Join us at our May 14th meeting. Our featured speaker is Christine Hall who is a portrait and wedding photographer.

She will be doing a demonstration portrait shoot with a child outdoors, before the beginning of our meeting. Due to light and the issue of moving people around, Ms. Hall is going to begin the demo at 6:45 PM in the area at the corner of Greenlawn Drive and Burnside Drive, right near Heckler's.

This is basically across the parking lot (East) from ArtWorks. If you were to face Bi-Lo it is one short block of buildings to your right. There is a pretty area with a pond and oak trees. http://g.co/maps/2ynx6 is the link to a map showing the intersection.

After Christine's demo shoot, at approximately 7:15 PM,we will move to Artworks where we will have or meeting as usual , with the business and announcements and Christine's presentation.

Christine is a fantastic Savannah, GA based photographer, and this will be a great program. To see more about her and see some of her work, check out her website and blog: http://www.christinehallphotography.com
