Portrait Sessions To Benefit NYFS

Cynthia McIntyre Photography will host Family Portrait Day to benefit Newtown Youth & Family Services (NYFS) on Saturday and Sunday June 20 and 21, from 10 am to 5 pm at The Pleasance in Newtown.

A professional portrait photographer, Ms McIntyre is donating her time and talent to create heirloom quality family outdoor portraits for this event. Families can show their support for NYFS by signing up for a 15-minute portrait session on June 20 or 21.

Preregistration and prepayment of the $30 session fee is required. The entire sitting fee goes to NYFS.

“This is a great opportunity for families to support the NYFS and acquire a professional outdoor portrait. What better back drop than the beautiful Pleasance foliage?” said Beth Agen, executive director of NYFS. “We are fortunate that such a talented photographer is willing to donate her time to our fundraising efforts.”

To reserve a 15-minute portrait session, call Cynthia McIntyre Photography at 364-1592. Only a limited number of sessions are available. The session includes one printout; additional copies can be purchased separately if desired.
