Eli Dagostino is a young Island photographer. But his youth belies his experience. Among other roles he is the staff photographer at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival. A stilt walker in a three foot hat, a woman reborn as the “bird lady,” cute kids by the hundreds; Mr. Dagostino captures them all, and they’ve never looked so good.

And now you have the chance to look just as good.

Recently, the parents at the Chilmark Preschool secured Mr. Dagostino’s services for their school fundraiser. On Sunday, Dec. 4, he will be photographing holiday portraits, or whatever you’d like him to shoot, at the Chilmark Community Center as a benefit for the violin program at the school. The shoot is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Come dressed as you are, or turn yourself into a family of elves. There is no standard template, no fixed idea of what you as a family are supposed to be. Instead, it’s up to you. As a photographer, Mr. Dagostino seems to specialize in both the classical and the jazz riff.

There will also be food, including lunch and warm cider, for sale.

Photographs cost $65 and include high resolution digital files.
