If it is to be it is up to me.

Giving back, pitching in, and rolling up your sleeves is one of the most rewarding things one can do. It would be easy to simply open my checkbook and make a donation, but I prefer instead to provide something for which there is often no budget: photographs that can create change and raise awareness. Whether donating portrait services for an auction, offering discounts to non-profits, or stepping in to fill a need, my proudest moments have been in helping tell these stories.
