The first group I'm helping out is an organization called “Hope’s Angels” that grew out of an idea by Northwood resident Kim Koenigs as a way to reach out to mothers with children who have left abusive marriages. Rather than give money, volunteers provide services that may be needed, from a home-cooked meal to help with odd jobs. A local church has offered handmade quilts for mothers and their children. Other individuals have offered to provide hair styling and to prepare meals. I am planning on donating my photography services to these moms. I believe everyone deserves beautiful memories of their children.
Secondly, I will be giving St. Theodore Catholic School a donation for their live auction to be held this Saturday, April 17th at 6:30pm. This annual event helps raise funds to help support this great school. The item featured from my studio will be on the live auction and is an On-location Session and 20x30 Canvas Gallery Wrap. This donation has a total value of $720. I really hope it raises a good amount of money for the school.
Lastly, I am donating my services to the Humane Society of Albert Lea. This opportunity to give back came to me from one of my Pet Model participants. On a quarterly basis (as my schedule allows) I hope to continue to photograph some of the pets that need to find homes. I already took photos of several of them last week and I'm excited to share their pictures with you. To be totally honest, I got a little nervous when I saw the pitbulls since they have such a bad rap, but they were both very sweet dogs! I couldn't believe how well behaved they were, they all kenneled easily and weren't wild at all. Feel free to contact the Humane Society at (507) 377-8501 if you think you'd like to adopt one of these cuties into your family.
Hopefully, these new, updated portraits will help these guys find new homes faster!
Enjoy,
Becca
