family casting call


I am looking for families to model for me for family portraits to be used in my marketing for Family Portrait Month. October is Family Portrait Month, during which time participating photographers, such as yours truly, pledge to donate a portion of their session fee to Operating Smile. This is part of a nationwide PPA program, which nets a tidy sum for children who have congenital facial abnormalities. You can read more about it here.

In order to promote my participation in this worthwhile program, I need some marketing materials. For this, I need some images of families, more than I have already. And I am talking about all types of families, traditional and not so much. What's in it for my family models? We will do the session of their choice and I will waive my session fee, plus they will receive two 8x10s of their choice from the session. In return, they will sign a model release, allowing me to use images from their session in marketing materials, including but not limited to use on my web site and use in printed materials. Interested? E-mail me or post a comment with contact information. The thing is, we need to get the sessions done in the next several weeks, as I'd like to make a mailing at the beginning of September.

Here's an image from my first model family, taken this morning at Greenfield State Park.
