pictureLOVE: photographilanthropy
I've had many conversations with people about my pricing - usually ending in arguments. Help-Portrait is very much in line with my pricing strategy. Being a single parent at one time who could barely afford to get a roll of film developed much less fork over money to have professional portraits done, I have a very deep and personal belief that beautiful pictures need to be accessible to everyone, regardless of race, income, gender, or age. You don't need to be rich or successful or beautiful to pictureLOVE. You just need to LOVE. Some may say that I undervalue my services, but I don't think my clients would agree. I value what I do as much as oxygen, and it's priceless.
I am asking for nominations for 3 families in need. I cannot shoot on December 12th at the Edmonton-wide project, but I can contact the recipients on December 12th and schedule a date that works for them. Please email your nomination to h dot walls at shaw dot ca
I don't need their personal histories - just their email or phone number. Perhaps it's a student, perhaps it's a colleague, perhaps it's a friend, perhaps it's someone who is terminal... pick someone who a) would love professional pictures and b) isn't able at this time to partake of this invaluable service. I will select 3 entries by random draw on December 12th, 2009. If you are a colleague, I urge you to participate as well.

you go girl!!!
Like you, I do not believe that beautiful photos are a luxury just for the wealthy.
I also looked into participating on the 12th (scheduling conflicts - but I did order a shirt to support it as I plan on doing it in the future - maybe go on my own like you are.)
... also, another thing I am going to do in the next few days is 'cans for comments' - a few photogs are donating canned goods to the Food Bank for every comment posted on their blog - it is minor, but it is all good.
Take care
