Giving Initiatives

My mission as a photographer and business owner is to honor and celebrate people. I do that through the images I create for families, but also by spreading the love further by regularly donating to organizations specifically geared to supporting families and children.

who do you

want to celebrate?

As a personal project, I want to offer one free session a quarter to a family who would deeply treasure family photos but may not have the funds to invest in them right now. Please complete the form below to nominate that awesome family you know who love each other hard (and play hard, too!). I will choose one family from the nominations on the start of each new quarter.

Nominations for the next quarter are due by March 30th, 2025. 

Do you know a family with a powerful story, hearts of gold, or enduring a difficult season?
