This is sooo cute!

I think the only thing missing from this Fancy Nancy Party (scroll down once you click this outside link) is some Fancy Face Painting!

Party Link Love – The Circus!

I’ve been getting a lot of calls for birthday parties that are Circus or Carnival themed.

Henry's Circus Party

Personally, I am over the moon about these parties.  They are seriously my favorite themes EVER.

Ryder's Circus

I’m going to post some links to great Circus and Carnival themes that I think you might find useful in case you are having “party planner” block.

Lauren & Jacob’s

 

Henry’s Circus Party  - I’m loving the clown noses for photos trend!

Ryder’s Circus – Cute, simple decor.  Proof you don’t have to go overboard to make the theme work.

Lauren & Jacob’s Circus Birthday – Love the mustaches! 

Miss S’s First Birthday - Finally!  An example with a professional face painter.  I can actually tell exactly what products are on the artist’s table.  Also – cotton candy makes me swoon. 

and THIS makes me want to sob like a baby - How preciously hipster is this wedding?  I crave parties like this.

Hiring a Professional Face Painter in Baltimore or Columbia, MD

Why would you want to hire me – the Owner and Artist of Bright & Shining Face Painting?

Because I make you look smart in front of your friends and family.

  • I paint truly amazing designs very quickly so your guests can enjoy the party you planned.
  • My setup area is clean and organized and looks excellent in photos.
  • I use special, safe products so even the most sensitive guests can have a “little something”.
  • I am reliable, punctual, and professionally dressed (polo + dark pants).

You found my website but now you are wavering about calling me for a quote.

Thoughts running through your mind:

“Uh oh – this is going to be expensive…”

“My friend/sister/grandma is an excellent artist – she can handle 25 screaming, sugar crazed moving targets.”

“I don’t need to call.  I’ll just find someone on Craigslist.”

I am a Professional Face Painter.  Please, allow me to address your concerns:

  • You will get what you pay for when it comes to face painters.  You can pay a little less and risk the disappointment of your guests or you can pay me and be 100% certain to astonish them.
  • Fine arts training does not a Children’s Entertainer make.  Let your friends enjoy the party instead of suffering through a confusing 2 hours of disappointed kids.
  • Do you really want a stranger coming into your home when you haven’t even talked with them before?  These people come in very close contact with your children – you should get to know them first.

I am available for those events that you want to be remembered as exceptional.


I am incredible.  I am fast.  I am worth it.

There are only so many years that you will have birthday parties at home.
Enjoy having them while you can – teenager parties are a whole different beast.
But the parties at home… These are the parties they remember.
And I help make them worth remembering.

Call right now to speak with me, Michelle Heffner: 443-878-2654
- Keep a pencil and notepad nearby during the call.
- Expect to spend 15 minutes on the phone discussing the details.
- We’ll also discuss photos and how you can focus on the party instead.
- At the end, we’ll talk about the deposit and how you can pay via PayPal.

But you have to call me.  Now.

Otherwise, some other kid’s mom is going to snag your day.
