Portrait Parties - Toronto Family Photographer

What is a portrait party?

It is a fun way to get fine art portraits at a fantastic price. You invite your friends and have a great time while everyone takes turns having their children or family photographed.

Where do we have the party?

The party can be held at your home. That means I bring the lights, backdrop and props to your home and set everything up there. You will need to have a closed off area large enough for me to set up my on-location studio. If this is not feasible for you then you are welcome to host your party at my home-studio.

\

Do you provide the invitations?

An online invite you can email to your guests will be provided by me.

Is there a minimum number of people required?

Yes, you will need to have at least 5 guests not including the hostess.

How long is the session and how many images do we receive?

Each guest is given a ½ hour time slot. Each guest will receive a gallery with 10-15 images for them to choose from.

How many people can we include in the session?

You may include up to 5 people from your immediate family. There is a $10 charge per additional person.

What is a reservation fee?

In order to secure a portrait session at the party each guest will need to pay $30 to reserve the spot. This reservation fee is then converted to a print credit after the session.

What will this cost?

The reservation fee is converted to a print credit so essentially the session is free to your guests. They will also receive 20% off my regular print prices and 10% off canvasses. Special collection pricing is also available exclusively for portrait parties and collections start at $75. The host/hostess of the party will receive a free session and further credits and bonuses.

When do we receive our images?

Within 2 weeks of your portrait party, each guest will receive a link to a password protected private online gallery. The gallery will be available to them for 1 week to choose their images. Once payment is received, orders will be ready within 2-3 weeks.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in and would like more information on what you need to do to host a party then email me at anne@eyeamphotography.com or call the studio at 905-882-1459.

And what's a blog post without a photo. "H" has the most gorgeous eyes.

Holiday Mini Sessions - Toronto Family Photographer

I know that no one wants to hear me say this on such a gorgeous day but the leaves are starting to turn colours. Fall is coming and that means it is time for Fall Photos and of course Holiday Photos.

This is the time of year for family photography. If you are looking for fall sessions, the time to book is now. I know that no one wants to hear this but the leaves are starting to turn colours.

One to Share - Toronto Children's Photographer

I haven't shared in a little while and I do apologize. Summer has been very busy and I have lots to share. I will be posting images and more information over the next couple of weeks. Watch for holiday mini sessions as well as special discounts for returning clients.

A few weeks ago I held a contest on the website Child's Life
Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the children of the winner at a beautiful location in Markham, just north of Toronto. Here is one of the images from the session. I will share more images soon.

Delicious Newborn Baby - Toronto Newborn Photographer

Baby "A" was such an angel and slept for pretty much her entire session. She is just so beautiful and delicious. I just love the picture of her and her brother "Z". They look so contented with each other.

Gorgeous Maternity - Toronto Pregnancy Photographer

I really have to thank "K" for finding this gorgeous location for me. I've driven by it about a thousand times and never knew this part of Markham was there. What a beautiful location for photography of children or families or courageous pregnant women! The mosquitoes nearly ate us alive. Hopefully I distracted them because they really love me. Some of you may recognize "K" from my website. I have had the pleasure of photographing her for her first maternity session as well as her first newborn session. We've also had a couple family photography sessions over the last couple of years as well. Sometime next month I'll post some pics from her latest newborn session once the newest addition to her family is born.

Absolutely Adorable - Toronto Baby Photographer

Isn't he just the sweetest? I had such a great time photographing this adorable little boy. His parents came all the way from downtown Toronto to Richmond Hill so that I could photograph their little boy. I'll be posting more of this little cutie soon.

First Communion - Vaughan Photographer

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of these beautiful siblings a few weeks ago. What a gorgeous family. If you are having a big event like a first communion or baptism it is a good idea to hire a photographer to take family portraits before the event. It is a great way to commemorate such an important day in your lives.

Custom Collage - Toronto Baby Photographer

It's been a while since I've posted anything but the studio has been super busy. I'll be posting a bit over the next couple of days to share some new stuff. The have been so many family photography sessions over the last few weeks. I wanted to share a recent collage that I did for a beautiful family.

Newborn and Maternity Photography Special - Toronto Newborn Maternity Photographer

I love photographing newborns. They are adorable and squishy and cuddly. I really enjoy creating emotional artistic photographs of the newest addition to your families.

But before the newborn baby arrives, the anticipation and excitement of the maternity session is just beautiful.

So to celebrate the beauty of pregnant women and their newborns to be, I am running a special until the end of June. If you book a newborn photography session, then you will receive a complimentary maternity mini photography session. A mini session lasts half an hour and is just enough time to capture those beautiful bellies.

All mini sessions will be done in my studio in Richmond Hill, just a little north of Toronto. If you prefer that I come to you then you can certainly upgrade your session for an additional charge. Please contact the studio at 905-882-1459 to book an appointment and to answer any questions you have.

And what would a post be without a picture. This is baby "C" and she was such a sweetheart.

Toronto Family Photographer - Toronto Baby Photographer

This beautiful family was here in the studio last weekend. Things have been a little busy and I wanted to show a sneak peak from their session. "A" took a bit of time to warm up but with the help of some smarties we got some great shots of him.

End of Sale - Toronto Family Photographer

I just wanted to let everyone know that my fire sale is ending at the end of March. At this time any photos from session prior to 2007 will be deleted. I will keep the files from 2007 available for another couple of months and then any unordered images will be deleted but I'll post something here before that happens.

Baby website recommendation - Toronto Baby Photographer

I came across this site a couple of years ago and it is one of my favourite sites. They are a fountain of information. From product reviews to contests, they have all sorts of fabulous stuff. Check it out.

Toronto Newborn Photographer - Sneak Peak

One last post for tonight. This little guy's mom is patiently waiting for her gallery. I thought I would share one tonight for a little sneak peak. He was such a little sweetheart and I really enjoyed our session.

Toronto Child Photographer - New Studio Sessions

So some of you may be aware that my family and my studio moved this past summer to Richmond Hill. To be more specific, we are now in Oak Ridges. The studio is much bigger and I have added a few new backdrops and many new props. I'll be posting some pictures soon but for now my camera is at Canon getting cleaned.

Finally after 5 months of living here, the boxes are now out of the studio with the exception of one box. This is the box that contains all my frames. Now what I need are pictures. Of course I must have pictures you say. But.... the thing is I want some new pictures. I have some new hats and backdrops that I want to try out.

So I am offering some incentives. If you book a studio session in February or March, I will reduce the session fee half price to $75. If I choose an image from your session to be used in the studio you will receive a complimentary 8x10 of that image.

To book a session, please email me at anne@eyeamphotography.com or call the studio line at 905-882-1459.
