The cost of a 20min headshot session will be $350 and I will donate $175 to the nonprofit you choose, either Women for Afghan Women or the Lilith Fund in Texas. Through organizing and movement-building, we foster a positive culture around abortion, strengthen people power, and fight for reproductive justice in and with our communities. We provide financial assistance and emotional support while building community spaces for people who need abortions in Texas-unapologetically, with compassion and conviction. The Lilith Fund is the oldest abortion fund in Texas, serving the central and southern regions of our state with direct financial assistance for abortions.
Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is the largest women’s organization in Afghanistan, with over 850 local Afghan staff working tirelessly to provide support services to women, children, and families. I have chosen two organizations who are helping women in these immediate crisis areas: Women for Afghan Women and the Lilith Fund in Texas. Three photos of three women smiling at the camera in front of different backdrops. I have been thinking about doing a headshot day for awhile, so now feels like the time to do it. Photo of a young woman leaning forward with her hand on her chin in front of a grey backdrop.Īnd then I remembered I can offer photo shoots, like I have done in the past. Helpless because I don’t have money to donate, and helpless because I live in a small crowded house and don’t have any room for refugees, although I have thought about trying to make it work. Listening to the news makes me feel helpless. Happy Giving Tuesday!Īs you have probably heard, women’s rights are under attack in Afghanistan and in Texas. So let me know your photo needs and stay tuned for future photo fundraisers. While this fundraiser has finished, I guarantee there will be more fundraisers in the future.
Thank you for supporting my photography and women’s rights. PS: I am grateful every day social media did not exist when I was in middle school. Middle school photo for reference, see if you can guess which one is me. When I get discouraged that what I can do doesn’t feel like much, I remember my middle school motto: Together We Can. It feels really good to live in a community that cares so much about others and strives to make the world better, especially when the world feels upside down.Īnd when the world feels upside down, I feel very lucky to be able to use my photography to help in the way I know how. I also want to send a big THANK YOU to Keller Street CoWork, who generously donated the space for the photo shoots, and to Elizabeth Mori, who volunteered to assist during the photo shoots. With your help, I was able to donate $1,000 (plus transaction fees) to The Lilith Fund, and $1,000 (plus transaction fees) to Women for Afghan Women.Īnd I was able to spend time with and photograph these beautiful people. I want to send a HUGE thank you to all of the people who signed up for, donated to and shared my Headshots for Women’s Rights Fundraiser.
