Giving Back

I believe in using my lens for more than just beautiful portraits—I use it to give back. Every year, I donate my time, talent, and artwork to support organizations doing vital work for animals and their humans.

From silent auctions that fund psychiatric service dogs for veterans to calendar contests that raise money for rescue and advocacy groups, these campaigns are close to my heart.

Explore the current initiatives below—or see how you can get involved.

Shelter to Soldier Silent Auction

Each year, I donate a full portrait session and custom artwork package to Shelter to Soldier’s silent auction. This event raises essential funds to support the organization’s mission of rescuing shelter dogs and training them as psychiatric service animals for post-9/11 veterans.

Annual Calendar Contest

This community-driven fundraiser supports animal advocacy work throughout Southern California. Participants submit photos of their dogs, collect votes, and compete for a featured spot in a professionally designed, limited-edition calendar. All proceeds benefit a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and protecting animals.

Ongoing Giving: 2% to Animal Advocacy

Every full-priced purchase helps give back. Throughout the year, I donate 2% of my sales proceeds from non-discounted sessions and artwork to an animal advocacy organization of my client’s choice.

You can select from a list of trusted partners I regularly support—or choose a nonprofit that speaks to your heart. It’s one small way we can make a big difference together.
