Portrait Parties

Have you ever been to a portrait party? Have you ever even heard or a portrait party?

I must admit that I had no idea what a portrait party was when a friend of mine mentioned the concept to me, but the more I learned the more I liked the idea.  Basically a portrait party is much like any other home party that you’ve been to, but rather than buying Tupperware or jewelry or unmentionables, your guests schedule a time for a mini-portrait session.

About a week after the party, all of the pictures are posted in a password-protected gallery on our site and your guests can login and choose the portraits that they want in the comfort of their own home.  The prints are offered at a greatly reduced price compared to our regular portraits and there’s no session fee or minimum purchase.

The party can be held at your house, our studio, or a great location around Kansas City to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors.  The choice is yours.

Of course, with all home party plans there has to be something in it for the host, and our portrait parties are no different.  When you schedule at least 5 mini-sessions during your party, you earn 20% of your guests’ purchases as a credit to your own purchase.  If you have 10 or more mini-sessions, you earn 40% toward your own purchase.  It’s very easy for you to earn significant credit and earn some great free produts.

I’ve put together a great brochure that explains all of the details including the pricing.  With the holidays approaching, this is a great time to schedule a portrait party!

Oh, and one other thing…if you are involved with a charitable organization that is looking for a unique fundraising idea, I’ve created a modified version of the portrait party plan where the charitable organization earns a cash donation rather than print credit.  Let me know if you’d like more details.

Little Miss "D"

I was thrilled when I was asked to photograph little Miss “D” because I’d met her before and loved her red hair.  I don’t get to photograph red heads very often.  So we headed off to the Plaza for the morning and created some beautiful shots.

New to KC

The “P” family called me this fall and wanted me to come to their new house to do some family portraits.  They had just moved here from the East Coast and had some time to get settled before Dr. P started at his new job.  We had a great time, and I think the images we created that day were really stunning!

Free Photos this Saturday

I’ve been a very bad blogger this summer.  I’m just going to blame it on the heat and move on…

I did want to tell everyone about something very exciting happening this weekend.  On Saturday, I will be in Olathe for the Grand Opening of the brand new Shop Baby Kisses at the Great Mall of the Great Plains.

The doors will be opening at 10, and I’ll be there until 3 that afternoon taking free pictures of the kids that come in.  Each child will get a free 5x7, so it’s really a great deal.

So, put some cute clothes on the kids and come on out.  It should be a great time.

More Senior Photos!

This past weekend, I had the privilege of taking Krishna’s senior pictures.  He’s graduating from Shawnee Mission Northwest next week and is headed to UCLA this fall.  We had a great time running around town and got some terrific shots.  I can’t wait to show all of them on Wednesday evening!
