We Can Do This!

Haiti. In the last few weeks, when we've heard that word, we think earthquake. We think devastation. We think death. We think of praying. We ask ourselves what we can do. I know, from personal experience, that once we've texted Haiti to that one number or contributed X amount of dollars, we think we can justify ourselves in saying that we've done our part. But even before Haiti was hit with this natural disaster, it was already one of the poorest countries in the world. We can not just think that a one- time worldwide relief effort will give Haiti what it needs. We will not and can not forget what the Haitians have suffered. We can do something about it. You can do something it. We can offer our money, our time, our prayers and our hope for them.

So what is this all alluding to?

Two dates. February 15th and February 20th. Mandie from Sindisiwe Photography and myself will be holding 30- minute portrait sessions to raise funds for Haiti. Sessions are $100 and will be donated to one of the following charities of your choice and under your name: World Vision, Mercy Corps., and Save the Children.

Gather your friends for some group shots, maybe update those family portraits, or just get some fun portraits of yourself. Who doesn't like having their portrait taken? The session will also include a free 8x10 print of your choice and access to an online gallery in which you may purchase more prints. A portion of these sales will also be going to bring relief to Haiti.

Make some time. Get some portraits. Bring hope to Haiti. Feb. 15th at Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill or Feb. 20th at Bellevue Downtown Park. Come hang out with us! We're fun.

If you'd like more information about this, feel free to email me at rsp@dorothyhuynh.com or Mandie at info@sindisiwephotography.com. To book a session, contact Mandie via email or at 206. 963. 8676. Book soon; spaces are limited!

Also, please please spread the news about this to anyone you think might be interested. If we get enough requests, we'll more than likely open up another date in the Spring.
