What is Pay It Forward?
This is a nonprofit professional photography partnership program where I, as the photographer, donate my time to capture meaningful memories for you. In return, you contribute your time, money, or items of equal value to what you feel your photos are worth. The package includes a one-hour session, either outdoors or in the studio (studio rental fees are the responsibility of the client), 15 edited images, a print release, and access to an online gallery all valued at $200. This initiative is part of a movement to bring more light into the world by encouraging acts of kindness and generosity. You have the freedom to choose the recipient of your contribution, provided it does not directly benefit you (no "double dipping").
How to Pay It Forward?
Monetary
A monetary gift can be given to an organization or person of your choosing. There is a minimum donation fee of $60. Examples of this can be: Donating to the wounded warrior project or buying a homeless person meals for the week.
Time
You can donate your own time to an organization or person of your choosing. There is a minimum of two hours of community based service. Examples of this are: Volunteering at the animal shelter or doing yard work for your neighbors.
Non Monetary
Donating non monetary items to an organization or person of your choosing. There is a minimum donation value of $60. Examples of this can be: Donating your spare couch to His Helping Hands or sending school supplies to your local school.
What sessions are included?
I offer Family, Couple, Senior, Birthday, Pets & Foster package sessions. All session have a max of one hour & must be within the Wichita or Topeka area unless otherwise agreed upon.
How do I get my photos?
To receive your photo gallery, all that is required is a brief story outlining how you paid it forward and the impact of your act. Specific details are not necessary, this is simply to inspire others and encourage them to pay it forward. Please note that your photos may take up to four weeks after the session to be delivered. Additionally, donations are only valid if made after the session; donations prior to the session cannot be counted.
"You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.""
