Chloe

I was at Easter dinner and my step-mom stated that she wanted to get some updated pictures of my little sister.  I had my camera with me (as usual), so I took her outside and shoot of few of her :)

Introducing...Portrait Parties!



Portrait parties bring together friends and family for affordable professional portraits taken in a relaxed, natural environment.


These sessions give everyone a custom portrait experience with Sam Blake Photography without the larger investment of a full custom session.


Portrait Parties are great for people who:
* are on a budget but still want professional photos taken of their children or themselves.
* need updated photos of their kiddos.
* have always wanted to try a “themed” session.
* want a fun way to bond with girlfriends


What is a Portrait Party?
A portrait party is an event hosted in your home or a near by location (parks are great!) where Sam Blake Photography  will take professional portraits for you and your friends in 20 minute mini-sessions.


How do they work?
Portrait Parties are hosted by one person who provides the location, coordinates the guest list, schedules the sessions in 20 minute intervals and collects the fees. Hostess get a free photo session and 8×10 Fine Art Print for hosting a Sam Blake Photography Portrait Party. In addition, you receive a $10 print credit for every person who commits (10 guests = $100!)


Each guest pays a reduced-rate portrait fee which includes the following (note: Hosts get all this free!):
One 20 minute custom photo session
8-10 digitally enhanced photos to choose from
One 8×10 Fine Art Print
$50 print credit on a future photography session from Sam Blake Photography


Family, Maternity, Portraiture and Senior Sessions $90 per session
Newborn Session $125 per session


Sign me up!
First, make out a potential guest list. We require at least 6 people to participate in the parties with a maximum of 15. Discuss dates with your guests to see which dates will work best for all of you. Think of the best location (Spring & Summer sunshine make parks and backyards work lovely). Once your date is set you can put together an invitation how ever you would like- by postal, using evites or by creating an event on Facebook .


Things to think about…


It’s All About FUN
Encourage your guests to bring hats, fairy wings, princess crowns, wonder-woman & superman outfits, bubbles, hula-hoops and any other props that they would like to use to make their photos memorable of their child’s unique stage of life.


Play with Themes
As wide open as your imagination! Here are some suggestions:
Superheros
Father’s Day gifts & Mother’s Day gifts
Princesses & Pirates
Tea Party
Holidays (Christmas, Easter, 4th of July)


Tips for a Successful Host
Have snacks (it keeps the little ones busy who are waiting for their turn). You can provide snacks yourself or do it potluck style have have everyone bring a little something to share.


Schedule your guests’ sessions 20 min apart. Schedule them consecutively so there aren’t any gaps (i.e. 10, 10:20, 10:40, etc). Let  your guests know they aren’t required to stay the whole time.


Follow up with your guests with reminders
The only monies you are responsible for collecting is the initial fee ($90/guest).  Please let guests know they may pay in cash or check (note: checks MUST be made out to Sam Blake Photography). If guest want to order more prints, you can let them know they can order directly from me.  And remember: As a hostess, you receive one 20 minute session complimentary along with an 8×10 Fine Art Print. In addition, you receive a $10 print credit for every person who commits (10 guests = $100!)
