Details
Michelle Smith is a professional photographer who has volunteered her time to ARROAutism in a variety of ways, including taking and developing the photos for our Sean’s Run Apparel collection, development of our Sean’s Run from Autism 2012 Posters, and photos of the goings on at Sean’s Run 2012.
Now we’d like to say thanks to her, and help you access her expertise, by giving you an opportunity to schedule an individual or family photo shoot in the familiar environment of the ARROAutism Westside Family and Community Center.
We hope this will be more affordable, and accessible, than a private photo shoot in your home, and without the stress of someone coming into the house and changing the environment there, or of going to a new and strange place.
So, if you’ve been waiting for a time to get photos taken, we hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity on May 19th.
To schedule your time for a photo shoot, please visit the site Michelle Smith has created for this special event : http://michelle.bookmonline.com/schedules/ARRO
