family portrait month – you can help!

DON’T MISS OUR SPECIAL “FAMILY PORTRAIT MONTH” PROMOTION!

Recording the faces of children and their families is such a pleasure.  That’s why I believe so strongly in the work of Operation Smile.  Each year this incredible organization of more than 6,000 volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and specialized health care professionals, perform free reconstructive surgeries for children suffering with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.  (More than 100,000 children are born with facial deformity each year in Operation Smile’s 26 partner countries.)

This October I am participating in a very special family portrait promotion.  Throughout the month we will celebrate “FAMILY PORTRAIT MONTH,” a wonderful opportunity for you to update your family portrait and help to support OPERATION SMILE.

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 needy children.

I 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 a gift for family and friends and to send along with holiday greeting cards.

As always, I look forward to creating some truly wonderful portraits for your family!

SCHEDULE YOUR FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSION IN OCTOBER AND 100% OF YOUR SESSION FEE WILL BE DONATED TO OPERATION SMILE!

AMY WILL DONATE 100% OF HER SESSION FEE EARNINGS TO OPERATION SMILE DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER!

The Ecotrust Building is throwing a little soiree you should know about, especially if you’re looking for a place to have your wedding or reception.  It’s a killer urban spot ~ right in the heart of the Pearl with ample opportunity for great photos within just a few blocks.  This is NOT your typical “ballroom” or golf course with corporate food and iddy-biddy personality.  Their vintage warehouses beam with modern sophistication, with the perfect setting for an effortlessly chic ceremony and/or smashing reception.

On May 9th they’re throwing a little event so they can show off a bit, and if you’re jonesin’ for a cupcake, (like I always am), Lisa from Cupcake Jones will be there and you can sample some of her confections for a less-than-ordinary spin on regular old wedding cake.

Here’s the lowdown on the event:

Join us for sampling sweet treats and jazzy punch from our fabulous caterers, as well as the opportunity to take home your favorite punch recipe.

My friends Lisa and Peter at Cupcake Jones invited me to come down for the PEARL BUNNY HOP this weekend and shoot some photos of the kids who come in for Easter treats.  It was so much fun!  If you have not yet had a the CUPCAKE JONES experience, you can find them on 10th & Everett.  They even has cupcakes for your pup!  And by the way… they do wedding cupcakes!

Introducing Amy Vining Photography!

I’m so excited that the day has finally come!  We’ve changed our company name to Amy Vining Photography ~ why?  Well, since we no longer offer videography for weddings, the name honestly didn’t make sense anymore… and I finally decided to make the leap.  With the help of graphic arts DIVA, Shelly Davidson, (more on her fabulousness later…) I made the leap with a fun new logo and am working on rebranding all my business cards, postcards, website, blog, etc., etc.  Needless to say I’ve had many late nights this week!  Who knew it would be so hard to change my company name???!  It’s the last time I’ll ever do it!!!

Coming up will be updated pricing and new packages for portraits and 2010 weddings.  There will be an all-new product line including birth announcements, graduation announcements, save-the-date cards, canvas prints, storyboards, and more!  It’s the next big project so stay tuned for that one.

Make sure to sign up for blog updates, above!  And be sure to leave some comments below and tell me what you think of my new logo!  I’m so excited about it!
