The more you know...

Oh hello there friends!
It has been raining for days and that makes photographers sad :( we start getting antsy and craving sessions and shooting time. However, it is also a great time to catch up on retched paperwork and also work on new things! Like packages, session types and promotional items. So it is this rainy weather I am letting all you beautiful people know of some things we offer that you may not be aware of!

What Is a Portrait Party?

Portrait Parties are exciting opportunities for you and your friends to have professional portraits made in a fun and affordable way.  The party takes place at the hostess’s home, a park, or another suitable location for shooting portraits – Cynthia will set up a shooting area inside or out. Each guest receives a 20 minute mini session.  And here’s the best part – as a hostess, besides getting your own mini session, you receive 10% of the party order total as portrait credit!

What is required of me as a hostess?

You will be in charge of organizing the Portrait Party.  You will be the key ingredient to a successful party.  You will invite guests, coordinate food and drinks, schedule sessions (a minimum of 4 bookings is required) and confirm all bookings.  Successful hosts follow up with their guests with reminders to ensure that every session time is filled to get the most portrait credits possible.  After the party, the guests will visit their online gallery (with 10-15 images) to view their portraits and order prints.  After all guests have ordered, you will then be able to place an order based on credits from your guests’ purchases.

What type of portraits do you offer?

Portrait Party mini sessions are limited to 1-2 people per time slot (unless you choose to do a Family theme), and are best for ages 6 months (sitting) and older. One outfit change is allowed.  As the hostess, you will decide on one theme for your party.  Themes for Portrait Parties are only limited to your imagination.  Here are some ideas:  Children, holidays (Halloween, fall, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Valentine’s Day), Seniors, glamour, pets, maternity, football, teens, families.

How Far in Advance Should I Schedule My Portrait Party?

Portrait Parties usually have a better turn out when scheduled approximately six weeks in advance. This will ensure your guests will be able to attend and give you ample time to meet with Cynthia and to prepare for your Party.

How do I schedule a Portrait Party?

Just call or email Cynthia to check availability and to find out everything you need to know to have a super successful party.  She will send you all the necessary paperwork including a portrait schedule, guest info sheets, invitations and fliers.  After the first party, you will be well on your way to becoming a portrait junkie!

We also come events, we recently covered the Jacksonville University Film Festival, event coverage varies depending on your budget and the type of coverage you desire. Email Cynthia for further information about covering an event.

As you can see we can cover your event in a way that will please all the parties involved, including any sponsors you may have. Their is no event too big or too small for us, and nothing we can't cover. Cynthia can give you a great price on any event and work with in your budget but still provide excellent quality images and professional work.

For more information on covering an event email cynthia@unobstructedstudios.com with your event information and we will work you to ensure everything is taken care of and goes smoothly. 
Hope everyone is having a great day and stays dry!
