This past Monday, a fire ripped through a downtown Natick building that housed several small businesses. You may have seen news reports of firefighters trying to bring the fire under control for hours. This fire hit close to home (literally – I could see the smoke from my living room window), and also to the building where I share studio space just 2 blocks down.

While I was lucky on both counts, Jill Hourihan, owner of Metro Pets lost her store (minus the front window, which is one of the few parts of the entire block left standing and recognizable) Because we have a personal connection with Jill, Katie Ring and I would like to do what we can to help out. Here is how you can help us help a friend:

Raffle Tickets : Each $10 raffle ticket (3 for $25) will give you a chance to win one of two studio portrait sessions that Katie and I are both donating. Sessions, to be used in the next 3 months, will be 30 minutes and include one digital file. The proceeds of this raffle will go to directly to Jill to help rebuild her business.

Portrait Sessions : Katie and I will also donate 20% of any new portrait sessions scheduled within the next 2 weeks.

I love the Natick community more and more, and I am thankful for the means to help another business owner. Thank you so much for your support.

Raffle tickets can be purchased by sending $ via paypal (PayPal.Me/KatieRingPhotography) or with cash in person.

You can contact me or Katie to book a portrait session here (for me) or at www.katiering.com
