Today I am very excited to announce a new type of portrait and pricing option, just in time for the holidays.


Those adorable children belong to Allison of Petit Elefant (and if you head over to her blog, she’ll be doing a giveaway for 3 portraits on her blog today). I’ll have limited slots available for the holiday season, so act fast if you are interested in getting a portrait of a loved one (or yourself) this year! As extra incentive, I’m offering 20% off all orders that come in by December 10 at midnight MST. Read below for all of the details.
PRICE: These portraits are priced at $100 per person. So if you want two separate portraits of two different people (or the same person), that would be $200. If you want two people in the same portrait, that would still be $200. And so on! (But remember that if you order before December 10th, you will get it for 20% off.)
WHAT’S INCLUDED: For $100, you get the full resolution file that can be printed at sizes up to 16×20 (but if you would like to go larger, just let me know and I’ll make sure that when I’m doing the portrait, I’m making it large enough for what you would like to print). You also get the rights to your portrait. So you can print as many copies as you like, totally unrestricted. You can use this in any way that you like. It is absolutely yours and you don’t need to ask us any usage permissions.
PRINTS ARE EXTRA: If you would like me to take care of the prints for you so they are mailed to your door, I am happy to do that. You simply let me know what sizes and quantities you would like, and I’ll just charge you the cost of printing and shipping, plus a $15 processing fee to cover my time.
GIFT IDEA? This is a perfect gift idea this holiday season. As shown above, you can order portraits of your children to give to your spouse, your children, your parents, aunts and uncles… the list goes on! Since you are free to print as many as you like, you can cross lots of people off your holiday shopping list with just one gift. This is also a great idea for adults. Do you know someone who uses a photo of themselves on their “about” page of their site or blog? Maybe they’d want something a little bit different from everything else that’s out there. This head shot option makes a great impression.
HOW IT WORKS: To place an order with me, just copy and paste the text below into an email to contact@ollibird.com and make sure you answer all the questions. I’ll get back to you the same day to let you know your estimated time frame and to send you payment info. There are a limited number of slots available before Christmas, so act fast!
Your name:
Subject’s name:
Print yourself, or order prints?
If printing yourself, will you want to print larger than 16×20?
If ordering prints, what sizes and quantities?
3×5
4×5
5×7
8×10
11×14
16×20
20×30
Please include the photo of the subject you would like to be used as reference. This photo should have plenty of detail in the face and be a larger file size (500 KB minimum).
Please also indicate the background color you would like to use for the portrait. Choose any color and I’ll double check with you to make sure that I’m getting the same color you have in mind.
We will not be able to book your order until we have received an answer to each of these items from you.
Upon receipt of your email, I will inform you of my estimated time frame (usually within 2-4 business days), whether I feel that the photo will work for the project, and payment instructions. Before I can begin work on the project, I’ll need a deposit of 50 percent. The balance will be due upon approval of final portrait but before delivery of prints or file.
Happy holidays, and I look forward to working with some of you on portrait projects over the next few weeks. Remember that my regular portrait options are also available, and I’m more than happy to extend the 20 percent discount to those orders before December 10, too!
