FPW Joins National Family Week

Family portrait week along with 6 Master photographers photographed over 400 familys FREE  in the National Family Week 15th-21st May 09 in and around the country. With our team joining the National Family Week to help raise awarness of the Family portrait week.

Capital Shopping Centre group had made spaces available for this cause. There were 10 shopping centres involved and activities such as childrens stories drawing games etc were available for the familys coming along.

" It was a hard task to put together in such short time but we created a fantastic impression on people coming along to have a FREE image taken and emailed to them. For some it was a first time they had even been photographed by a pro photographer" said Gary and Hoss.

" Comments were very positive in helping raise funds for Variety Club Children's Charity. Thanks to the team that managed to get out and cover these events in such short time" says Gary. There will be further contact with the families to spread the cause of family Portrait Week.

 “We are looking for any way of publicising this event to bring families together while supporting The Variety Club Children's Charity”
