About
In 2018, while working as Development Director at Aspire Counseling, I offered to photograph some of the the families served by Aspire -- a mental health non-profit organization providing mental health therapy to uninsured and lower-income individuals and families. During each photo shoot many of the mothers would cry. When I asked why, the answer was the same, they had never posed for photographs with their children. They had never had a family portrait taken. The mothers were crying tears of joy. I was shocked and humbled, and asked the question -- why is photography so exclusive? How can it be more accessible? This led me to create ‘Positive Light’
Services
With an Artists & Scholars Project Grants (ASPG) from the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, I am able to offer Lifestyle or Documentary Style Family Photo Sessions at no-charge.
Families receive a password protected online gallery and a canvas image for their home.
Non-profits, with client permission, can use the images to highlight the impact of their work, and the beauty and strength of the individuals they serve.
