Being completely selfless and giving for the sake of just giving has not always come naturally for me. When I was younger I even went so far as leaving the price tag on a presents “on accident” just so the recipient knew how much I spent. Am I proud of this? Absolutely not. I was young and dumb and did not realize that truly giving has nothing to do with the giver. In fact, life’s greatest gifts are given with no expectation for return – including recognition.
The gift of a photograph is one that many often take for granted. Some people haven’t had their picture taken in over a decade; some never have had the opportunity. Everyone has a story to tell, a journey to document. A single photograph can allow a person to feel a sense of hope, joy, and importance.
You have the opportunity to use your passion to make a difference in someone else’s life. To transform the way a person sees him or herself, in a way that is truly empowering. Please see details on Help Portrait below:
