The Central Missouri Foster Care and Adoption Association will offer free family photography sessions next month in Jefferson City.
The organization has scheduled to hold a full day of photo taking sessions for foster, adoptive and kinship families on April 1, according to a CMFCAA news release. The location for the Jefferson City sitting has yet to be announced. The family portraits are going to be on 10-by-10-inch canvases.
Each photo-taking session is set to last at most 30 minutes, with the photographer taking photos of the family and individual children. Interested families can sign up free of charge at signupgenius.com/go/10C094AA8A829A1F8C07-family, according to the news release.
