Front Steps Project - Baltimore Photographer

It has felt like the world has stopped, but we still need to connect.

As a photographer, my whole job is connecting with people. Humans (both introverts & extroverts) thrive on connection but that has been taken away from us in big ways during this unprecedented time. Now what?

I wanted to find a way to do what I can do help my community and create connections. I found it! I saw another photographer in Massachusetts started the Front Steps Project and I want to bring it here to Baltimore.

As a photographer, I spend hours every week creating portraits of women, families and business owners so they can have photos to remember who they are at this time in their lives. Life is continuing, it just looks different at this point in time. But I can’t be there like I normally do to create the photos they so desire.

Help our community.

Starting today, I am offering to take five minute “Front Steps Portraits” of Baltimore area (ish) residents. After your quick session, I will email you the digital file of your portrait. In exchange, I am asking you to make a good faith donation through this GoFundMe Campaign that benefits The Baltimore Hunger Project.

Spread the word!

I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #thefrontstepsproject. Please share these posts. Let’s spread the word! 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, at school drop off or at the gym.

Let’s Connect.

Participating in this project is also an opportunity to step up to help those around Baltimore in different ways. I will be taking images outside ONLY and from at least 10 feet away. Our session will be brief, likely just 5 minutes. This doesn’t have to be a typical get-dressed-up-and-pose-for-the-photographer session. Want to stand outside in your pajamas and slippers? Sounds good to me. Kids in mismatched clothes but you’re thrilled they got dressed? Fantastic. Wearing your bike gear because you’re headed off to ride a trail in the nice weather? Love it!

In exchange for the digital file of your family portrait, I ask you to make a good faith donation to the Baltimore Hunger Project. Suggested donation is $50 but any amount is appreciated.
