-Assistance for women re-entering society

....and much more
Our clients, at the time of their child or family portrait session, designate their payment to one of these organizations. We view this as a triple-win situation all around: The organization receives additional funding for its outreach to those in need; our clients reap the benefits of giving and knowing that they're helping to make a difference in the life of a child; and our studio's goal to make an impact where we can in our communities is realized.
