Doing free sessions for tornado victims

12 years 2 weeks ago #223083 by Amberfarley80
A couple weeks ago the northwest part of my state was devastated by tornadoes...And a lot of people have lost everything and i was thinking of setting up three or more days to make the trip up there to offer family portraits for free...I was looking for some opinions on this..I plan on contacting the Oklahoma Red Cross to help me get in contact with the right people to set this up..What Do you think about the idea?

Great idea !! Nice to see someone that cares..........:beerbang:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Probably a good idea to go thru the Red Cross. It might be early in the recovery process for people to be thinking about getting portraits to replace photos they lost, but it could be a great service you could offer sometime. I wonder if they need people to help photograph property damage for families to be able to go thru insurance or federal assistance to be able to rebuild. Nice thought on your part.
