Dog Portrait Day!
Last weekend we partnered with Brekke Veterinary Clinic in Castle Pines for a special invitation-only dog portrait day for their clients. It was so much fun to meet all these beautiful dogs and their families!
This was the first time for many of these dogs to have a professional photo shoot and many of the families were surprised and excited to hear that Mark offers full family photography sessions with dogs.
If you've thought about having pictures taken of your dog(s) and your family, then look no further! Mark works with all dog breeds and levels of energy/obedience. He offers both studio session at his South Denver photography studio and outdoor photo sessions at multiple locations around the Denver area for your convenience.
And, if you live in the Castle Rock or Castle Pines area and need a wonderful veterinarian, then check out Brekke Veterinary Clinic! They are amazing and their clinic is absolutely beautiful.
Special fundraiser for Inside the Orchestra
We are always on the lookout for local non-profits to support who make a difference in our community. It's no secret that we are passionate about causes who help kids and dogs and we learned about an organization over the winter that we've come to love. The mission of Inside the Orchestra is to bring orchestra music to young children in the greater Denver metropolitan community, cultivating music appreciation and enhancing their education through an engaging first-hand experience with the orchestra. We attended one of their "Tiny Tots" programs a few months ago and were blown away with how much the kids loved it and how the orchestra performance with completely designed with small kids (with even smaller attention spans) in mind. The children were encouraged to get up and move throughout the performance and it was just as fun for the adults as it was for the kids!
Inside the Orchestra is looking to raise enough funds by June 30 to send 1,500 local Denver low income kids to an orchestra event (their fundraising goal is $15,000). There are numerous long-term developmental benefits to exposing kids to music at an early age. "Music is a language, and children are oriented toward learning language. Music evokes movement, and children delight in and require movement for their development and growth. Music's melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory." Music also helps improve academic skills, develop physical skills, cultivates social skills, refines discipline and patience, boots self-esteem, introduces children to other cultures and other benefits! Inside the Orchestra is the only organization of its kind in the Denver Metro area that brings music to at risk and low income children.
How can you help? Now through June 28th, book an indoor studio photography session or an outdoor photo session in the Denver metro area with Mark (reserve a session by 6/28 to use by 9/30) and 100% of your session fee will be donated directly to Inside the Orchestra when you mention this fundraiser. You will also receive a $100 credit towards heirloom wall art from your session. Book your photography session with Mark today and help Denver kids at the same time!
