I had such a great time meeting friends, new and old, at Dandelion – Unique Kids Threads in downtown Danville last weekend!  The rain held off long enough for lots of trick-or-treaters to come by and have their pictures taken.  Here a few of the fabulous costumes and adorable little people I got to meet.

Have a fabulous Thursday!

I love the summer!  The kids are out of school, the schedule relaxes, and the days are long and warm.  But as the kids get older, they get busier and busier.  This summer has been filled with lots of traveling, mostly to take kids to camps of all kinds.

I’m in Utah this week visiting family and friends, taking a son to baseball camp,  and enjoying the beautiful Wasatch Mountains.  Photos to come when I get home this weekend.

This week’s 20 on Tuesday was on vacation with me, but it’ll be back next week with another inspiring fellow photog.

We’re headed back “home” to California in a few weeks to visit friends and family.  I can’t wait!

While I’m there, I’m teaming up with my sister’s fabulous boutique, Flaunt in Danville, for some mini sessions!  If you’re in need (or want) of some fun pictures of the  kids  for holiday cards, gifts, or frames around your home, head on over to Flaunt and sign up for a 20 minute session or two.

When:  Friday August 13 from 9-12

What:  20 minute mini session

Cost:  Prices and packages from $50-$350

Stop by Flaunt to pick up more information and get on the calendar.

Can’t wait to see you!!!

*New*  Host a Portrait Party

What Is a Portrait Party?
Portrait Parties  are exciting opportunities for you and your friends to have professional portraits made in a fun and affordable way.  The party takes place at the hostess’s home, a park, or another suitable location for shooting portraits – Wendy will set up a shooting area inside or out. Each guest receives a 20 minute  mini session.  And here’s the best part – as a hostess, besides getting your own mini session, you receive 10% of the party order total as portrait credit!

What is required of me as a hostess?

You will be in charge of organizing the Portrait Party.  You will be the key ingredient to a successful party.  You will invite guests, coordinate food and drinks, schedule sessions (a minimum of 4 bookings is required) and confirm all bookings.  Successful hosts follow up with their guests with reminders to ensure that every session time is filled to get the most portrait credits possible.  After the party, the guests will visit their online gallery (with 10-15  images) to view their portraits and order prints.  After all guests have ordered, you will then be able to place an order based on credits from your guests’ purchases.

What type of portraits do you offer?

Portrait Party mini sessions are limited to 1-2 people per time slot (unless you choose to do a Family theme), and are best for ages 6 months (sitting) and older. One outfit change is allowed.  As the hostess, you will decide on one theme for your party.  Themes for Portrait Parties are only limited to your imagination.  Here are some ideas:  Children, holidays (Halloween, fall, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Valentine’s Day), Seniors, glamour (Cover Girlz), pets, maternity, football, teens, families.

How Far in Advance Should I Schedule My Portrait Party?

Portrait Parties usually have a better turn out when scheduled approximately six weeks in advance. This will ensure your guests will be able to attend and give you ample time to meet with Wendy and to prepare for your Party.

How do I schedule a Portrait Party?

Just call or email Wendy to check availability and to find out everything you need to know to have a super successful party.  She will send you all the necessary paperwork including a portrait schedule, guest info sheets, invitations and fliers.  After the first party, you will be well on your way to becoming a portrait junkie!
