Big Family...50th Wedding Anniversary!

What an amazing story! This couple was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! FIFTY YEARS! WOW! Rather than have a party where they could only spend 5 minutes with each guest in a whirlwind, they decided to pack the car and travel cross country to VISIT each of the special people in their lives! AMAZING! While they were in town visiting their children & grandchildren I was able to photograph them all! Thanks again!! :)

Old family friends...

I am so excited that you all contacted me to photograph your family when you were all in town together! It was SOOOOOOOOO wonderful to see all of you again! The kids were so fun and easy to work with and I hope to do it again someday!! :)

Zoe is ONE!!

Oh my! From the time she was in her mom's belly until she turned one I have been lucky to capture her sweetness! One of my favorite photos to date was with this session. LOVE the chair in the grass shot! :) Happy birthday Zoe!!!!

Beautiful....

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful young lady! She is building a modeling portfolio and I am so happy I was able to start it off with these lovely photos! Who knew downtown Vienna had so many pretty spots to photograph in!

Aiden & Claire!

One of my first clients ever! First maternity, then family/kids for the past 3 years. Oh how they have grown! Mt. Vernon is such a beautiful location!! Adorable kids helps too! Thanks for continuing to let me document your lives Michelle!! :)

My First Twins are ONE!!!!

These cuties were my first twin newborns last year...now here they are all grown up! Happy 1st birthday Madison & Jake! Thanks Jen & Chad for letting me continue to capture your memories!

Little Lady Ryli!!

How often is it that you see a baby with a full hairdo! She was sooooooooooo smiley and sweet and had the cutest hair I've ever seen on a baby! :) Congrats Lexa & Robbie! Can't wait to watch her grow!! :)

***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!! :)
