Thank you for your interest in volunteering your time and talent for the Portraits of Love project. We will be able to make this holiday season a little brighter for our U.S. soldiers and their families.
As a participating photographer, we're asking you to open your doors from October 5, 2011 through November 30, 2011 to take a free portrait of a family whose loved one is serving in the armed forces overseas. Your name will be put into our database for soldiers' families to contact you. All you have to do is take the portrait, upload it to
www.SeeHere.com, and hand an instruction card (will be provided and sent to you) to the family. The actual printing and mailing of the portrait will be provided courtesy of FUJIFILM.
Benefits for you:
As a participating photographer, you will receive the following:
- PMDA Portraits of Love Photographer's Kit. This kit will include:
- Poster to display in-store (Qty: 1)
- Ordering Instruction Cards for Families (Qty: 25)
- Photographer 'thank you' promotional certificate for participating (courtesy of FUJIFILM)
- Listing on the PMDA database with a hyperlink to your website
- National and local media exposure on this website through national PR placements
- Opportunity to meet prospective clients in your community
- The satisfaction of giving back to the soldiers who serve our country
