As in the past, we ask that you RSVP responsibly. With the rising costs of these events, we introduced a policy where you will be charged should you RSVP and not show up for the event. We understand emergencies and other situations occur however, the organization can no longer absorb the cost of these events when people are a no show. For this event, we ask that if there is a change to your RSVP that you notify us within 24 hours of the event. If we are not notified in the appropriate amount of time, you will be charged the amount that the organization was charged for this event. You will be required to pay that before you are allowed to attend any other DSIG events. We hope that you understand how hard it was for us to make this decision, but this is our way of trying to keep costs down for our families. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support in this matter.

Each family can sign up for a ONE 20-minute outdoor session with a photographer. You will get digital professional photos of your family for free! So, make sure the session you sign up for really fits your schedule because once you sign up, we’re expecting that you will be there!
In addition to you gaining access to the pictures taken of your family for free, the DSIG will have access and will be able to use these pictures as marketing pieces, across social media platforms, in emails, promotional flyers etc. For this to happen, we require your consent and permission to release the photographs before you sign up for a session. Without consent to a release, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in this event.
Spots may go quickly, as it is on a first come first served basis. If you are unable to get a spot, email me (Kelsey Mango) at [email protected] and I will put you on a waitlist in the event that a photographer offers additional time.
Use the link below to sign your family up for a session. After you sign up, more information about your specific session will be emailed to you as the event gets closer! We can’t wait to see you there!
