When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I wanted to make a positive contribution to my community.  I was inspired by, “The Front Steps Project” where photographers nationwide documented families outside of their homes, donating their time to raise money for local non-profits. A portrait specialist for over two decades, this was a perfect fit for me. 

People were photographed in exchange for a donation to my partner, Foodshare, the Feeding America food bank serving central Connecticut. With the help of neighbors and friends, I raised more than $5,000 for the organization and connected with so many of my neighbors.
