As a human and as a parent to two young humans, it is all I can do not to be in a puddle of despair as I see image after image of crying children being pulled from the rubble, or worse, during the Israel-Palestinian Conflict that started on October 7th. It feels impossible. I do not know how this ends, or how people survive once it does end.

But what gives me so much hope is my community.

I offered a free photoshoot if we could raise $2,000 for Doctors Without Borders and Anera and you all responded immediately. So I offered another free photoshoot if we could make it to $4,000 and we made it with my donation included.

So thank you. Thank you. Thank you for giving me hope. Here are some of the generous people I have been lucky to photograph over the years who donated. There were many more donors I have never even met before, and I am floored by your generosity. Thank you.

I wish I could give a free photoshoot to every single person who donated, but the winners for this round are Varsha and Suzanne. But stay tuned, we just may have to do it again.

With love, gratitude and hope.
