(listing a post here to use in another post about our fundraisers reports-sorry for the 'old' news)
My 9 year old daughter came up with this fundraiser idea for our family adoption funds. My daughter, Quinn, has two precious little rabbits that she cares for. One is a big white fella and the other is a tan dwarf rabbit named Cinnamon. Quinn had the idea to do a photo shoot over Easter time and to use Cinnamon in the photos. It just happened to be that two friends of mine are very talented and professional on-site photographers. I asked them if they would be willing to do a shoot for us for a fundraiser and they both generously donated their time and talents to this day!
We advertised on our face book and by word of mouth to have a total of 15 people for an all day shoot on a Saturday. The kids and I cleared our dinning room out and made a set-up for the photos. That is our best location for natural lighting coming in from the French doors. One photographer friend took the morning with 15 minute intervals of guests, then my other friend took the afternoon session with 15 minute intervals too. It was such a nice day to be able to talk to the families that came bringing their sweet children. People asked questions about our adoption and we were encouraged by their interest in learning about orphan care and international adoption.
The costs were $30 for the session and for 3 professionally edited photos that were then e-mailed to the participants with a copyright release. The families could then get the photos printed off at their choice of locations. We were able to total $450.00 towards our adoption funds! What a blessing and a lovely time!
