Several Blast Off Portraits clients have been treated in the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh, which is the chosen charity for this year's Blast Off Portraits fund-raising.
Young lads Frankie H and Alex F are both currently undergoing continuing treatment at the Sick Kids. Gorgeous Evie Byrne had treatment over the past year for a Wilms Tumour, but sadly passed away last month.
With their parents permission, Blast Off Portraits is now fund-raising for the Sick Kids Hospital in two current ways.
DALGETY BAY & HILLEND GALA
Blast Off Portraits will be at the annual Gala at the Sports Centre in Dalgety Bay for the first time, with the BLAST OFF BOOTH!! Fun images with silly props are available in the booth, to make silly photos from the end of the procession to the close of the Gala. Individuals, groups, couples, children - anyone can be photographed! All images taken will be displayed as low resolution, water-marked (not for printing) images on the Nikki McLeod Photography Facebook page within a week of the Gala.
Cost - £2 per image per person, with £1 going to the Sick Kids Hospital.
