The Front Steps Project
Tax deductible
It feels like the world has stopped, doesn’t it?
Yet I am still here – in Palos Verdes – with my family and neighbors, friends and others (though virtually!) during this unprecedented time.
As a photographer, I spend hours every week capturing portraits of people in LA and more. Life is still happening in homes right now. I know it. But I can’t be there to capture it.
Starting today, I am taking five minute "Front Steps Portraits" of Palos Verdes residents. 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 Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #TheFrontStepsProject
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, on the train 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 Los Angeles.
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 Los Angeles Regional Food Bank . Suggested donation is $50 but any amount is appreciated.
More information about Los Angeles Regional Foodbank: The mission of the Los Angeles Regional Food bank is to mobilize resources to fight hunger in our community.

The vision statement of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is that no one goes hungry in Los Angeles County.
