Spring for Charity - SUCCESS!

First and foremost, I need to publicly give a BIG thank you to all of those that helped, participated, and made Spring for Charity possible!  I especially wanted to thank my sister, Anne, who flew out from DC to help with this event.  Also a big thanks to my mom and Jennifer’s mom… they  not only helped with the event, but helped wrangle our kids so we had one six less things to worry about!  And last and definitely not least… thanks to our husbands for all of their support and neglect over the last few weeks as we have been dedicating every spare minute into this.  OK, now that I official feel like I have given an Academy speech I will move on…

We had a very successful event on Saturday and were able to raise a lot of money for the Child Crisis Center.  We will be making an announcement in the next week or two on all the details, but wanted to share a little sneak peak from two of our participants. I also wanted to send a reminder that the images are all online on our online proofing gallery.  If you do not have this login information, please email me!  Be sure to check out the Spring for Charity blog for a few more images from Saturday.

Aren’t these expressions priceless?  Not to mention two adorable girls!

Anne — Thank you to Marnee and Jen for such a great event! I was so glad I could be a part of it and the pictures turned out great!! The chicks are adorable and the kids look even better. Good job girls!   ( March 27, 2009 @ 7:35 pm )

Mandy — They turned out great! I am obviously particularly fond of one of these little models. :) I love her little expression, and I loved her concern over them when ever they left her little lap. Too fun.   ( March 28, 2009 @ 11:00 pm )

Jane — These pictures are adorable. I LOVE Grace's expression. It was so fun to help with this event. Your new website/blog is also wonderful. Love it!   ( March 30, 2009 @ 2:36 am )

Just a few more spaces!

I’m overwhelmed at the support we have received for the Spring for Charity event.  Thank you for everyone that is  helping make this possible, and a big thank you to all you parents that have signed up to participate.  We are down to the last week… the big event is on Saturday!  We have a full day ahead of us, but still have room for just a couple more afternoon spots if anyone is still interested.  Click here for more information.  Thanks again!  I can’t wait!

More Charity Give-Aways…

Here’s a blog entry from Jen on our Spring for Charity blog:

I’ve talked to so many great people regarding the upcoming Spring Festival and am so excited at the great response we have gotten to our event! So far we are booked almost solid for sessions between 9:00 - 3pm which is longer than we originally planned. We are still taking a few more sessions and trying to accommodate as many people as possible, so PLEASE if you haven’t called to schedule with me…do so now! I don’t want to have to turn people away but we do have to limit the number of sessions we can take.
Also, Little Scholars Academy and David Goron of Professional Martial Arts Instruction have generously offered an additional incentive for those who have booked sessions for the charity event. David will be doing a free 45 minute Safety Class for kids. David is a 3rd Degree Black Belt and teaches a very hands on class to help kids understand and respond if ever in a dangerous situation. I’ve been told this is a great class in which the kids practice what they are being taught and even learn how to scream or say NO! and when it is appropriate. Anyone who is booking a session will be invited to bring their kids the following Saturday, March 28th at 10:00am for this class.
Thanks for everyone’s enthusiasm and support, we are so grateful!

Spring for Charity

I am so excited to finally announce our SPRING FOR CHARITY promotion!  I am so grateful for my good friend (and amazing photographer), Jennifer Garbett with PhotoJenic, for introducing this idea and really working hard on getting this promotion organized.  It should be an incredible day, and the best part is we will make a difference in the lives of valley children!

So… come support our photography event to benefit the CHILD CRISIS CENTER by participating in a mini photo session with our adorable baby chicks.  We have partnered with Little Scholars Academy on 43rd Ave and Bell to host the Spring for Charity Festival.  In addition to your mini photography session, there will be a bounce house, crafts, food, and many activities for kids of all ages.

Please call now to reserve your spot and help us help valley children.  For $75, your 10-minute mini session will include a 12×18 wall portrait and a $50 donation will be made to benefit the Child Crisis Center.

We will also be offering the option to add on spring or Easter cards or gift prints.

We only have 25 spots available, so please call now!  We expect to book up quickly!

623.935.5513 - Jennifer Garbett will be taking all reservations.

Jane — I think this a wonderful idea. I really hope lots of people sign up. Not only will people get great pictures of their kids, they will also be donating to a very special charity. I'll be there with my youngest (can you make a 25 year old look as cute with the chicks as these kids do? :)   ( February 27, 2009 @ 1:42 pm )

Anne — Being the 25 year old in question, I don't know how I feel about a statement like that from my mom! I would like to think she would believe I wouldn't need the chicks to look as cute as these kids. But then again, half of the kids are related to her too. I guess I'll forgive her this time. :) But I definitely want some pictures with the chicks. They are adorable!! I am flying in for this event. It is going to be fantastic. I'm soooo excited!   ( March 2, 2009 @ 11:39 pm )

Donette — How sweet are these pics! It's so springy and lots of fun! Your kids just keep getting cuter by the day! We need to get together with you guys!   ( March 5, 2009 @ 12:26 pm )
