Can I Help? – Aberdeen, MD Family Photographer

August 25, 2009 by shawn 

A photographer friend and I were having a discussion about how much we love what we do and how great it is to have a customer/client/friend who is moved by your work.    I know that on more than one occasion, my work has moved people to tears of joy and disbelief and that is just an amazing feeling and really, the point of my work.  I want to produce portraits that invoke strong emotions of joy and really capture that moment in time so that whenever someone views the portraits on their wall or in an album, they are taken back to those memories and get to relive that time once again.

Then our conversation changed slightly and we were talking about some friends and family we knew who were having a rough time keeping their head above water financially, or had even lost their job and were having a tough time finding work.  As we talked, I started linking the two topics and thinking of these people who were having rough times and who probably can’t even afford a wal-mart portrait package, let alone custom portraiture from a professional photographer.  Their kids are still getting older, their wives are still pregnant, their sons/daughters are still being born but they lack the expendable income in their budgets for portraits to capture these important moments before they are gone.

This could have been a passing thought, but another photographer posted a timely post on his blog with a call to action, a kick in the pants, to help others and to do some work for people who were having a rough time.  To capture their memories in portraiture and to bring them some joy in these tough times.  I’m not letting this call to action pass me by, I’m standing up and taking action but I need your help.

I want to help by offering a completely free custom portrait session including a print package, totally free of charge to someone who is having a rough time.  The family will come to our Aberdeen, MD studio for a 2 hour portrait session.  After the session, we will review the images and they will pick their favorites and I will put together a custom portrait package specifically designed for their family including at least one framed wall portrait (16×20) at no cost.  If you know of someone who has lost their job or is just having a really tough time keeping up with the cost of taking care of a family, please let me know.

I’ll need the following information:

• Your Name and whether you want the family to know you recommended them
• The recipient Family’s name and who I should contact
• Contact information for the recipient family
• Why you are recommending them
• Some information about their family: number of kids, gender and approximate ages

Feel free to Email Us or Call, 410-734-2770, with your recommendations.
