 Saint Phalle Photography - If you're like most parents, getting professional portraits done of your kids is definitely something you'd like to do, some day. There's always a reason to put it off. Saint Phalle Photography is here to change that and give you a reason to go ahead and take the plunge this year, and why not? The kids aren't getting any younger, and by joining our project you can help us raise $10,000 for the Green Mountain Club, whose mission, since 1910, has been to preserve and protect Vermont's Long Trail, a free resource for all that will be here long after we're all gone.
Saint Phalle Photography will be scheduling up to three environmental portrait sessions per day between now and the end of October. These sessions will typically last 60 - 90 minutes. Sessions normally begin at our studio in Johnson. From there you can explore a variety of fun locations that can include a covered bridge on a quiet dirt road, a suspended foot bridge that carries Long Trail hikers across the Lamoille River, as well as Saint Phalle's two acre meadow with its breathtaking views of the Green Mountains. They can also arrange to meet up elsewhere in the Stowe / Smugglers Notch region. |
