Don't be tardy for the party!

So we know you've been waiting all day for this announcement! You may have been waiting all day but we have been working on this project for over a month now. While it's still not completely finalized (we still have some marketing shoots and print materials to produce), we are finally ready to roll it out to our customers. Drum roll please!!!!

Introducing...... Oh Snap! Portrait Parties by Sarah Dennis Photography!

What in the world is a portrait party??

You've attended Tupperware, Home Interiors, etc. right? Some of you have probably even hosted them. Maybe you were even a consultant. Portrait parties are basically the same idea except instead of buying candle or plastic containers, you are purchasing portraits of your kids! That's right, I said kids (Portrait parties are only open to ages 9 mo-12 yo with a few exceptions- we'll get to those later!). As a host, you not only will get the same awesome deals as the guests you invite, but you'll get a free extended session just for hosting as well as earn Host Rewards! Depending on the size of your party, you could get all of your portraits for free (and you'll earn extra rewards if a guest books their own party!). Hosting is easy- just invite 5-10 of your friends with kids! Your friends will love it- no pressure for them if Little Suzy is having a cranky day or if Jimmy wakes up with a cold. Plus no session fees and no pressure to buy- just a really fun play date with their friends in a relax atmosphere (I just happen to be there with a camera!). As an added bonus, our packages are discounted for your guests- meaning, the prices they receive if they do choose to buy will be cheaper than our regular studio prices (and include our most popular products like collage prints, Organic Bloom Frames, and accordian albums!).

Break it down for me, Sarah. How does all this work?

Step 1: Decide to host a party and contact us to select a date! We will begin Oh Snap! Portrait Parties in July and will book on a first come, first serve basis. Once a date is selected, we suggest that you pick a theme for your party- it can be classic portraits, When I Grow Up Sessions, Black and White, Tea Party- anything you like (remember I promised an exception to the age rule? We will on occassion offer Mommy and Me, Daddy and Me, and Family Portrait Parties. These will be exclusive parties at certain times of the year- watch for those announcements and book fast. Bookings will be limited)! This helps give your guests an idea of what to expect and helps them to dress/plan accordingly. You will also select a location and time. We suggest a park or outdoor location for maximum fun! You may also host at our studio if you like.

Step 2: Gather a list of friends and review our Host packet that will be mailed to you. It will include invitations for you to mail to your guests. Remember to invite 5-10 guest. You will need to have 5 confirmed guests to receive Host Rewards and no more than 10 guests.

Step 3: Enjoy your Oh Snap! Portrait Party!!

Step 4: Sarah Dennis Photography will schedule a follow up time (approx 1 week later) to meet with your guests to place their orders. If you prefer, we can set up online ordering through our website. We will deliver your guests orders to you to distribute.

Step 5: Hang all of your fab new FREE portraits that you earned from your portrait party and schedule your next party!!


How easy is that?!! 5 simple steps! So RUN! You don't want to be tardy for the party, now do you?? Okay, don't really run (we wouldn't want you to get hurt and MISS the party). But at least walk really really fast to your phone and call to book your own Oh Snap! Portrait Party- (814) 213-0320 today!
