Summer Portrait Parties {Ladera Ranch Family Photography}

Hey all!!

I just wanted to do a little shout out about our Newly Added Portrait Parties!!! Theyre basically little 15min Mini Sessions that you can host for your's and your friend's families!!! Each session comes with 15 min of our fantastic photographer, ME! ;) wink wink and a Portrait Enhanced CD of up to 20 images with a Print Release Card!

We had our Summer August Portrait Party with the lovely Chantel as our host, who is apart of the MPM Mom's Club in Orange County CA (Melting Pot Moms). We had 17 wonderful families come out and join us in the gorgeous fields, with our lovely friends, Sunshine, Heat and little buggies lol.

Here is just a few of whats to come from The MPM Mom's Club Portrait Party!

If you're interested in hosting your own Portrait Party, send us a message, text or give us a ring! Love to set something up!!!

What to Wear for Your Portrait Session?

Hmmm...what should we wear??? Of corse you want to look cute, pretty and sexy; but its that question that rolls around in our heads once we book a Portrait Session. So, to help give a little inspiration, I have provided our lovely Digital Paper Dolls lol, thats what it felt like when I was designing them.

I personally find it helpful to think of different dates for Engagement Sessions, for example. You have the date where you may be going to the museum, the date where it is an evening dinner and a movie or the candle lit dinner and music. If you think about scenarios, characters, different times of the day and even your Portrait Location; you'll be able to find just the right attire.

I love details, accessories and smokin' hot heels lol. So, the more the better! Of corse you do want to make sure you are both in coordinating color tones and that the style is you and you feel comfortable in it.

Remember, these are your Portraits, you want to not only look your best; but you want to feel your best too! So, enjoy the little Wardrobe Inspirations I have designed for you and yes, they're named after birdies hehe, hence Sparrow Memories lol.
