Yesterday I did a portrait party which included 11 mini sessions. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and I'm very happy with the results. I will be sharing a few from each mini session to give the guests a little look while they wait for their gallery to be up.....with 11 sessions-worth of images to proof it's going to take a while :)
Is this little girl gorgeous or what?? I have barely started proofing this session but wanted to share a few. I'll share more after I get through more.
I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding on Saturday in Lambeau Field. The bride and groom are gorgeous and the atrium and stadium are really cool....which makes for some pretty fun wedding photographs. We thought we were going to be able to get out on the field for some, but as it turned out we were not. We were, however, able to take some looking out over the field...
I had to offer my first ever re-shoot for a session..... I just couldn't get the children to look at the camera or stay by the backdrop or stop moving even for a second. The father was gone so it was just the mother and she was really busy so couldn't help much.... and my heart sank when I ended the session with nothing. Well, fortunately the children were available for a second try, a week later, and their parents were both home this time so their dad could help out. The second try was a completely different experience and I got a LOT of keepers. Schwew!
I am selling my Olympus E-510 camera body and 50-200mm 2.8 lens, as well as my Olympus FL-50 speedlight. This is an excellent system, Olympus' top end semi-pro camera. I loved this system, but made the switch to Canon equipment. If you are interested, please email me at rebecca@soulreflectionphotography.com
Portrait Parties
New for 2008: Portrait Parties! I have decided, after much success with mini-sessions last year, to offer Portrait Parties in 2008. Just like a Tupperware party, the host/hostess invites guests to participate in mini-sessions at his/her home or other location...and in return receives a print credit of 20% of total sales from the party. I will be happy to help you work out the details of your party, and will supply you with custom invitations. Guests receive a free mini-session, and in return will be required to purchase at least $50.00 in prints, which is due at the time of the mini session to be held as a print credit towards their order. Each mini-session will be about 20 minutes in length and is for up to four people. If a guest requires more than 30 minutes, or wishes to include more than four people in their session there will be a $25.00 fee. I will bring several backdrops to the party so the host need not worry about having the 'perfect' spot in their home. All I need is an average sized room with some good window light. Often I push the dining table out of the way and take advantage of patio doors. In order to host a portrait party you must have at least 6 guests book mini sessions.
