Pring Photography Blog

On April 21, Pring Photography will participate with an elite group of photographers around the country in a very special portrait promotion. On that day, we will be providing a wonderful opportunity for you to update portraits of yourself and any family member you wish (Babies 3 months and older, children, teens, and adults of all ages). In doing so, you will help support Operation Smile, which provides free surgeries for children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

Along with other member of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), I am offering the gift of a mini individual portrait session and a  5×7 desk-size portrait (or Facebook image) in exchange for a $24 donation to PPA Charities, which has chosen Operation Smile as its charitable partner.

For every 10 individuals I photograph, another child will receive the gift of surgery! It costs as little as $240 for Operation Smile’s medical volunteers to provide a life-changing surgery that can take as little as 45 minutes. One hundred percent of each donation will go to Operation Smile.

For these mini sessions, I will be offering fun, fresh, expressive, headshots with a simple white background. Sessions are for individual portraits. (In other words, this isn’t the session to update a family portrait. However, you could have each family member photographed in their own mini session and create a fun wall grouping.)

Your mini session will last about 10 minutes. But, don’t worry, I am able to capture quite a few images in that short time so you’ll have plenty of choices. The image you select will be fully retouched and your finished print can be  in color or black and white. For your convenience, your images will be displayed online on a personal web page and you can simply call in your order. Specially priced package will be available for this promotion.

Here are a few sample images  to give you an idea of what you can expect.  

I hope you will join with us in helping to make this vital work possible, and I look forward to creating a portrait you will treasure.

To schedule your session appointment, please call me today at (303) 494-4723.

I love animals…especially cats! That’s why I so  enjoy my new role as a volunteer photographer for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. My daughters and I volunteer as part of their Pets and Pals program and we work as a team to create the images.

The Pets and Pals Program is a great way to volunteer with your children who are at least seven years old. There are a variety of ways to help out including walking dogs and playing with the cats and kittens. Some days we walk and photograph dogs. But most of the time, we can be found photographing cats.  

Humane Societies have found that posting attractive photos of shelter animals brings in more people to adopt these wonderful pets. And the positive interaction with volunteers can make all the difference in whether a cat thrives and survives their shelter experience. Even as a cat lover myself, I was surprised to discover how dependent these beautiful creatures are on human love and attention.

There are several volunteer photographers at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, but it is still a challenge to provide a “glamour shot” for every animal. If you are a photographer and are interested in volunteering your talents or would like more information about the Pets and Pals program or any volunteer position at HSBV, visit  www.boulderhumane.org . Training is required and offered for free for volunteer positions.

I am sure you will find the experience very rewarding!
