I am so excited to announce the new [Bella Bambino Gives Back] program! My sunday morning coffee this morning is going to focus on defining this program and its purpose. I feel so blessed and fortunate to be able to do what I absolutely love everyday as a career- that I want to give back. I have always had a special place in my heart for volunteering and helping others. I thought that it would be an amazing idea to combine my passion for photography with my passion for helping others. I have done numerous pro-bono shoots in the past, but I wanted to create a program that actually offered pro-bono shoots on a regular basis.
Through [Bella Bambino Gives Back] I will take on one pro-bono shoot a month. I will be taking request through my site from either individuals themselves or friends and family of individuals who are candidates for the [Bella Bambino Gives Back] program. Candidates could be individuals of any age who would benefit from having fine-art images free of charge. For example, deserving individuals who normally would not be able to afford my services or individuals who are sick or disabled. I am also a member of NILMDTS ( now i lay me down to sleep ) which is an organization that offers infant bereavement photography. Feel free to check out their site www.nilmdts.com. Part of the [Bella Bambino Gives Back] program will offer bereavement photography to people who would like to capture memories of someone who has a terminal illness as well as infant bereavement.
To nominate an individual or family for the [Bella Bambino Gives Back] program please contact me via email at sheri@bellabambinophotography.com or directly through my site. You can also call the Cape Girardeau studio at 573.651.4408 or the Charles Town Studio at 304.724.6555.
Good for you!! That is really great!
