Celebrating Adoption!

October 13th, 2007 by admin

We’re very excited to announce that we’ve joined a fabulous organization, Celebrating Adoption. Here’s more about it from the web site and the founder, Jenifer Samaha.

ca sincerely

‘CA is an organization of photographers dedicated to promoting adoption. Our participating photographers are very different: some shoot with natural light while others use studio light; some prefer posing the subject while others prefer the spontaneity of lifestyle photography; but we all have one thing in common, the desire to celebrate your adoption with you!

What is a Celebrating Adoption session?

If you are an adoptive family and have adopted your child within the last year, you qualify for a Celebrating Adoption session.

You will receive a complimentary portrait session (session fee is waived) and a set of proofs.

***Our volunteers give 100% of their time, talent and goods to do this work. Please do not abuse the organization by scheduling more than one photographer per child or adoption.

How do I schedule a session?

Please contact a participating photographer in your area to discuss scheduling and locations. Each photographer schedules his or her own portrait sessions. Because of the free nature of these sessions, many photographers will need to limit their Celebrating Adoption sessions per month, so call early to plan for your session.’

Due to RWP schedule we can only offer a limited number of sessions. However, we will work to accommodate you whenever possible. If you’d like to schedule a session with us, just drop us a line or give us a call. Also, to learn more about the organization, please visit the web site by clicking the CA image below.

Also, don’t forget we’re also a member of Operation: Love Reunited. You can read more about that fantastic organization here.

It’s such an honor for us to be a member of these organizations. If you’re not in our area, be sure to check out each of the orgs’ web sites to find a participating photographer in your area!

Operation: Love Reunited

April 30th, 2007 by admin

RWP is proud to announce that we have recently joined the fabulous organization, OpLove. Operation: Love Reunited is an effort that joins families of deployed or deploying military members with local photographers. It involves two sessions, if you will. The first, with the pre-deployment soldier or an already deployed military member’s family and the second, at the reunion, once our heroes return home. Sessions are provided complimentary and an album of photos from the session will be sent to the deployed soldier.

Please note that this offer is only extended to members of the US military who have deployment orders or have already been deployed. However, RWP offers discounts to active members of the military anytime– to say thanks for all that you do.

If you would like more information about OpLove or you know someone who would benefit from this service, please check out the OpLove web site (link above) or contact me directly. We are proud to have the opportunity to give back to those who give so much.
