Last year we had everyone email their photos to Michael Baxely and he sent them into Mpix for printing and framing, once received they were delivered to the family's. This provided them with a nice framed print that hopefully will last longer than just sending them out the door with a print in hand. We had several people donate the money to make the purchase.

It would really be nice to have someone coordinate the collection of funds to purchase the prints no matter what method is used.

that seems like a great idea, we definitely need to work the logistics of it all though.

I can take care of the funds.

Justin, I am glad to hear you know how to take care of the funds for prints. Will this be possible for both Little Rock events??

It depends on how much money is needed. How many families are we talking about for this year's events (individually and combined.)

I'm not sure how many people Charlie and Grant are expecting. As far as downtown goes, we are expecting around 250 people. But I am not sure of those, how many are families. I am hoping to find out those details in the next two weeks. we are going to be needing roughly between 5-10 photographers downtown because we only have a 9a-2p window at this venue.

I'll definitely be there to photograph and I have some gear as well. I have a friend that works at Bedford's too, I'll talk to him about getting some lights and seamless so if we have photographers who want to shoot but don't have all the studio gear they need maybe we can rent some at low or no cost.

Let me know when you have a rough estimate of how many families you'll be working with at the downtown shoot. Once I know that, we should be able to work out a per-family cost and use that to estimate a total for needed funds to meet the printing and framing demand.
