Front Step Project

As a photographer, I typically spend hours every week capturing images of families in times of joy: babies on the way, newborns, siblings, grandparents and more. Those moments of joy are still happening in homes right now. I know it. But I can’t be there to capture them.

Like everyone, Kawartha Lakes residents are doing their part to stay at home. 

Starting Monday March 23rd, I am offering to take five minute ‘Front Steps Portraits” of Lindsay residents.  I am taking three hours each day to scurry around town and snap super fast images of Lindsay families on their front steps. 

You will know when I am coming. You can step outside, where I’ll be standing near your driveway or street, at least 10 feet away. I’ll take a couple quick shots and leave. I physically interact with no one, and touch nothing, during these sessions. I *do* smile and laugh with you, however, and don’t we all need a little bit of that right now?

After your quick session, I will email you the digital file of your portrait.  In exchange, I am asking you to make a good faith donation to Kawartha Lakes Food Share

I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #frontstepprojectkl.  Please share these posts. Let’s spread the word!

The purpose of this project is to bring us together when we might feel isolated.  I aim to highlight the faces of our community during a time when we might not see them in passing at the grocery store, coffee shop or at the gym.  Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those who need it most right now in Lindsay, ON. 

 I will be taking images outside ONLY and from at least 10 feet away. Our session will be brief, likely just 5 minutes. This is not a typical get-dressed-up-and-pose-for-the-photographer session. Want to stand outside in your pajamas and slippers? Sounds good to me. Kids in mismatched clothes but you’re thrilled they got dressed? Fantastic. Wearing your bike gear because you’re headed off to ride a trail in the nice weather? Love it!  Be you.  

In exchange for the digital file of your family portrait, I ask you to make a good faith donation to the Kawartha Lakes Food Share.  Suggested donation is $50 but any amount is appreciated.
