Supporting the Community
September 25th, 2008 by Amy
For all those orders placed so far this year, the community thanks you. Here’s what we’ve been doing with some of our hard-earned income…
* We supported Kendall Elementary. We bought a $100 ad space in their PTO student directory.
* We supported Fabra Elementary. We bought a $100 ad space in their PTO student directory and donated $250 to their upcoming hay maze fundraiser.
* We’re supporting Curington Elementary. We bought a $200 ad space in their PTO student directory, donated $330 to their upcoming Walk-a-Thon event/fundraiser, and we will be donating a few hours of photography time and hundreds of digital files from that Walk-a-Thon.
* And we’re supporting Ben’s soccer team in the Boerne Soccer Club. Nathan volunteered to be the coach, and I signed up to be a sponsor. Thanks to our $250 donation, we helped purchase their jerseys.
Thank you for supporting so that we can give back to these local schools and organizations!
*Accompanying portrait is “Lovely” (a favorite from Abby’s session).
Curington’s 8th annual Walk-a-Thon is coming up, and we’re looking for sponsors to help us raise money for our PTO…
Okay, so Alice has already written about Heather Bohman’s book club and Laura Serratos’ new preschool. And in the past I’ve let you in on MOPS, the Hill Country Women in Business, and Marli Carollo who runs a PartyLite business, among other clients and friends who are doing things in our community. So why not keep spreading the word?
We hear it every day on the news- rising grocery costs, soaring gas prices, suffering economy. Time are tough. And we as small business owners, we’re struggling to get through what we hope is just a short rough patch.
We wanted to extend a big “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” to one of our Watch Me Grow portrait club members- Robert Carollo. Robert celebrates his third birthday tomorrow, and we hope he has a wonderful day filled with lots of fun and laughter! Happy birthday, Robert!
We wanted to extend a big welcome to our newest Their First Year portrait club member- Connor Chandler. Connor was born on August 1st at _ in San Antonio. He weighed in at 6 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. He is welcomed by his father Patrick, his mother Karen, and many friends and family.We cannot wait to see this little guy grow up in front of the camera!

What a fun morning! We got up, got dressed, and headed to the parade line-up on Main Street. We decorated for a good hour and then proceeded to work the crowds. The theme was backyard bbq. So on the trailer was our picnic table, our big umbrella, a picnic basket, ice chests, and Nathan standing at the grill. The kids riding on the trailer threw out candy while Myk, Alice, and I walked alongside to hand out cascarones, pamphlets, and t-shirts. It was hot, we got tuckered out, but it was a blast. And Cheesy Jane’s for lunch was just perfect for the tired crew.
I’m always finding cool things on the internet. Here’s another- 


I want to tell you about a new preschool in Boerne I heard about recently that may be just what some of you parents of preschoolers are looking for. When my three oldest daughters were preschoolers in the community we lived in most preschools were small businesses run in the homes of the preschool teachers. The advantages over the bigger programs were smaller classes, lower cost and a familiar environment.
