Survey Says...Free Gift for your Opinion!

We would like to invite you to participate in a quick survey to determine your interest in a new product line we are considering ... simple, fun and affordable portraits with quick sessions for the busy family.

When we sent this survey to about 800 people just this week, were we ever surprised at the excellent response and, more importantly, the detailed answers we received. Thanks to all who have responded so far, we have learned a LOT about what people want (and don't want) in their portrait photography!

We read descriptions of their good & bad portrait experiences and even suggestions for future promotions...so if you would like to be heard, we are listening!

Now, we have earned our reputation by offering the finest portraits available with a multi-faceted portrait experience. This includes a portrait design consultation, a session with multiple settings/clothing changes/groupings of subjects and a multi-media presentation of the images on a large projection screen. When we are creating wall portraits and custom designer portraits for our clients home decor, we have found that each element of this process is what they expect to give them the most choices and achieve the best results.

This style of photography will continue to be what "defines" Anne Grant Photography.

One thing that we picked up on from the survey is how much people LOVE the portraits we have done for them! So please note that this concept is in addition to the extensive, detailed service we have always offered.  Thank you for your encouragement..we are feeling the love!
(We know you are busy, but we value your opinion, so we will give you FREE gift from us if you take just a few minutes to complete this survey!)

We LOVE Ice Cream at CARVEL!

It has been so... HOT this week that we decided to go for some delicious ice cream at Carvel in Winston. If you haven't been there before, they are located on Hanes Mall Blvd next to Moe's Southwest Grill.
While we were there we even put up a new display of portraits showing people having fun eating ice cream. It is so cute... you have just have to run out this weekend and see it. (and get some ice cream too.)

We will be continually changing this display, so if you are interested in being a ice cream model be sure to let us know. Brian and Anita Sondey (pictured here) are the owners and we even got them to come in and model.
What is better than having your portrait taken at Anne Grant Photography? Having your portrait made AND eating ice cream at the same time.

"No Limits" Formal Dance

Recently, we had the pleasure of being a part of the No Limits II Formal Dance. We photographed over 500 special people. We had four stations set up to help in speeding the process along so the guests could go and enjoy their fun filled night. Our Anne Grant Team was there along with two other professional photographers from the North Carolina area. We had such a wonderful time!

In December of 2002, No Limits II was started at Sunrise United Methodist Church in Lewisville. No Limits II is a monthly social opportunity for mentally and physically challenged adults (18 years or older) where they can come and enjoy a night of dancing and socializing. On the second Friday night of each month, the family life center is transformed into a dance club complete with a DJ, dancing, refreshments, door prizes and bingo. The party starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. When they began in 2002, they had about 25 people in attendance. Over the years, they have continued to grow…..and now they have anywhere from 400 to 500 in attendance each month. They outgrew the Sunrise facility in 2005 and therefore had to look for a new home to continue their dances. Over the summer of 2005, they held dances at the West Forsyth YMCA. In August of 2005, Pinedale Christian Church (at 3395 Peters Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem) graciously extended their facility and volunteer support to No Limits II.

No Limits II is a great opportunity for some very special people to have a wonderful night socializing together. The monthly dance is currently sponsored by Pinedale Christian Church, Sunrise United Methodist Church, Piedmont Down Syndrome Support Network, personal donations and several other local contributors. As the attendance has continued to grow over the years, so have their needs. In addition to the 25 to 30 volunteers that are needed each month, the financial needs have grown as well. On average, it costs approximately $500-$600 per month to provide everything that is needed to make a No Limits II dance happen. Information is mailed out quarterly and themed dances are planned throughout the year. People travel from as far away as Statesville, Elkin, High Point, Greensboro and Lexington to be a part of No Limits II. It is a very special way to bring a lot of happiness to people each month. Some people come to dance, some people come to eat, and some people come to just socialize and play bingo. It is free to all guests and is a night that no one wants to miss!!!
