We’re BACK from a fabulous Disney vacation at sea celebrating our precious boy turning SIX!!! Fabulous except for the Birthday Boy came down with a stomach bug on his big day…and the sister ran a fever for over half of the trip…and then she had the bug on the drive home. Ah, the memories we created! 😉
It really was a fun trip and I can’t wait to share it with you soon, but now I have something MUCH more important to share…the next $100 Portrait Project!!! And we don’t have long to promote it, Folks! You all know our favorite restaurant in Florence, right? The Drive In? They’re famous for their sweet tea, but Collin and I can’t get enough of the diet cherry coke, or anything else that they serve us for that matter! Well, the Drive In has graciously offered to open their doors to us for the very first Portrait Project event of 2010. It will be held Tuesday, February 2nd from 6 until 8 in the evening. So come on out and have some fabulous Greek food, or a cheeseburger, or maybe a fried chicken sandwich…Mmmmm. AND have a portrait created. AND help donate to The Children’s Miracle Network. Here’s a run-down of the project for those of you who aren’t familiar with it. For $100 Collin will photograph you (or your kids or family or whoever) and will give you the FULL RESOLUTION digital image of what we feel is the BEST portrait from your session. With that digital image you may do pretty much anything. Have a wall portrait created, use it on birth announcements, greeting cards or Christmas cards,create small prints for family or friends, use it on a blog or facebook…whatever you want! But here’s the really great part. At least HALF of all money brought in will be donated to The Children’s Miracle Network! So far, the studio has donated almost $5000 to The Children’s Miracle Network. And we really want that number to grow. Helping an organization that helps sick children is VERY important to us as a family and as a studio. We are excited about starting the second year of this project! So, call us and make an appointment to come see us. We will have Angel wings and tutus available (perfect for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?). We could also photograph you and your spouse…or your family…or a group of friends. The options are never-ending! Call 665-4646 to set up your appointment or email Collin at collin@cmsmithportraits.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
*Okay, so after writing this Collin and I were catching up on the news we missed this week. And we were overwhelmed with grief for Haiti. We want to help, but really are at a loss for how. However, we know that we can do this…For this event at The Drive In, we will donate half to The Children’s Miracle Network like always, and the other half will go to help relief efforts in Haiti. We do not have a specific charity in mind yet, however if you have suggestions, please let us know in a comment on the blog. Thanks in advance, Y’all! And please make your appointment for a portrait! We want this to be huge!!*

Here are some images from our last event…
And here are a few Angel Babies…because I think they are PERFECT for Valentine’s Day! And I just had another thought…personalized Valentine’s Cards with these images!!! How CUTE would that be?!?! You provide the precious babes, we will provide the wings and tutus!
SO GREAT what you’re doing!
oh, and my suggestion is Compassion International…i’ve heard they are putting together something very exciting to support the work there.
