Representing West Forsyth HS Class of 2012...Danielle!

Our first Spokes Model, Danielle is a rising senior at West Forsyth and is SO excited about representing Anne Grant Photography to her Senior Class!
She brought a great look to the studio for her Spokes Model "test photos" (new for 2012 SpokesModels). With the simple design and color of her clothing, it doesn't distract from her at all. Also as I was looking closer at her images, her make-up application was just right. She looks natural, but she applied enough to bring out her best features.On that note, I have noticed a trend in heavier, thicker eyeliner which looks great for an exotic high fashion look, but sometimes if it is too heavy is can actually cause the appearence of slight distortion in the eyes in a portrait.  When you come for senior portraits, just be yourself...at your best!
We are still taking applications for Spokes Models, so it's not too late!

Sally's Angels...Meet Sally at Hip Chics on March 12!

Our next client story is one of those that comes from a difficult time that blossomed into an organization to help others in a similar situations.
Our "Baby's First Year" program is designed to show distinct developmental stages in portraits.Since Sally spent the the better part of her first couple of years of life in a hospital, we extended her Baby Plan to create a portrait history of those important milestones, no matter when they happened. This is not unusual for our babies with special needs.
What was unusual is that out of those struggles that the whole family went through with Sally's medical problems, they wanted to give back to others in appreciation for those who helped them so much ...so "Sally's Angels" became a reality.
As quoted in this month's Forsyth Family Magazine:
"Sally's Angels is a wonderful charity that was formed in 2006 in response to the need a group of women observed when Sally was born and spent most of her first year in the hospital. Seeing the needs of parents who have a sick child and the financial challenges they face, they founded Sally’s Angels. The charity has dedicated its mission to helping families with critically and chronically ill children through their journey.
Since their first year, they have raised and contributed over $100,000,with funds going to support families of children at Brenner Children’s Hospital, Forsyth Medical Center, the Ronald McDonald House of W-S and other local organizations."
Now that Sally is 6 yrs old, she one "hip chick", but tomorrow she will make an appearance at the Sally's Angels fundraiser that is being held in conjunction with Hip Chics 4th birthday celebration. There will be a live radio show with Truth Talk Live Station and even free pizza from Donato's Pizza! There are many more fun activities planned, but the best part is that during this event,  for every $50 spent, $5 will go directly to Sally’s Angels. If you spend $100, then $10 will go to the charity. Each donation will be written on pink Angel Wings to be displayed around the store! We are proud to support Sally's Angels and now, tomorrow, it will be even more fun! See you at Hip Chics in Clemmons!
