As a child, I grew up spending my summers on Long Beach Island.   I have so many special memories of being with my family at the shore, spending endless hours in the ocean while my dad watched me vigilantly, building sand castles with my brother and playing “kadima” with whoever was up to the challenge!

Here’s your chance to capture special beach memories of your own family to be remembered and enjoyed for a lifetime…. I am offering beach sessions at the end of this month, from Sunday, June 27th until Tuesday, June 29th and also next month from Friday, July 23rd until Saturday, July 31st.   I offer 2 sessions per day, one in the early morning and one in the evening.  We can shoot at your own local beach, at the bay, or at the beautiful Barnegat Lighthouse on the northern tip of LBI.

For a limited time,  I am offering a special $150 savings which includes:  $50 off your session fee and a $100 print credit to be applied towards your order!

For more information or to book a session, call Christine at (917) 697-1835 or email me at chris@christinedesavino.com

For more information about their wonderful mission statement, visit CARE.

Not all of my sessions are finished yet, but this is a little montage of some who participated in the promo…

For any session booked between now and February 14th, I will reduce your session fee to $100 and contribute 100% of that in both of our names to CARE’s relief effort in Haiti.

After considering many different organizations, including the Red Cross, Unicef and Grassroots International, I’ve decided on CARE. Below is their mission statement, but what resonated with me most is their focus on empowering poor women around the world.

If you would like to participate, please remember all sessions must be booked by February 14th and must be completed by April 15th.  Please find CARE’s mission statement below and a link to their website.

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization that fights global poverty through efforts to improve education, increase access to clean water and prevent the spread of disease.  Women are at the heart of CARE’s community based efforts because, given the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty.  CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of natural disasters and war, helping people rebuild their lives.

The holidays are right around the corner…

and I’ve only got a few openings left on my  2009 calendar.   As a special gift this season, I am offering $100 off any of my collections to the next two one people to book a session with me for this year!

This season, why not give the gift of a timeless photographic keepsake. Prints, storyboards, photo boxes or coffee table books make wonderful gifts for family and friends.

(better hurry!)
