It is absolutely amazing to see the amount of money that has already been donated to the Red cross in support of those affected by the fires that raged through parts of Victoria last week and that still continue to rage on now. To see entire towns wiped off the map, and streets of houses turned into nothing more than piles of bricks, leaves you without words. But to see how Australians have banded together to do anything they can to help leaves a lump in my throat!
There are many photographers around Australia that are donating both session fees as well as free sessions to those directly affected. The amazing and wonderful Kris Leigh has compiled a list of photographers that are involved. so far there is 42 photographers on the list! Another amazing photographer Gemma Higgins , is putting together a blogsite called Photographers unite, which is dedicated to the victims and to the photographers donating sessions and fees (will update when the site is live).
If you are looking for a way to help or would like to donate to the fund and are not in the ACT,make sure to check out both photographers sites listed above for a list of photographers participating in your area.
If you are in the ACT area and would like to book a session with me, make your donation of $150 to the Australian red cross through their website, then email me a digital copy of your receipt and we can organize a time for your session. please note that this offer is for family portraits only and runs till the end of March.
Please support those who have lost their homes and loved ones in this tragedy!
