Parties {for Layla} | Houston Portrait Photographer

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

**UPDATE**

For more information, please visit http://www.partyforlayla.com

Thank you so so much for your response and support!

It’s amazing how many hearts this little soul has captured; how many people she’s never met are meeting God for her; some for the first time.

I’ve been searching my heart trying to find more ways that I can help her and her family. I’ve been trying to find out a way that you, my friends & followers (and Layla’s Prayer warriors), can benefit but also a way that I can give back to Layla’s family and help them on their journey. I’ve finally settled on Limited Time Portrait Parties for Layla; Limited Portrait parties (mini sessions) that are at a super low cost to you. My prices will never be this low again and will only be this low when you book these limited events. Currently I have 3 events available for March and am working on my April calendar as we speak.

Cindy Ly - Hello Christie,

I would love to contribute to this great cause for Layla, and thank you for this wonderful thing you are doing for this amazing family. My question is, do you have a party host that has booked one of the later March dates and they have an open spot that I can take up, as I would love to participate?

If not, then I am interested in hosting one in April…please let me know when your April dates are open. God bless you for your wonderful generosity, and thank you for letting us all get involved….prayers always for Layla and her family.

Sincerely,

Cindy Ly

Nicole Dickens - Hi! I’m very interested in booking a party to benefit Layla. Do you have your April dates yet? My only concern is most of the people I know all work and wouldn’t be available unless it was on a Sat or possibly in the evening on a Friday. Please contact me at my e-mail address and we can discuss the specifics! Thanks so much, what you are doing is a really generous thing.

Lindsay Garrett - Christie-

I am very interested in your party. My son has a life threatening condition as well called Diamond Blackfan Anemia. We have spent much time on the 9th floor at Texas Children’s and the cancer center treating him. There is currently no cure and he is kept alive by current blood transfusions. My best friends son was diagnosed three weeks before James Thomas with a life threatening skin condition as well. I can’t stop crying when I look at Layla’s blog and my heart hurts for her family. We would love to host a session. We live in west Houston (Dairy Ashford and I-10). Let me know if you get any dates in April. Thank you for doing this for them. Their family pictures are beautiful. When you aren’t sure how long you will have your children you cherish every picture!

Love
Lindsay

Jennifer Hamilton - I am definitely interested in hosting a party. I don’t know if I could find at least 10 others. Let me know if you have people just wanting to go to a session. Please let me know when you can, the dates in April. Do you do weekend sessions or Fridays? Thanks so much for all you’re doing for little Layla and her family.

February 25, 2010 - 8:23 am

Kristi Skeen - Hi Christie – I am interested in booking a portrait party to help out this precious family. I know you aren’t booking until April now but I just wanted to put it out there that I am interested in hosting a party. In the package pricing, just so I can be able to answer questions when I start gathering my families, the $50 per child just includes the one 8×10 picture but 5 – 10 images to order other pictures from. Correct?

February 24, 2010 - 12:06 pm

Amanda Putman - Hi there! I am very interested in booking a portrait party. I do have a few questions though. Are the portraits to be taken of children only, or can the session be for anyone? (I personally would like to have my son’s (4yrs) picture made with his gradparents, as well as his (91yr) great, great-grandmother- I may be interested in having her individual picture made as well.)

Also, how long do the parties normally last? How many people would you normally shoot at one party (Meaning, how many people should I invite?)

THANK YOU!!
