I love it when a plan comes together so beautifully. I had the pleasure of meeting Rebecca Wofford and Kristin Steele co-directors of The Lunch Project at a recent lecture. I was so taken by their simple message of hope that I asked to meet with them to discuss how my photography could help their philanthropic organization. We came up with a lot of ideas, one of which I am pleased to share with you ~ I’ll be offering special portrait mini-sessions at the McGill Rose Garden in Charlotte, NC, to benefit The Lunch Project. The sessions will take place Sunday April 22, 2012 from 4 pm till twilight. I’ll be offering 20-minute sessions for $75 (a fraction of my session fee) and will donate $60 from each session to The Lunch Project. Bring your family to the garden and create a special portrait for Mother’s Day and support a worthy cause. Each participant will receive a complimentary 5×7 matted gift print in my signature pear green box, festooned with tissue and ribbon, perfect for gift-giving. In the coming days, I’ll highlight The Lunch Project and the McGill Rose Garden in blog posts. The McGill Rose Garden is an urban treasure — a historic public rose garden tucked in between the First Ward Garden District and the NoDa Historic Arts District. The Lunch Project serves to provide long-term financial support to enable Tanzanian mothers to cook and serve a nutritional meal to schoolchildren in Tanzanian primary schools so children will be better equipped to learn. Please contact me at nanine@naninephoto.com to reserve your portrait mini-session time in the Rose Garden.
