All professional photography and portrait viewing will take place at St. Clare Church with NO sitting fee. Your photography session will take about an hour, during which time you will check-in, be photographed, see your proofs, and have the opportunity to purchase extra portraits for family and friends. You are under no obligation to purchase photos.
A photo directory is a powerful tool in our parish to help each of us know each other better. Our last directory is now outdated and it is time for a new one.
Every family photographed for the directory will receive a
COMPLIMENTARY DIRECTORY AND AN 8X10 PORTRAIT.
IT WON’T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOU!
So please, schedule your appointment today!
THERE ARE LESS THAN 40 JUNE DATES AVAILABLE!
