Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and finding your groove with this new rhythm of life. Thank you again for signing up and participating in the Front Steps Project with me. This was something that brought so much positivity and happiness to me whenever I had the chance to hop in the car, play some tunes, and chat with and photograph new and old friends, even if it was only for a few minutes. I hope that our 5 minute interactions also brought something positive to yours. It was bittersweet to suspend the project to respect the stay at home order but it was the right thing to do. For those who signed up but couldn’t get our session in, I will be reaching out to get your portraits done once the stay at home order is lifted. Take care and stay safe, everyone!

The Front Steps Project - Ventura

What is it?

I was inspired by Cara Soulia, a Needham, MA photographer who began The Front Steps Project and decided to bring this project to my own community in Ventura. Cara stated it so well, so I am going to quote her: “The purpose of this project is to bring us together when we might feel isolated.  I aim to highlight the faces of our community during a time when we might not see them in passing at the grocery store, coffee shop, on the train or at the gym.  Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those who need it most right now in Needham.””

I am providing complimentary 5-minute "Front Steps Portraits" sessions of Ventura residents.  Participate with your family, your dog, your roommates!

After your session, I will mail you a small print of your portrait and email you a digital file.  In exchange, I am asking for your donation to the Ventura County Community Foundation and permission to share these images. I chose the Ventura County Community Foundation because they’ve begun the Ventura County Rapid Response Fund to support “nonprofit organizations addressing the needs of individuals and families with food and housing support, childcare, wage replacement, mental health care, and more.  The fund will also go to supporting small businesses through this crisis.”

I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #TheFrontStepsProject and #TheFrontStepsProjectVentura.

How is this going to work? I will be taking images outside ONLY and from at least 10 feet away. Our session will take approximately 5 minutes. To participate, sign up via the form below! I will contact you within 2-3 business days to schedule our 5-minute session!
