I love reliving memories from this past year and this is one of my absolute favorites! When I first started photography I knew that I wanted to use it to help others and volunteer or donate to organizations and individuals whenever I could. I stumbled upon the organization Together We Rise who helps provide belongings and resources to children in Foster Care. At the time they had a program which allowed people who were adopting to sign up for a free photo session of the adoption. I thought this sounded amazing so I signed up as a volunteer. I never heard from them and forgot all about it. Fast forward to at least 10 years later and I suddenly get an e-mail asking if I would be willing to donate a session for a couple that was adopting. I was surprised (since I had forgotten all about this) but SO excited. They give me the address for the courthouse and it turns out it is 1 1/2 hours away, but I didn’t even care. This was definitely one of the most rewarding and memorable sessions of the year for me. Little Chip is such a sweetie and he so lucky to have found equally sweet parents.
