If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m very passionate about foster care. Ever since we got involved my heart felt the need to serve in different ways to the foster care community. In 2020 I came up with an idea to do a photo-donation swap and it was AMAZING! All my mini sessions completely booked out both times!
Basically, foster parents and families get a call any time of day asking if they’re able to take a child who has entered the foster care system. If they say yes, foster families scramble to find ways to prepare for that child who may be in their home in an hour or a few days! That’s where the Blackfoot closet “The Village” comes in. Foster families can go pick out things that are needed for their foster kids. This can be gently used clothes, school supplies, diapers and wipes, baby supplies, toys, etc. All these donation go straight to the foster families and the kids who need them!
So I’ve decided to do something to help out. I’m doing a donation photo swap! Here’s how it works.
Bring a bag (or 2) of donations for the foster closet. Some ideas of donations are:
•New or gently used clothes newborn-18 years old
•Diapers
•Wipes
•School supplies (crayons, pencils, notebooks, lunch boxes etc.)
•Hygiene items or kits
•Toys! Used or new
•Baby items (strollers, cribs, diaper bags etc.)
Below is a list of all items accepted by The Village.
I’ll have my truck and we can put any items you want to donate in the back and I will take the items to the Foster closet in Blackfoot. In exchange you’ll get a 15 minutes session with at least 10 high resolution images and a print release! The sessions will be taking place in Rigby. It’s a donation and photo swap! Sessions can be couples, portraits or families up to 6 people! These sessions are extremely limited at this time since my May is already crazy booked but foster care is near and dear to my heart and this is one of the ways I love to serve and donate!
