Host a Portrait Party!
What is a Portrait Party?
Portrait parties bring together friends and family for affordable professional portraits taken in a relaxed, natural environment. These sessions give everyone a custom portrait experience with Bonnie Raley Photography without the larger investment of a full custom session.
How do Portrait Parties work?
You invite 5 to 10 families to the party and for your hard work as hostess, you enjoy a complimentary session (based on the minimum attendees). It’s an easy and fun opportunity to have beautiful portraits made of your family in a relaxed and fun environment. If you book upwards of 10 there is a bonus gift in it for you too!!
The Portrait Party is organized by a hostess. She provides the location (a park etc), snacks and drinks and coordinates the guest list. The session costs $75 per family and will be 15 minutes long (perfect for little ones who do not like sitting for photos, or for older ones who like it even less!). Guests enjoy a fun time together and a relaxed, professional portrait session. It’s a great time for everyone involved and mom can hop in too!
A week or two after the party, each family’s proofs will go on line for viewing. Guests will choose their five favorite digital files. I will prepare a link for an immediate download and they will have their images to print as many times as t hey like wherever they like. 🙂 BRP always recommends mpix.com.

What are my responsibilities as a Portrait Party host?
The Portrait Party is organized by the host, so you are the key ingredient to a fabulous and successful experience. Hosts invite guests, coordinate the bringing of snacks and drinks and other pertinent details of the event.
Do I receive free portraits if I host a Portrait Party?
Absolutely! The number-one benefit of hosting your own party (aside from the fun factor) is that your family portraits are complimentary for your efforts. It’s a great way to buy those larger pieces that you wouldn’t normally purchase (like large canvas prints). Sure it’s a bit of work, but after hosting your first party, you will find yourself looking forward to the next opportunity to host, and planning what great portrait products you’ll be purchasing next time! What a great way to collect precious and gorgeous memories of your family at little cost!
What should I tell people to wear?
I can provide you info to share with everyone to help them coordinate outfits. Or to mix it up and make it fun, feel free to choose from one of the following:
- Superheros
- Princesses & Pirates
- Tea Party
- Holidays (Christmas, Easter, 4th of July)
