Children's Theme Portraits

Unique Creations - Genuine Expressions

What
Several times each year, the studio will be converted into an elaborately decorated 'themed set' designed for children aged 8 and younger. Each theme will be a unique creation and NOT likely to be repeated for several years so as to keep our sets fresh and new.

All theme sessions include a base package of one 8x10, two 5x7s and 8 wallets of a single pose selected by you from about 10-15 proofs. Prints are retouched and printed on professional matte paper. After you have satisfied this minimum purchase requirement, you may order additional prints and poses either a-la-carte or via one of our add-on packages.

When
Generally speaking, there will be a theme surrounding the following seasons. Remember, themed sets will be elaborate and unique. Although some themes may be more attractive for boys and others for girls, all themes are appropriate for both genders.

Exact dates for the upcoming calendar year have been determined, but are not published here in order to minimize confusion should dates need to change.

  • Valentine's Day (January)
  • Easter (March/April)
  • Spring (April/May)
  • Early Summer (June)
  • Mid-Summer (July)
  • Back to School (August)
  • Fall (September)
  • Christmas (November)

Reminder Mailings
Approximately one month before each theme launches, I will mail postcards to announce specific dates and pricing while also giving you an example of the theme's 'look'.

Themed sets will be up for two Saturdays (no Sunday bookings) and the week between them. This means that capacity is limited. So, if a particular theme interests you, it is wise to book early.

If you would like to be on my mailing list, please contact me using the Contact Us link. I am happy to mail you a postcard announcing each event.
