As an amateur photographer, there is nothing more I love doing than sharing my passion with others. Although I do not have a studio, or an array of camera equipment to choose from, I know that I can use what I have to produce memories that will last a lifetime- and the ability to do that is something that should not be kept to myself!
This time last year, I had already had my senior photographs done.
I got lucky because I worked for the photographer who took my senior photos, and only had to pay to order the prints.
However, there are students all around us who are not able to document such an important time in their lives due to financial needs. There are students among us who help pay bills because they have to, or eat small meals because their family cannot afford enough food…
These students are our next generation of workers, suppliers, CEO's, politicians…
And graduating High School is the first BIG accomplishment.
20 years down the road, when I am staring at my old self in a lace-collared dress and combat boots, in the Haw River in Saxapahaw, I am going to smile and be so delighted at how wonderfully excited, and accomplished I felt at that time. The transition period for everyone graduating. The eagerness to start college, and the responsibility to be an adult.
But young adults who cannot see the PROGRESS and ACCOMPLISHMENT looking back at themselves… The BEAUTY of youthfulness… They will have nothing to see and grow from.
As I prepare myself to go into the community and work with multiple high schooler's, capturing the moments in time of accomplishment, excitement, and success, I want to ask any of you who can and want to to donate to my initiative to give back.
By donating through my PayPal Fundraising account, YOU will be the people printing the photos for these students, and allowing them copies of CDs. YOU will be the one receiving a thank you note, and a coupon from me! YOU will be the CHANGE in a COMMUNITY of students, and allowing these students to receive the gift of a lifetime!
Here's to Sharing The [Shot]!
