Pip and her family have been good friends and clients over the years.

When Pip was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer last October she and her family decided to throw their efforts into fundraising to help find a cure for this. It is not a common type of cancer so a lot more research is needed. Anyhow on a recent visit I took a few wacky, fun shots of Pip which she can use for her fundraising and to give her some more publicity.

Later on this year I’ll be offering a portrait voucher for just £15. This £15 will go directly to Pip’s fundraising and will will give you £100 worth of photography. Details will follow later.

Well done Pip, keep up the good work and I hope you like the photos !

I was recently asked by one of my customers if I could help fund raise toward The Forest School in Winnersh and Ryeish Green school PTA. As this is for  local causes and the fact that I photograph lots of families and children I was delighted to help out.

What we have agreed is that you can purchase a portrait voucher valued at £100 for just £15. The £15 will go direct to the Schools’ PTA and for this you will receive your portrait voucher which you can use at my studio. £100 will cover the cost of a session (normal value £25) and will leave you with £75 in credit. Finished portraits start at £60 so you could have one of these with £15 left over to put towards anything else if you wish.

Their summer fayres are being held on Sunday 27 June (Forest) and Sat 3rd July (Ryeish Green) and you can purchase the vouchers there. If you are unable to attend you can contact me direct at info@neilpalmerphotography.co.uk or phone – 0118 966 7676. Alternatively you can contact Jacqueline Gibby at jacqueline_gibby@yahoo.com. All details and information will be posted or e mailed to you.

There are no major terms and conditions. The session can be of an individual (baby, toddler, child), couples, families. You can also bring in your pets and grand parents ! All we ask is you must book the session within 1 month of receiving the voucher. However the session can be booked for upto 1 year ahead. Finally, the voucher cannot be used for weddings, corporate and business shoots.

Please feel free to contact me if you require further information. Thank you for your time and support.

I’ve recently designed some new gift vouchers which have always been very popular. But now I am able to e mail them as well. They can be purchased in £25 installments and can be used to purchase from past portrait sessions and weddings. A seperate viewing, either on line or at my my studio, can be arranged if necessary. They can also be used on future sessions and weddings as well.

Please contact me for further details. You can call in to collect in person or it can all be done over the phone and by e mail.

I’ve agreed to donate a voucher worth £100 for the sum of just £15. The £15 will go direct to the charity and you can pay directly by visiting the website above. Anna will then send me your details and booking information will be sent to you.

The £100 voucher will entitle you to a portrait session (worth £25) of your family, baby, children, pet…and also includes a credit of £75 to go towards portraits which start from £60.

Please help in this very worthwhile cause. Rob Wilson, our local MP, is actively involved as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMROdMAZqYU

You can get further details by contacting Anna at  buscotauction@btinternet.com You can also contact me direct -  phone 0118 966 7676 or info@neilpalmerphotography.co.uk

The portrait offer I did was well received and has raised so far around £120 with still a fair amount of interest being shown.

Just to summarise the promotion once again – for the sum of £15  I will donate a photography voucher worth £85 to use at my studio. This will be for a family portrait session to include a small desktop print. The £15 will be donated to the Parents Society to help raise funds for equipment and furniture for the new Science and Sixth Form Building. The offer is still available until Monday 4th May 09. You can get your voucher directly from me here at the studio or from Miriam Graham on 0118 954 6400 or mims.grahamnet@ntlworld.com.

Thank you for your support.

This can be for any amount above £25 and can be used to purchase from past sessions including weddings as well. If you are on our Cherubs scheme you can also use it on a recent or future session.

Or why not use it for a completely new session. One advantage of this is that we will waive the session fee of £25 which means the total value will go towards prints.

Remember the date is Sunday 22nd March. Please e mail me for more details. The gift voucher can be arranged simply and quickly over the phone on 0118 966 7676, no need to call in.
