*IF You'd like quicker and cheaper service, please contact me directly, rather than through this website. Visit my official youtube website (link is above, at the top of this page) in order to do so. My email is located in the video description.

I am a professional female artist that's been painting faces for over 2 years now. I provide my services at private birthday parties and events of any kind or size. I use my own non-toxic paint and offer a variety of designs to choose from for both boys and girls. Available for any size party/event. It is preferred that a two week notice be given prior to your party event, and that the following information be given upon your reply: date of the event, time (of the day) and hours needed, and address or general area / city. After this information has been established, a confirmation phone call can be requested if you wish. My standard core fee is $50, and includes up to 1 hour. Small fees may be added depending on additional time (starting at only $10 per hour!) and distance (if you're not in Orlando (my base of operations)). I'm willing to go anywhere in Florida, as long as you'd be willing to pay. Gas doesn't come cheap after all.
I'd even be willing to travel to other states in the USA, if you agree to my proposed fee based on your distance from Florida. Just ask me if interested, and I'll tell you my charge.

I even offer to make custom designs, to better suit your party's theme, or your kid's interests. The first one is even free of charge, my gift to you!

Also, I even offer discount opportunities, to save you even more money! Contact me to find out more!

Individual face/body painting is also available for a standard price of $25, plus additional distance charges.

If interested please reply to this post with the above requested information and we can discuss further. Thanks! Tory

Question and Answer:
=================

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I most commonly paint for children's birthday parties, however, I'm willing and able to paint for most any size party or event. I have designs suitable for any age and either gender. I also offer more than only full-face designs. I offer tattoo-type that can go on either the cheek, arm, leg etc. I even offer to create custom designs specifically focused on a theme or a particular person's preferences, assuming you ask at least a week in advance. The first one is even free, my gift to you!

Q. Describe three recent jobs you've completed.

A. The most interesting job I've done recently was when I painted for a comic book themed wedding reception. Other than that, I've been doing mostly birthday parties recently. Just a few days ago I painted for a little girl's Rapunzel themed birthday party. Also, last year I painted for "Walk Now For Autism Speaks" in Port Orange and for the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Conference's Children program in Lake Buena Vista. To see a more complete list of my jobs, along with being able to read some reviews my past clients have written, peruse this site (scroll down for list of jobs; scroll up for written client reviews)

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. The only advice I can think of would be to have the basic information loosely decided upon before contacting me. It tends to help avoid confusion on either of our parts, and expediates the entire process. For example, ideally your first email should at the very least tell me the date you want me, the time (or how many hours you're thinking about), and your general area (such as your city and/or zipcode). More detailed information is also helpful, but the above mentioned are the most important initially for factoring availability and fees.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. You should preferably contact me at least two weeks in advance, with the desired date you'd want to hire me, the amount of hours approximately, and your general area (such as zip code and/or city)

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. Well, I was a waitress at a place called Kidtropolis for a while (it's similar to Chuck E. Cheeses), and they decided to have me start doing facepainting for the kids on the side, when I wasn't busy (as I'm an artist). I figured it shouldn't be too tricky, and I found I was good at it, and rather enjoyed it. Shortly after that, I decided to start seeking facepaint work on my own, with the help of a friend who helps me out via advertising and communicating with clients online. We've been doing this for about two years now, and hope to continue. I look forward to painting for you!
