Spreading Awareness!

Sunday, we photographed our fundraiser for Wings of Eagles Ranch & Therapeutic Riding Center.


We photographed Christine Cronin and her family a couple of years ago in our studio. During her session, we realized she started this amazing organization for people with disabilities of all ages. Through the practice of therapeutic horseback riding, the disabled can develop self-esteem and muscle tone. We've since attended annual events held at the ranch, where Christine's riders showcase their riding abilities. The most inspirational part of the event is hearing the stories of children that came to Christine years ago after a doctor had told them they'd never walk, but after continuous horseback riding practice, they've proven the doctors wrong. Nothing beats the smiles on their faces when they receive their blue ribbons after their rides.



Christine has inspired us to spread awareness for her ranch. Last year was our first annual fundraiser and we were thrilled with our response. This year was even better! We photographed about twelve different families at the ranch on Sunday afternoon. With each session, a $50 donation was given directly to the ranch. From session fees alone, we've raised over $500 for Wings of Eagles. Each family will receive a complimentary 8x10 portrait and we're offering special discounted studio prices for any additional orders from Sunday's sessions. We hope to beat last year's donation!


Here's a few images from our 2nd annual fundraiser!



















We hope you're as inspired by Christine's passion as we are. If you're interested in knowing more about the ranch, click here. If you weren't able to make it to our fundraiser, there's other ways you can help - volunteering at the ranch, monetary donations, and supply donations! There's plenty of info about all these on their website. Enjoy!
