For the last few years we, eight old friends, have chosen a charity we'd like to help out around the holidays. We use our time, talents, and resources to benefit those in need. Many of us make hand crafted items that are sold at boutiques. Angie donates the money raised from her Christmas photo sessions. Other of us spend time in the kitchen making delicious holiday treats that are sold.
We look forward to picking a new service each year. We enjoy working together as friends. Each year we are delighted by the generosity of those around us.
This blog was created to to give you an idea of how you can be involved and to THANK those who generously help us pull off a Special Christmas Project each year.

2011 Utah County Photo Shoot

We feel the  Mini Christmas Photo Shoots help out so much in our fund raising efforts and are usually a favorite to our supporters so we're pleased to announce we will be offering a Utah County shoot this year. It will be held in Pleasant Grove on Friday, November 11th. It is by appointment only.  Each session is $25 and lasts about 15 minutes. You'll receive 3 digital images to do with what you please (print, blog, Christmas cards, gift tags, etc.).
 If you are interested in donating $25 to our 'Special Christmas Project' and getting Christmas photos in return please call (801-808-5535), comment, or email (abbieutahusa@gmail.com) to make an appointment.

Here are some fun photo ideas:
1. Kids in Christmas pajamas
2. Kids in tacky, ugly sweaters. Shoot, dress the dog up too!
3. Kids in scarves, hats, gloves, and in their favorite sled.
3. Halloween Costumes (That's right its never too late...)

We are very excited to be providing Christmas to some very special families this holiday season! We are so grateful for your support!

Merry Christmas,
Eight old Friends

PS Other photo shoots will be held in South Jordan and Salt Lake City.
