Personality Portrait Fundraisers
Prepared for [Organization Name]

A fundraiser families actually love

No candy sales. No magazine drives. Just happy kids and happy parents.

Hi! I'm Marni, a Metro Detroit family photographer. Personality Portraits are quick, 5-minute photo sessions that capture kids just as they are: silly, sweet, and full of personality. Parents get affordable photos they'll treasure, and your organization earns money with very little work. It's honestly the easiest fundraiser you'll ever host!

How it works

Easy for you, fun for families

What I take care of

  • A custom sign-up page so families book in seconds
  • Ready-to-share flyers, emails, and social posts
  • All booking, payments, reminders, and follow-up emails
  • Photographing every kiddo and delivering their galleries
  • A check to your organization once the event wraps up

What I need from you

  • A space to host, like a classroom, library, gym corner, or community room
  • Help spreading the word using the materials I send
  • One main contact person
  • Two parent volunteers on event day, who get complimentary images as a thank-you

What families get

  • A fun, stress-free 5-minute session (siblings welcome!)
  • $25 to book, including one digital image
  • Extra images for $25 each, or the full gallery (12–15 images) for $100
  • No family ever spends more than $125
  • Their gallery within 2 weeks

Organizer FAQ

Questions? I've got answers

How much space do you need?

Not much! An area at least 10×12 feet with an electrical outlet nearby works great, and a little extra room is even better. I bring all the lighting, backdrops, and equipment.

Do we handle any money?

Nope! Families book and pay through me directly, so there's no cash box or collecting checks.

What do the volunteers do?

One checks families in as they arrive. The other helps the next kiddo get ready so we stay on schedule. It's an easy, fun job, and they get free photos for helping!

When do we receive our funds?

I'll mail your check within 4 weeks after gallery sales close.

What if we don't reach 25 families?

We'll talk it through together, whether that's extending sign-ups, sharing more reminders, or picking a new date. My goal is to make this work for you.

Can we host more than once?

Absolutely! Lots of groups love a winter event and a spring event.
