by Catie O'Keefe via NEohioPAL 07 May '17

07 May '17

My day job is running a local chapter of a national non-profit but in my spare time I take portraits, head-shots, unique family and engagement (or pregnancy) photos. I'm raising extra money to benefit my organization and this is one of the ways I'm helping to raise some funds; and it is a limited time offer, so if you're interested, visit the site and contact me ASAP. https://theportraitprojectsite.wordpress.com/ Sessions are $125 each. This equals one hour of shooting time in a unique location (indoors or out) and 5 high res digital images to keep (after editing). Each $125 will be donated to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation NE Ohio Chapter and matched with another $125. This is a fundraising project to help raise funds for a 501 (c) 3 organization and this special pricing may end at any time. *If you need new head shots, publicity photos, have a life event, want to get those holiday card pictures done now (while it's sunny and bright outside) this is a perfect (and cheap option) with lots of benefits. * Thanks for looking, Catie O'Keefe
