Photographers for Orlando | Seattle Portrait Photographer | Evidence of Life Photography

I still don't know how to put into words my feelings about what happened at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando on the morning of June 12, 2016. So instead I am joining a growing group of photographers from across the US and beyond to put our feelings of hurt, anger, anguish, and solidarity into action rather than words. 

Photographers for Orlando

Not only did the actions of one person change the course of life for all of the direct victims at Pulse nightclub, but it has also left tremendous scars for the LGBTQ community.

The shooting at Pulse nightclub directly effected more than just the victims that were present that night; LGBTQ communities across the country are reeling in the aftermath from this atrocious attack as well.

Photographers for Orlando is a group of professionals who are using their services to fund raise for the victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre, while supporting the LGBTQ communities across the country.

As artists, we recognize the importance of acknowledging our support for our LGBTQ friends, family and peers. We are offering photo sessions in exchange for monetary donations that will be placed into charities directly funding Pulse victims. 

How Evidence of Life Photography is Participating

#LensesforLove

We are offering a limited number of #LensesforLove 30 minute portrait sessions to raise money for the victims in Orlando. How it works:

1. Contact us and let us know you want to schedule a #LensesforLove session.
2. $50 Minimum Donation: We will collect a donation from you (via an online invoice) to directly benefit the victims in Orlando. This donation will be distributed to victims via One Orlando and/or Equality Florida. (We do not keep any portion of your donation.)
3. Session Agreement: We will decide on a date and location for our session and I will send an agreement to sign in order to reserve your date. Note that session dates are limited to the summer months (June-August). In your session agreement there will be a place to opt in or opt out of having your images shared in support and solidarity on the Photographers for Orlando website. 
4. The Portrait Session: We will meet in an agreed upon Seattle park or urban area for a 30 minute portrait session to take fabulous images of you. These can be solo images or images with a spouse, partner, friend or family members. 
5. After the session: Within 30 days of your session, you will receive 10 digital images you can download to print and share on your own or opt to purchase professional quality prints of your images through us!
