Monday, May 12, 2-8:30pm

Did you miss our picture days? It’s not too late. Please don’t miss this opportunity to have your photo in our directory (and to receive a directory and a free 8 x 10 portrait). Our make-up day is Monday, May 12 from 2:00-8:30pm. Yes, that’s the day after Mother’s Day.

Then choose a time by selecting and filling in your information as you want it to appear in the directory.   You will have another opportunity to add children’s names and make changes to this information when you come in for your photo session.

You will receive an email from the photographer and a text from me to remind you of your time.

If you choose instead to submit a digital photo to be included in the directory, your photo must be vertical (portrait). Please contact Cheryl Kensing for instructions on how to submit. The deadline for digital submission is May 15th.
