Supporting our Community
Through a number of photography projects we've been able to give back to organizations in our community that benefit children and families. One of our ongoing projects involves photographing children impacted by congenital heart defects for the Children's Heart Foundation - Oregon Chapter. Courage is their middle name and we see it on every face that steps in front of our lens. For the past five years we've documented more children who've faced the challenges living with congenital heart defect. These photos are on display at events like LionHeart and Pulse and used to advertise and support this great cause.
Another project came our way for the Street Yoga through our long time client and project direct Mark Lilly. He told us about his project to teach mindful movement and meditation to at risk youth including children who are in transition with housing. Photographing these children in their favorite yoga poses gives you a sense that about how important coping skills are for all children.
Monthly Photography Giveaway
Each month we ask folks to tell us about an individual or family who would benefit from having their photograph taken but might not have the means to make this possible. Our team makes a selection and offers them the gift of portraiture. For many a single photograph can mean more than words can ever express. Contact us with your nominee.
Donations for Fundraisers and Auctions
One of the great many things we are proud of is our involvement with local and national philanthropic organizations. Being involved with our community, and regularly donating our time and professional services is a part of our ongoing commitment to giving back.
We love to help out with auctions and are happy to provide a generous gift certificate when a sample of our work is on display. Our donations for Live Auctions are even bigger and perfect bundled with dinner for a family.
To find out if we can support your organization's Live auction, silent auction or raffle just contact us with your request. There are a limited amount of donated items available so be sure to get your request in early. Non-profits can download a pdf of our current donation offerings here.
Annual Halloween Portrait 'Fun'raiser
For the past three years we've held a photography event for all the lil' ghosts, goblins and ladybugs who venture past our studio door. All the proceeds have benefited the Oregon Food Bank and together with our community we've been able to supply over 250 emergency food boxes to those in need in our area.
Our Donations Help Support Our Community
Over the years we've been honored to help support over 125 local organizations by donating over $200,000 in goods and services. We hope you'll consider supporting these fine organizations too.
