Anne's Angels & A Child's Prayer

All children are angels. nothing compares to the vision of a child kneeling to give thanks for the day or sharing a quiet story with a sibling.
This scene is all white. Bring your white gowns, slips, pajamas or shirts to emphasize the purity of childlike faith.

Don’t Miss Your Family Portrait Month Opportunity

This fall, Anne Grant ~ The Village Photographer, will participate with an elite group of photographers around the country in a very special family portrait promotion. In September and October, we will celebrate our 5th Annual “Family Portrait Month.” This is a fantastic opportunity for you to update your family portrait with no session fees and special bonus gifts (see below), and at the same time, help to 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 all donated session fees from the “Family Portrait Month” promotion to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner. 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. More than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity each year in Operation Smile’s 23 mission countries. Thanks to the medical volunteers, it costs only $240 to perform a life-changing operation. Last year, PPA donated over $52,000 to Operation Smile...that’s a lot of smiles! 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 special 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 Christmas and holiday greeting cards.As always . . . we look forward to creating some truly wonderful portraits of your family.
For this event, we will have evening appointments available on a limited basis and even
TWO SATURDAYS, September 26 and October 17.
