Portrait Parties!/ Gainesville Children's Photographer

Introducing portrait parties, a fun idea for playgroups! So how does it work? Just invite 4-5 of your child's friends to your home or a nearby park and have a fun play date while I do mini-sessions with the little ones. Each child will get 15-20 minutes to strut their stuff in front of the camera (or rather, have me chase them around acting silly), and afterwards, your pictures will be posted in a private online gallery. So what does it cost? That's the best part, there's no session fee, and even better, the host will receive a $50 print credit! Parents simply order any prints they want from the gallery. And to make it even more fun, any brave moms or dads can get a complimentary low-resolution profile picture for use on Facebook or other social networking sites. How fun is that!? And wait, there's one more offer...any families who book a full session that day will get $50 off their session fee. Interested? Give me a call or send me an email to set up your party today!

Mother's Day and Father's Day Special!/ Gainesville Child Photographer

Mother's Day and Father's day are right around the corner. There's no better gift than portraits of you and your child, or a gift certificate to give to your partner for that special day. There's still plenty of time to get a gift certificate for Mom, or to schedule a session and surprise Dad with beautiful portraits. Buy or book by the end of April and receive a free set of 3 accordion albums with your order!

Spring has Sprung!/ Portland Oregon Family Photography

Christine Richmond Photography will also be "on the road again" and will be offering a limited number of sessions in North and Central Florida at the end of April. Please contact me if you're interested.

Baby's First Year Special! Portland Child Photography

I think it's a great idea to offer a package that will help document that crazy first year. Sometimes I tell my husband that I barely remember our sons' first year, probably due to extreme sleep deprivation, and I always wish we had more pictures to remember it by. This package includes 4 sessions for $250 (prints sold separately), typically consisting of maternity, newborn, 6 month, and 12 month sessions. If you prefer to mix it up a bit that's fine too. Each session will include a free 8 x 10 print, and after the last session you can opt for a First Year Album that brings together the whole first year!

September Special! Portland Family and Child Photography

Don't miss out on the September special. Book your September session now and receive 15% off all large prints or products (11 x 14 or larger)!

Location Special!

So I've been hunting around for different locations in and around town, especially looking for a nice orchard or vineyard to use. I finally found one that I can't wait to try out, so here's a deal for the first family or couple who wants it...Youngberg Hill Vineyards in McMinnville has graciously agreed to let me shoot there and it looks like it would make a perfect setting for a sunset shoot- engagement or family photos anyone? If you or someone you know would like to try it out with me, I'm offering a free session (prints will be regular price)! This is a great chance to get some pictures in a beautiful setting, enjoy some wine, and heck, even stay for the night! Keep in mind it's a bit of a drive (a little over an hour from Portland), but I think it will be worth it. Pass the word if you know any vinophiles out there.
