NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Families in Focus is thrilled to welcome families across New York City to its second annual Free Holiday Photo Extravaganza on Saturday, November 30th, and Sunday, December 1st, 2024, at The Art Escape. In partnership with Kate Backdrop as part of their ‘Moments We Treasure’ campaign, this heartwarming event—led by award-winning NYC lifestyle and celebrity photographer Margaret Pattillo and produced by MZP Digital and Monahan PR—offers families the opportunity to receive complimentary, upscale holiday portraits, capturing the season’s spirit in elegant, memorable images.
Last year, Families in Focus proudly served over 40 families, providing cherished holiday portraits and lasting memories. This year, each family will once again enjoy a brief yet impactful mini session, lasting 10 minutes or less, resulting in a professionally retouched image to treasure for years to come. Families in Focus will take place at The Art Escape, a vibrant creative studio and event space conveniently located near the B, D, and 4 trains by Yankee Stadium. Any proceeds from the event will be donated to local charities, embracing the spirit of giving during the holiday season. To ensure every family has a chance to participate, time slots must be booked in advance.
