GIVING BACK

One of my photography mentors once told me that my career was not complete without giving back to the community that supported me. In trying to find a cause I could support, I determined that it would have to be something near and dear to my heart, something I would support even if I were not a photographer. For me, families and children are what it's all about. I like to photograph families and watch the interaction, and children are the most fascinating creatures to photograph! Therefore, I will be donating a photo session to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Maine Bids For Kids auction on Friday, May 16. This fundraising event will be held at Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland.

If you're local, please try and support this organization, which tries to make a positive difference in the lives of young people so that they can become productive members of our society. If you're not in the Southern Maine area, I urge you to support your local affiliate.
