Family Portrait Month

In my work as a photographer, I've noticed that the easiest way to get someone to smile at me is to smile at them. It's amazing what a simple smile can do. Victor Borge said, "The shortest distance between two people is a smile." That's why Sweet Life Photography is very excited to join an elite group of photographers who are working together with the Professional Photographers of America Charities in promoting "Family Portrait Month." This national fund-raising effort will benefit Operation Smile, which treats children who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. For every session we schedule during the month of October, we will donate $50 to Operation Smile. Plus, we will donate a portion of all our sales during the month of October to Operation Smile.

Each year, this incredible organization of more than 5,000 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. It costs only $240 to perform a life-changing cleft-lip operation. More than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity each year in Operation Smile's 25 partner countries, including India, Cambodia, Russia, Nicaragua and Kenya. We hope you will join us in making this vital work possible!

October is shaping up to be an insanely busy month for me, so I am extending our participation in Family Portrait Month into November. Don't forget that the holiday season is right around the corner, so there's no better time for a family portrait!
