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 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!

RWP has a brand new, sleek site now, coupled with an even better splash page.

I’ve been wanting a new splash page for months now, something me, something different, but couldn’t figure out what I wanted (not to mention I’m not nearly that talented in designing things like this), but it finally all came together!

You’ll have to visit the site to see the new look, but here’s an idea of how awesome it is– the new splash page, designed by my ever so talented and generous friend, Anja (thanks soooooo much, Anja, I absolutely LOVE it!!!):

Though, to get the full effect you really MUST see it large. Just click on the image to be taken there!

In other very exciting news, I am glaucoma free. Not to say I ever had it, I haven’t. But found out today that I don’t, so something to celebrate!

More at six and ten.

We’ve just launched some new specials for the upcoming weeks.  Be sure to check them out here!

We’re gearing up for the holiday season as well.  So keep an eye (or two) out for holiday promotionals as well as new holiday card designs!  But that’s not all… we’ll also be offering special mini sessions for families who just need to have a photo or two made for holiday greeting cards.  Check back soon for availability and pricing!

We’ve got a few other things up our sleeve but they’re top secret at the moment.

I know I just launched the new web site, but I have decided to change it up a bit. Still have many things to add, but it’s live and it looks pretty spiffy! Please check it out and I’d love to hear what you think! The site is now split into two seperate sections– portraiture and fine art. Lots of great things to see and a few new features. Be sure to check back often as I’ll be adding a lot of new content in the coming weeks!

RWP’s new look!

Also, the RWP Myspace has gotten a face lift. All of the sites, blogs and now ms have a reoccurring theme. Spiffy! Check us out and be sure to add us. Actually, adding the account to your friends is the only way to see the great new stuff!

Cheers,

R

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.
