Christmas Charity Fundraiser by BluOrchid Photographer ~ Marion AR Children's Photographer

I talked a bit in the last post about how greatly appreciative Families in Transition was with our Halloween fundraiser so we decided to have some fun at Christmas time as well and came up with a great way to provide Families in Transition with much needed clothing and food items! All of the details are in the flyer below....call me with any questions (901.832.4111).


So many of us have so much to be thankful for in this holiday season (and year round for that matter). Let's give to those who are not as fortunate.

Halloween Charity Event Results! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Child Photographer

Well, the results are in! We had a great time with our Halloween charity event and had over 500 items donated to Families in Transition! We photographed over 50 children and look forward to seeing you all again next year! The Families in Transition was very happy to receive the donations so we decided to have another charity event for Christmas time!!!

We will be hosting a "Cutest Elf Contest" December 12th from 10am-5pm. We will provide the elf/santa/reindeer hats. All you have to do is bring your little one and one or more clothing items to enter your child into the contest. All participants will be on the blog and you and your friends and family will have one week to vote for the cutest child! The winner will receive an awesome portrait session with BluOrchid Photography and a complimentary 8x10 from that session!

If you are interested in having a complimentary 5x7 of your child from the contest, just bring in 3 or more canned/non-parishable food items and we will provide the free picture!

There is no appointment needed for the Elf Photos....just drop in anytime from 10am-5pm to participate! Candy canes and hot chocolate will be provided! Please tell all of your friends and family so that we can help make Christmas a little brighter for these families in need!

Well, I would love to show you some of the fun we had at the Halloween event. I have all of the photos that we got of the children and then some of our fun candids with photos of all the food/clothes that got donated! Thanks so much to everyone that participated! We could not have done it without your help!

Tayton's 3 year old session! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion AR Photographer

This is Mr. Tayton...he is the cousin of Mr. Carter (below). Their grandmother, Lisa, is a photograph fanatic (I know this for certain, I have seen the montages all over her house). She wanted something special for Tayton as well. So, we decided to have a session just for him. He was a bit sleepy when they first got here so it took him just a bit to warm up to me. He thought it was hilarious when David would whack me in the head with this stuffed animal duck we have! That got some great smiles from him. Also, his father is from Mexico and LOVES soccer. Somehow or another Ms. Lisa got him an authentic soccer uniform, so we did that shot as a special Christmas surprise for his parents. Don't worry, they had their Christmas today, so I know it's safe to post it! Anyhow, he was such a handsome guy with amazing brown eyes. See for yourself....
