Today was the first day of my fundraiser- Portraits to Raise Autism Awareness! For those of you who don’t know, I am on the Board of Directors of the Autism Society of Maine and I wanted to try to raise awareness through photography! Autism occurs in 1 out of every 150 births in the United States, and that number is on the rise by 10-17% every year. Organizations like the Autism Society of Maine provide information and support to families affected by autism. For the months of May and June, I will be offering $50 portrait sessions (any kind- senior, family, children, bridal, you name it!), 100% of which will be donated to the Autism Society of Maine. Over the next two months I will be adding photographs and information pertaining to this fundraiser, so stay tuned! For more information or to schedule a session, please email (info@michelleturnerphotography.com) or call the studio (207-623-8703). Two of my good friends, Nadra Edgerley and Sharyn Peavey are also involved in the fundraiser!
