The recent earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan has been tragic. So many people lost. Many more lost everything except the clothes on their backs. We have seen the photographs of people surrounded by rubble with little or no water, food, shelter or clean, warm clothes.We cannot imagine what they must be going through or how we would feel in their place.
Some, who can still find their homes, are shown sifting through muddy debris hoping to salvage what they can. Often they pull out a photograph...their family, a child, a parent, a spouse, even themselves in better times...and you can tell it means so much to them.
This left us wondering what our little studio in Fresno can do to help earthquake survivors in Japan. We have decided to donate a portion of each portrait session from now until at least the end of June 2011, to the Red Cross. We feel that through their efforts, worldwide, they may be in one of the best positions to help put resources where they are needed the most right now.
Why did we selected June as a target date? We wanted to make it soon enough to do some immediate good. Yet, we wanted to make it far enough down the road to allow time for people to make arrangements and be able to get on the studio schedule. We also felt that with so many of our Class of 2011 Seniors graduating and anticipating leaving for college, the service, etc., that families would be especially interested in doing portraits before their graduates start preparing to leave home.
So, if you have been thinking of scheduling any kind of portrait session, now is a great time to call the studio. You can get portraits that are important to you, and the studio can join you in doing something good for the survivors in Japan. Together, maybe we can lift just a bit of weight off their shoulders. To schedule your session just as soon as possible, call the studio today at 559-221-1303. Together, we look forward to creating some "memory insurance" for you, and helping the survivors in Japan as well. Help now. Call today.
