This is my latest First Year Baby, but in lieu of doing some 3month photos, we decided to do a family photo...with a few of baby Zoe! This is by far my favorite family session ever! They are so fun and laid back and allowed me to photograph them just playing and being fun!! SO MUCH BETTER than posed forced photos, don't you think?! :) Thank you for being such a cool crew!! :)

***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.

If you would like to host a party, please contact me at: cordeauphoto@gmail.com ! We can work out the details and explain how it works in more detail when I hear from you!! :)
