Toy Drive | Venus Texas Children Photographer

Every year we host our annual "Boo @ the Barn" photo event that is FREE to the community to come and take part in.  We pair this with giving back!   and it is always such a hit!  We typically kick off collecting Teddy Bears and/or new unwrapped toys on Halloween at Boo, but this year we are already kicking off our Toy Drive.   Starting October 1st you can begin bringing Teddy Bear's or a new unwrapped toy to donate to Cook Children's Hospital.   With your donation you will receive 1 complimentary high resolution digital image (with your session) or if you come to Boo @ the Barn and bring a Teddy Bear or new unwrapped toy you will receive a high resolution digital image of your little trick or treater.

Everyone who comes to Boo will see their child's photo posted on our facebook page with our studio logo on it and you will be able to share that image, all at no charge to you.  But, if you want a printable high resolution digital image of  your little trick or treater, bring along something to make a child Smile!   These cuddly Teddy Bears and Toys are great for Children that are in the hospital during the holiday season.

We will be collecting donations through Wednesday December 15, 2021 and then we will deliver all the items donated this season to Cook's the week of Christmas 2021.

So let's join together and make a child smile and a family smile!  Your generosity will indeed make a huge difference in someone's life!

Help us get the word out and remember any session (Couture kids, Mini Sessions, and our regular studio sessions) you can bring along a donation and get 1 complimentary high resolution digital image.

Thank you in advance for donations!  We are looking forward to a fabulous Fall & Christmas Season here at Specialty Photography!  We love capturing your family portraits!

See you soon!

Teddy Bears & Toys for Christmas {North Texas Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

It's that time of year when we are gearing up for the Fall & Christmas Season, and this year we wanted to include a little GIVING BACK into the mix of it all.    If you have a session scheduled between Now and December 15, 2013 (or you will be scheduling one)  you are welcome to participate in our Teddy Bear & Toy drive for Cook Children's Hospital.   To get involved all you have to do is bring a new Teddy Bear or unwrapped toy with you to your view & order appointment here at the studio to donate it.  You will in turn receive one of our 2014 Portrait Calendars; in digital format.  You can share your calendar on social media, email to friends & family and even print them for New Year gifts to your closest friends & family.    It's just our GIFT to YOU for being so awesome and joining us in the effort to gather lots of Teddy Bears & Toys to drop off to the hosiptal the week prior to Christmas.    It is just a great way that we can bring SMILES to the faces of children and warm a parents heart during a difficult time of facing a child's illness.

So help us get the word out.  Feel free to tweet & tag our post wherever you choose.  We would love to have lot's of awesome Teddy Bears & Toys to deliver :)



Oh!  Be sure and check out all the beautiful calendar choices you have to pick from below.

 



 

Have a blessed day!  and I will chat with you all soon.

5th Annual "Boo @ the Barn" {North Texas Children Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

This week I will be sharing some of our exciting FALL events that we have coming up here at Specialty Photography.  I LOVE Fall!  Love all the Holiday's, family times and of course all the awesome photo's that are taken this time of year.  Plus... the air get's cooler & the colors are always so breathtaking {nothing to do with my specials, but hey it's just some reasons I love FALL lol!}

Today I am thrilled to share with you about our 5th Annual "Boo @ the Barn" (truly can not believe we will be celebrating 5 years in business this coming January - whoohoo)  Our "Boo @ the Barn" has always been a way for us as a studio to give back to our community by having a fun night that is FREE to the community & always provides help to organizations that ultimately help those in need.   Last year we collected TEDDY BEARS that went to the Venus Fire Department as well as Cook Children's Hospital.  I had a blast delivering all those awesome bears to both places.  This year we have decided to do the same thing only this year we are going to be collecting Teddy Bears and/or New unwrapped toys.  When we dropped off the Teddy Bears last year to Cook Children's Hospital we were so blessed to see all the donations coming in for those families who had to spend Christmas in the Hospital; what a special gift that all those around brought Christmas to them.   How could we NOT be involved in that opportunity again.  It absolutely just touched my heart so much.  It seems like such a small thing to give a Teddy Bear or a New unwrapped toy, but oh the JOY it brings to a family and a child on Christmas Morning when they are away from home and all things that are normal to them and they are fighting an illness that many times seems bigger than life itself.

So, JOIN US at our 5th Annual "Boo @ the Barn" and bring with you a Teddy Bear and/or a New Unwrapped Toy to be given to Cook Children's Hospital just in time for Christmas 2013.  All who attend will receive a FREE 5x7 digital print of your little trick or treater; a little goodie bag & a $50 gift card to the studio that you can use towards your next photo session or print purchase at the studio.  This event is first come, first serve so you don't even have to make an appointment, simply dress up your little one and head on over.

Event Info:
Date:  Thursday October 31, 2013
Time:  4 - 8pm
Place:  Specialty Photography
165 N. Armstrong Rd.
Venus, Texas 76084

 



Feel free to share our fun event with friends & family.  We would love to have them join in the fun too.

If you have any questions at all feel free to call the studio at 972.877.4778 or email us at deanna@specialtyphotography.biz

See you there!
