I want to share with you a very special family portrait promotion that HNP is participating in along with an elite group of photographers from around the country. This October, we will celebrate “Family Portrait Month,” a wonderful opportunity for you to update your family portrait, and at the same time help support Operation Smile, which treats children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

Along with other studio members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), we have pledged to contribute $25 per family portrait session to PPA Charities.

What’s more, we want you to benefit from this special offer: If you make a donation of at least $10 towards Operation Smile you will receive a free 8×10 from your session.

Recording the faces of children and their families is our greatest pleasure. That’s why we believe so strongly in the work of Operation Smile. Each year this incredible organization of more than 5,000 volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and specialized health-care professionals, perform free reconstructive surgeries for children suffering with facial deformities. It costs only $240 to perform a life-changing cleft lip operation. More than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity each year in Operation Smile’s 25 partner countries.

We also believe that Family Portrait Month is a wonderful way to teach children the value of reaching out to others. Even small children can understand the importance of Operation Smile’s work, and they are eager to help these needy children.

We hope you will join with us in helping to make this vital work possible. Don’t forget that the holiday season is right around the corner, so there’s no better time for a family portrait, which is always appreciated as gifts for family and friends and to send along with holiday greeting cards.

Currently, HNP is only one of a handful or photographer’s in northwestern Pennsylvania participating in this event. If you are interested in a family portrait session and to help a child get their smile back, please make your appointment as soon as possible. The calendar is filling up already!

Here are some images that we captured last Friday at Kelly & John’s tropical themed wedding:

 

They had a really cool backdrop set up to take their guests portraits so we played a bit, too:

Thanks again for hiring us, we had a blast photographing your wedding!
