Operation Smile in October!
These professional photographers have pledged to contribute a portion of each October Family Portrait Month sale to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner.
October is an ideal time for families to have their portraits created, because the holiday season is just around the corner. Few gifts are appreciated as much as portraits of family members.
When families participate in Family Portrait Month, they will change the lives of children who would otherwise face a lifetime of pain and rejection. Each year, Operation Smile, a private, not-for-profit organization with thousands of volunteer surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and other specialized health care professionals, performs free surgeries on thousands of needy children around the world. In as little as 45 minutes and for a cost of approximately $240, one cleft lip surgery can change a child’s life forever. Each year, more than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity in Operation Smile's 25 partner countries. Tens of thousands remain untreated.
During the month of October I will be donating $25 per hour from each family or couples portrait session to Operation Smile (if a family books a two hour session $50 will be donated). I do all sessions on location, or locations, of the family’s choice. Anything from the park, to the forest, to the city, and especially your home! Capture the essence and joy of being a family in a fun way, while changing a child’s life forever.
