After a very long hiatus from parties, I have decided to start doing them again! Back in 2006-2009, I was co-owner in a Photography company here in Calgary that specialized in Portrait Parties, and it was a lot of fun. When I went on my own, I didn’t do them, mostly because I had a baby, but also because I had space for a studio in my basement. We are wanting to [actually] develop our basement this winter, and I will be losing my studio temporarily, so I will bring the studio to you!
First – the DEAL! Past hostesses from Shutterbug’s Photography receive 3 FREE digital files, in addition to their Hostess Credit! That’s an extra $120 worth of stuff!
Here’s how a Portrait Party works:
-The Hostess (or Host) invites and schedules families to their house, in 1/2 hour intervals. You need 5 families plus yours (6 total) for the party to happen, but no more than 10 please!
-Each family gets a private 1/2 hour full studio session in the comfort of your home.
-Less than a week later, all families will be able to see their images in a password protected gallery on-line, and order what they wish (no selling for the Hostess!).
-The Hostess receives 20% of the total sales as credit for their prints & digital files.
-All orders are delivered to the Hostess, or they can be picked up from me.
As an introductory special – all parties booked before November 1, 2011 will be FREE for all families (regular $50/family).
Please note – you need a very LARGE space to host a party. With the lights & backdrop, I need a space at least 12′ x 20′ – basements work best, for space and privacy.
Parties are available in Calgary AND Sylvan Lake. Travel costs may be added for outside of town.
Here’s some images from a party I did last winter:
