Angels of Hope

In conjunction with our studio charity, Women of Hope, we will be producing an annual calendar as a fund raiser. Proceeds from the sale of the calendar and the voting process to select the angels for the calendar will be donated to Women of Hope. If you haven't heard about Women of Hope, please go to the Women of Hope website for more information on the services and resources we want to make available to women experiencing cancer and those who are on the other side of their cancer treatment.

We will be photographing children for the calendar July 30 - 31 and August 13 - 14. If you would like to participate, call (910) 392-4214 to schedule a portrait session. We ask that you consider making a donation of at least $50 to Women of Hope in lieu of our studio session fee. Girls and boys from newborn to 3 years old are eligible to participate. They will be dressed as little angels in costumes we provide.

The calendar will be sold for $12.99, with $2 from each sale going to Women of Hope. The voting process to select the angels for the 2011 calendar will be $1 per vote. You can vote as many times as you like. All the money received from the voting process goes directly to Women of Hope.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 this year for Women of Hope. It's a challenging goal, but with your help, we can do it! There are several ways you can help.

1. Have your child photographed and solicit votes from your family and friends to have your child included in the 2011 calendar. Call the studio at (910) 392-4214 to schedule a portrait session.

2. Go online during the months of September and October to vote for your favorite angel. You don't have to have a child in the voting process to participate.

4. Order the 2011 calendar. Consider purchasing additional calendars for people on your holiday gift list.

5. Make a financial contribution of any amount to Women of Hope. You can make a contribution online with your credit card or Paypal by going to the Women of Hope website or you can mail a check to:
