Quick Mini with Grandma {Raleigh Children’s Photographer}

July 29, 2010

I photographed Miss C. a week or so ago for her 2nd birthday portraits…but Grandma, who lives across the country was in for a visit so we fit in a quick mini-session to snap a few generation photos and portraits with Grandma. The heat was relentless again, but Miss C. was still cute as ever and did so well!

This morning I had the pleasure of photographing a little girl in her First Communion gown. This is a special time in her life….what a little princess! I can’t wait until I’m dress shopping for my own little girl next year!

Want to earn free custom portraits?

March 12, 2009

Along with my regular studio sessions and products, I also offer in-home Portrait Party Events. They are a great way to get those custom portraits you want of your children, in the comfort of your own home! Simply invite 5-12 of your friends or family to your home…I’ll set up a small portable studio set-up. You and your guests will get abbreviated sessions….and like other home parties…you will earn rewards (in this case ‘portrait credits’ toward your own purchase)! In addition to earned credits, you also get the chance to earn special Hostess rewards!

If you’d like more information you can get the full information packet on the Portrait Party page.

When you are ready to book your party or if you have any questions, just give me a call or drop me a line. I can help you plan your party!
