*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!
