Magic Hour Foundation

I am thrilled & honored to be accepted as a Photographer for
Magic Hour Foundation!

"Magic Hour refers to the half hour at the beginning and ending of each day as the sun transitions and casts a golden yellow glow. It is light at its most beautiful and photographers will wait to capture it. Our recipients are in the magic hours of their lives - some are transitioning out of life on this earth and we aim to capture their beauty and preserve it for their families. Some have overcome and are transitioning into a life with more clarity and purpose, disease-free. We want all cancer warriors to have the opportunity to remember how beautiful they are and how poignant this time is in their life and the lives of their families - free of charge and free of complication."

For the UnderDogs!

For the past year I have been volunteering for "Hearts of Hope", a local dog rescue group. I meet up with them every few weeks & take pictures of the rescue dogs in hopes of bettering their chance at being adopted. A good picture can make a HUGE difference for them! Have you ever looked at the pictures on pet finder? Usually not so good. Hearts of Hope is a wonderful group of people with huge hearts for rescue dogs!

Also for the past year I have been a member of HeArts Speak. "HeARTs Speak’s mission is to unite the individual efforts of animal artists and animal rescues into collective action for social change."

Lastly, I am very excited to be a part of the 2013 "Paws for Charity" coffee table book. There are 90 participants from around the world involved! All proceeds from the book go to Sheltering Helpless Animals In Distress (SHAID.ca), an animal shelter in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The book will be available in a few weeks!!!

Here is what my page will look like in the book :)
