Capture Your Life!

image

eMotion Portraits Studios in Huntington Beach is a unique photo studio that’s ideal for families and children who want something other than traditional posed images. It works like this: you show up with your family and your children can bring something with them that they’re interested in: like a skateboard, a soccer ball, basketball, ballet tutu, etc.

The photo session normally lasts an hour, but it flies by (even for the kids). The studio is state-of-the-art, and children can skateboard, throw balls, or dance, while hundreds of photos are captured. In a week or so you can go back and watch a slide show of digitally transformed images that capture your family in an unpredictable and fun way.

Then, you can choose from a variety of sizes and frames perfect for what you need. You can see some of their work here.  And I was fortunate enough to experience a photo session with my son Tristan, 18 who was diagnosed four years ago with type 1 diabetes.

And eMotion Portrait Studios is helping to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research by donating a percent of sales back to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) for any bookings made between now and Aug. 31 (photos can be taken anytime before Dec. 31, 2010). Please just mention JDRF.
