Great Idea For Those Of You That Work Fairs And Festivals

hey you guys,...i had the chance to paint at a fair with cindy yee, and rebecca s. recently ...it was so fun working with them;) thanks girls!!!

these photos were taken at the fair, they are 3-5 min faces....painted with arty brush cakes...

but, the great idea we had, was to put up a photo op area.

we put up a red panel, had a small table with a mirror and basket of head pieces...so, parents could take pictures of their kids....before all of the make up melts off in the heat.

i would say 90% of parents took advantage of the photo op area!

even the event director came by, and said that people had come to her, to tell her how much they liked, and appreciated the photo area ?!

just sharing....and, of course, thanks to mark reid...the inspiration for the tiger. painted with an arty cake;)

we were lucky, we had 3 painters and a 20x10 corner booth...so, we had the space for a photo area.

but, it really is a great idea for those of you that do fairs and festivals;)

i'll post more pictures on my face book page;)

we did have one head piece walk off...but, oh well...

Very cool! Did you charge for the photos? Do you email them to the momma's or do they take them themselves? Love the designs! Thanks for sharing the ideas! My little balloon twister gets tired of twisting, this might be something she could do for a change!

we just had parents take their own photos.

but, when i had a tea party biz, we would take the childs picture, print it on site with a portable photo printer (about 100.00)...

put the pic in a frame, and it was the child's party favor.

wow!

you know...that's a great idea! so many parent's only had their phone...i'm sure they would pay 5-8 dollars for a pic of their child in a frame with your logo on it!!

we may do that next year!

we'd have to hire an extra person...but, it was a huge hit

had to include a couple of pics from my tea party days.
that's what got me face painting!!!

I loooove this idea! Shear brilliance x

You are so talented. What a great idea, I'll try it this weekend

Wow! Great idea! TFS!
I LOVE the Arty Cake in the first mask, especially! What is the name of that one? (Need it for my wish-list!)
It's hard to imagine sometimes how they'll look when used. The plain swatches don't do them justice sometimes. Seeing this one in action has me SOLD! It's dramatic, impressive, and stunning!

Very pretty pic, love them well done.

thank you so much!!

i based the mask with lotus

and painted the crown with fire fly

it was very popular last week end

thanks again!

Awesome photos!

I love the idea, I have been wanting to do something similar myself, Its nice to see someone else do it and have it be successful! I love the idea of adding in the accessories!

I plan to do it at birthdays (where I have a little more time) and charge $5 for each kids photo, which I will then send to the party host on a disk all edited.
I have a portable photo printer and had thought of printing them all off there and then, but then I am to scared to print them off without editing.

You're so talented! Those are beautiful designs in themselves...and then to do them in 3 minutes! Amazing

Great idea...do you have a picture of the photo set up?...I do theme parties for girls...only i called it glamour girl party...doing fancy eyes....playing with nail polish, necklaces, boas, etc...then I take their picture and frame them...and it goes to each girl...that is their party favor!...and I also do craft birthday parties for girls....they choose either galllery glass...painting....cards...etc....and they can add face painting to it...and/or glitter tattoos....I am just getting started in all this...have done a few here and there...and decided to get serious about the girl parties....why not have fun... so I would LOVE to see your photo shot set up....and someday when I figure it out...I will post pictures...I have a bunch to post...just need to figure this all out!...may have to get my 11 year old granddaughter to help me...

Really nice designs, love the colors. The photo op is a great idea, although I'd do one thing differently. From working at an elementary school I've learned to never let children share hats or hair accessories of any kind. Why? Lice! Ewwww

We team up with the local camera store - then they have the diff backdrops, lights, good cameras, tripods, printers, as well as people - oh and pay us to be there to give people a reason to want their picture taken......
