We’re really excited to be working on a “Kids of the Hunter” photo book this year! It will be a beautiful tribute to the Hunter Region’s families, and we’re hoping to raise a bunch of money for the Hunter Medical Research Institute too.

But we need your help! Here’s how you can get involved:

• Pay a special discounted price (only $79) for a family photo session with us.
• We’ll donate your ENTIRE session fee (all $79 of it) to HMRI on your behalf.
• Book your photo session to take place no later than 11 November this year.
• With your permission, we’ll include a selection of images from your session in the “Kids of the Hunter 2011″ photo book!

We’re hoping you’ll love your photos enough to buy some for yourself, too – but we promise there won’t be any pressure to do so.

That’s it, really! If you’re interested in helping us help HMRI, please call us on (02) 4910 0129, or drop us a line so we can call you!

why HMRI?

We’re supporting the Hunter Medical Research Institute because:

• It’s truly local, not just a local branch of a national organisation.
• Its work represents a hugely valuable contribution to society.
• It’s well-placed to take full advantage of donations of any size.

Here’s some information from HMRI about their work. Check out their website for more:

HMRI is committed to improving the wellbeing of humanity through health and medical research.

We are contributing valuable knowledge and expertise towards improving our understanding of diseases and conditions that touch the lives of people known to each of us. These include cancer, heart disease, asthma, mental illness, premature birth and stroke.

HMRI researchers are at the cutting edge of research, having been recognised nationally and internationally for significant discoveries that are changing the way we deliver health care.

what do you get?

You get everything that’s usually included in a One Fine Day family portrait experience:

• A 20-30 minute planning session (in person or over the phone).
• A 1-2 hour photo session at a location of your choice (your home, your favourite park, the beach).
• A viewing session at our studio (your opportunity to purchase prints, canvas wraps, etc.).
• Beautiful images that your family will treasure for years to come (examples here).

You also get to help fund life-saving research!

Please contact us if you’d like to book in. Places are strictly limited, so don’t wait too long to get in touch!

UPDATE: we’ve fielded a number of enquiries about our print prices, so we’re posting them here for you to check out. We had planned to explain our prices over the phone before booking you in, and we’d still encourage you to get in touch if anything is unclear! Also, please don’t pay too much attention to the à la carte prices … they’re discounted by about 50% if you buy a print or canvas wrap collection, and we’re happy to build custom collections too.
