Oh hey! SO glad you ended up here. I am sure you saw the word Mission in the category session and thought, " mission? why would a photography business have a mission? or is this a section to order mission tortilla chips?" Both scenarios could play out. Throughout the years I have witnessed many clients experience hardships, losses, triumphs, and everything in between. I have been blessed to also learn about different Charities and Non-profit organizations in our area that work everyday to better the lives of others. I have felt a knocking on my heart for a long time about how to create real change in my community and the lives of others but nothing ever seemed to make sense. It came into focus for me after my best friend's brother was diagnosed with Brain cancer. The community rallied to provide financial aid for him and his family. I thought, " I'll give 20% of my session costs and that will help a tiny bit." My old clients and new clients quickly rallied just like our community did and we got to not only document photos we will have forever, but we did a little more. After my promotion ended, it suddenly felt like I had a void in my heart again. It hit me like a ton of bricks. "HEY!!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST MAKE THIS A FULL TIME THING AND DONATE FROM EVERY SESSION YOU DO?? WHO SAID YOU HAD TO STOP?" So, this leads me to the new meaning and I suppose, "Mission" of Jazmin Ciara Photography. "Photos with Purpose." 10% of EVERY Jazmin Ciara Photography session will go directly to a charity, a non-profit, OR a gofundme/lend a hand up account to help those in need. REGARDLESS of the need. This is about giving back. This is about removing barriers. This is about getting to capture moments of everything beautiful in this life while knowing that you are making a difference. Photos with purpose.
Here is how it works:
At the start of each month, I will ask for nominations on my Facebook and Instagram business pages for where fans/clients would like the 10% of each session to go during that specific month. For ex: September-- 10% of each session goes to the YWCA (just an example) I will either go by most votes or will have a computer program select the nominations at random.
Thanks for being here, thanks for supporting me for 10 whole years. Thank you for letting me capture Photos with Purpose.
xoxo
