A family portrait day at Oaks at Alpharetta
Hosted for the families of Oaks at Alpharetta
portrait day
Saturday, May 30
15-minute sessions · Limited availability
WHAT IS THIS
A professional family portrait, right here at Oaks at Alpharetta.
On May 30, I'll be setting up a professional portrait studio right inside Oaks at Alpharetta. Your family comes in, we spend 15 minutes together and you walk away with the option to purchase a professionally retouched portrait you'll keep for the rest of your lives.
No travel. No scheduling around a studio across town. Just your family, your loved one, and a portrait captures the moment while you have it.
"Three years ago my mother passed away while she was living in memory care. I never thought to get a real professional family portrait with her while I had the chance. That's why I created this opportunity."
- Ric Mershon, Photographer
