Back 2 School is Back 2 Cool




It's August and we still have about 5 or 6 weeks before school starts. But let's be serious, we are all thinking about that first day of school. Some of us are dreading that day (the kids more than the moms) and some of us are silently (or not so silently) looking forward to that day.

One of the great traditions of each school year is the school portrait. Every year, we get our kids dressed in their best and send them off to have their image captured as one more year in their lives moves forward. Sometimes we are happy with the result and sometimes not. I find that, (okay....I'm a professional, I do this for a living, I've taken lots of classes, workshops, etc) I'm usually okay with what comes home. But what I always think in the back of my head is...this is a nice picture of my son, but it certainly doesn't reflect who he is as a person. That type of image is not what you get with the traditional school portrait.

To capture that essence of who your children are really needs a portrait experience. Time spent with your children, getting to know them, having fun with them, letting them be a little silly, letting them play and run around (cause that's what kids are about).

This year, we are all talking about the school budgets (most of which have been cut). Those of you booking a portrait experience by September 30th, Gail Cushing Photography will donate $25 of your creative fee to your local PTA. And one lucky mom from the school where the most sessions were booked will receive a really cool, custom-designed Back 2 School calendar. So hurry, call 908-868-8023 to book your children's portrait experience and help keep our schools as fabulous as they have always been!

Keep Cool!
Gail
