NATIVITY FAMILY PHOTOS

AT THE CHILDREN’S FARM

Would you like to have a picture of your family in a classic nativity scene, complete with a stable background, donkey and animals, and costumes?  Here at The Center in late November and early December our farm becomes Bethlehem as we conduct many live nativity scenes for school groups and church groups.  They are wonderful photo opportunities for parents.  This year we have decided to make this opportunity available to families.  Here are the details…

Professional photographer Tim Coughlin of Coughlin Studios (15418 Primrose Court, Orland Park, Illinois, (708) 633 -7344) will provide photography services to families at The Children’s Farm on Saturday, November 22 and Sunday, November 23 between 1:30 pm and 4:00 pm.  No appointment is necessary – just show up at the farm and we will get you into costume.  You may also bring your own costumes if you like.

The photo session of five to six shots will cost a flat fee of $20.00 – half of which photographer Tim Coughlin will donate to The Center.  Please only cash or check – no credit cards.  Tim will then offer prints and/or electronic images online.  In addition he will give The Center 20% of his online sales. 

Here is a chance to get a nice picture of your family in a live nativity scene celebrating the birth of Christ.  These pictures would also make wonderful Christmas cards.  Your participation would also help out all the animals at our farm.  All proceeds raised will go towards living accommodations and feed for our farm animals.  


Call (708) 361-3650 for more detailed information.
