Self-Love Shoots for Charity

Self-Love Shoots for Charity

As a teen mom in an abusive relationship, the support of local community programs was a necessity. I latched onto these programs & the wonderful people I met through them and was catapulted back on track to attend college, find a career job and be the best mom possible for my daughter.

Today, there are too many moms that don’t take time out for themselves and many who simply can’t afford to because of hardship.

One shoot at a time, I’m hoping to change that. Its a full circle moment today as I begin my self-care photo sessions for charity drive.

I’m gifting a solo self-care luxury photo session to a mother who is going through a particular financial, health, emotional or other compelling hardship.

Finding a Mom-in-Need

I asked for compelling story about a deserving mom you know. I was overwhelmed with the heartfelt nominations. I wanted to gift every single mom-in-need a photo session, but I only had the means to gift ONE session…until I went to my team to see if there way a way to do more…

With the help of my generous beauty team members Quendie Joy, Jane Mar & Emily Kim, I was able to gift TWO shoots for TWO deserving moms with compelling stories.

I’m excited to share their heartfelt stories, which I will do when I reveal their photos on my new blog in May 2024.
