New venue - Gaithersburg, MD on December 10, 2011

Today I found out Family Services http://www.fs-inc.org/, in Gaithersburg, MD, would love to have us to help their families with a beautiful portrait. Family Services is over a century old. They have about 90 families, and they mainly serve children 0 - 5 yrs old. I personally would be thrilled to be able to give back to these children.

 

So, as this venue was confirmed today, I am looking for anybody and everybody to help out to make this day so special for these kids, that they will remember it for the rest of their lives!

Please help, if you can.

Hi Amber, that is great! What would you like to do?

I am currently "talking" to Penn Camera to see if they would like to donate the prints. Through my camera club, I have a couple of other photographers who would like to help and assist.

Hi Patricia,

I'm totally new to this, but I would love to help.  What do you need?  I have some photography experience but it's mostly nature, events, travel-related or candid shots of people and animals in mostly natural light.  I don't have a lot of studio experience.  I would be willing to help in just about any way you need.

Best,

Charissa

Hi Charissa,

Sorry for the late reply. We would love for you to join us!

If you can help with just helping out. I need to tally how many people we will actually be having.

Could you please head over to the Northern VA/Washington DC group - I posted there the same info. It will be easier to keep track of things if everybody is in one place.

Thanks!

Patricia

Wonderful!!

Do you mind, and also switch to posting in the Northern VA/Washington DC group. You will see my same post in there too. It will be easier to keep track of all discussions in one place.

Merci!
