind of a GREAT new idea in family photography...Portrait Parties! A good friend of mine, Reb, is doing them out in Wisconsin and they have been a HUGE success! So, I thought I'd give it try to see if there is any interest in good ol Virginia! :) Here is how it works:

Just like a Southern Living/Candle party, the host/hostess invites guests to participate in mini-photo sessions at his/her home or other location...and in return receives a print credit of 20% of total sales from the party. I will be happy to help you work out the details of your party, and will supply you with custom invitations.

Guests receive a free mini-session, and in return will be required to purchase at least $75.00 in prints, which is due at the time of the mini session and held as a print credit towards their order.Each mini-session will be about 20 minutes in length and is for up to four people. If a guest requires more than 30 minutes, or wishes to include more than four people in their session there will be a $50.00 fee.

I will bring a few backdrops to the party so the host need not worry about having the 'perfect' spot in their home. All I need is an average sized room with some good window light. Often I push the dining table out of the way and take advantage of patio/sliding glass doors. Or if the weather is nice, a shaded area in the yard for photos. In order to host a portrait party you must have at least 6 guests book mini sessions.
