I am proud to create this fundraiser for a very special person, not only because he is my son, but because he is an amazing artist, with a kind and a giving heart.  Please, see below what he has to say about his Photography Senior Project. Thank you! Oksana


    "Hello, my name is Alexej and I am a high school junior at Sumner High School. I have grown into enjoying photography and taking it from a passion to a skill in the past two years through work for my high school and community as a tech coordinator and photography teacher at the local YMCA.
    My primary and initial focus of this Senior Project will be to provide no cost senior photos for my peers in high school who otherwise may not be able to afford them. I hope this project will allow me to pay forward to the community which has greatly supported me and my family over the past two years during some challenging times. The idea is to later start a small photography business that works specifically to allow for often expensive photoshoots and photo projects of all kinds to be more affordable for those within my community.  Through this fundraiser I like to also spread the word that I seek to offer additional photographic work ranging from family photoshoots to weddings along with special events and real-estate.
     The funds will go towards purchasing a camera and any additional equipment that will be required for this Senior Project.
I am grateful for your consideration and donations."
