Free Family Portrait Sessions on a SUNDAY ???

First, for those of you who know us well and how important family time is to us, you know we are making a HUGE sacrifice to give up a Sunday afternoon to do portrait sessions! But seriously, we want to give the honor due to those who have truly sacrificed for our community.
On October 7, Officer Danny Clark and Sgt. Mickey Hutchens were both shot in the line of duty. As they were protecting our community from a dangerous gunman, we must consider how much harm could have been caused had they not stepped in with their dedication to Protect and Serve. Both received serious injuries as a result of the shooting and Officer Hutchens gave the ultimate sacrifice when he passed away on October 12. When Sgt. Hutchens was laid to rest later that week, we saw the most incredible demonstration of respect and honor from the Triad and beyond.
We want to show our appreciation to their families with an “Honor Our Heroes Benefit.” Like most of you, we feel that there is little we can do individually to make a difference. However, we can offer the talents and time that we have been blessed with and you can join us by scheduling a Family Portrait Session for our “Honor Our Heroes Benefit” on November 8 or November 9. What better way to remember these families than to celebrate YOUR family and preserve those memories for a lifetime in a beautiful portrait.
For this event, there is NO SESSION FEE, but we are requesting a $25 donation to the funds that will assist the families of these brave officers. In addition, we will donate 15% of your portrait order to this fund.
On these two days, we will also have refreshments so you can relax and visit with us or your friends for a while. We may even have a police car or two for your children to tour with the friendly police officers who will also be visiting with us those days (this has to be approved by the WSPD first.)
In order to give you our undivided attention, the sessions are by appointment only. You will want to call 336.766.8367 to reserve your session time SOON so you can come at your preferred time.
