This year, we are splitting up our Portraits in the Park for Operation Smile mini sessions into 2 dates to help with scheduling.

 

On September 13, 2025, Love & Lenses Photography will be offering morning-only mini sessions with all 4 photographers available.

 

On September 14, 2025, Love & Lenses Photography will be offering afternoon-only mini sessions with only the Associate and Junior Associate available.

 

Both dates will be at The Steuben House at Historic New Bridge Landing in River Edge, NJ.

 

The photographers will each photograph 15-minute mini-portrait sessions for a suggested donation of at least $30 per session. This seemingly low number would equal almost 8 life-saving surgeries for children around the world that morning alone!

 

That's almost 8 children whose lives are being saved. Almost 8 families will get to watch their children survive simple everyday activities such as eating and drinking. Almost 8 children who, because of you, will be able to smile.

 

We are only receiving donations in advance through the fund site. Please see the information page linked above for the donation page. Payments may be made no later than September 10, 2025. This way, if you have to cancel your session, we have time to fill it with names from a waiting list. Donations cannot be refunded if you forfeit your session. More information will be found in your contracts.

 

Our fundraising goal for September 13th & 14th is to raise $1860 combined (a total of almost 8 surgeries).

 

$240 is all it takes to change a life!
