The concept is simple \u2013  gather a group of guests and their families together in a home for a  party and we\u2019ll\u00a0either bring our studio to you or you can choose an on-site outdoor location! Parties can be general family and children sessions or  themed sessions such as glamour, babies, seniors, couples, etc\u2026 Each  guest and their family will get a 15-20 minute photo session during the  party. While guests are not required to remain at the party for the full  length of time, it is a party so hanging out is encouraged to make the  time more enjoyable for all guests. Guests, however, are asked to arrive  and be prepared for their session at least 5 minutes before their  scheduled time slot.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Online Viewing for Print  Parties<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\">Each guest will then be able to view  proofs in an online viewing within two weeks of the portrait party.  Guests can view these images in the privacy of their own home and order  their favorite prints at our regular print pricing. Print order pricing  will be provided during the party so that all guests have the  information that they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"> <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What does it take to  host a party?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"> Hosting a portrait party is a great  way to bring professional photography into a comfortable environment  with friends. Hosting a party is simple; Hosts are asked to provide a  pre-prepared (furniture removed, etc\u2026) open room large enough to be  transformed into a photo studio . Outdoor settings are also  possible within season, weather permitting. You can choose to have your  portrait party at a Park or a Lake.\u00a0 Hosts are also asked to invite\u00a06 to 12 guests and their  families and provide a party atmosphere including snack foods, etc\u2026 We  ask that hosts please provide snack foods that will not get kids dirty  easily.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What are the benefits of  hosting?<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\">Just like other in-home gatherings  of this sort, the responsibilities of being a host are easily offset by  the special benefits that accompany hosting. As with the other guests,  the host will receive a 15-20 minute photography session.\u00a0 Hosts will  receive a Value Print Package for FREE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> Attending  a Portrait Party<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why attend a Portrait  party?<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\">Because it&#8217;s FUN, that&#8217;s why! You  get to hang out with friends and\/or family and get some portraits taken  of you and your family in an enjoyable environment. You won&#8217;t be  pressured to purchase a bigger package or get a bunch of prints that you  don&#8217;t need or want.\u00a0 You can view them in your home, place  your order via email, and sit back and wait for your prints or cd. How easy is  that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Harrington; font-size: medium;\"> <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What&#8217;s the catch to  attending?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Harrington;\"> If you&#8217;re looking for the  fine print, there simply isn&#8217;t any&#8230; Just show up and be ready for your  mini-session at least five minutes before it&#8217;s scheduled start time.  Bring any props that you want in your images &#8211; blankets, toys, hats,  jerseys, etc&#8230; &#8211; that are special to you or your family.
