Santa Cruz Photographer has created 10 smiles

By portia on December 3, 2013

Photographer can actually create smiles, not by saying “cheese”.

One of the rewards of being a professional photographer is to help bring families together, to create great memories to cherish forever, and to change lives! As I wrapped up Family Portrait Month in association with PPA charities this year, I was a little surprised to find out that I have donated enough through the 7 years in business to pay for 10 surgeries! That means 10 kids somewhere have their smiles restored to them, their mothers and family are happy, and they have a chance to live a normal life. Even though I have never met these children in person, I feel gratified to know that I am able to change their lives for the better. For only $240 per surgery, the doctors and volunteers of Operation Smile have been creating smiles since. My studio is an Operation Smiles studio in 2013, I thank you for making it possible. If you were one of the clients who came to me in Oct-Nov, your contribution made a difference!
