The DSIG is hosting free family photoshoots for members/families. Three generous photographers have donated their time and talent to provide us with these sessions for free!
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!
