I am a volunteer photographer for the Minnesota Heart Gallery. The Minnesota Heart Gallery is a non-profit organization that uses portrait sessions of youth in the MN foster care system to put a face on the often invisible population of youth and teens in need of permanent families. The mission of the Minnesota Heart Gallery is to help children and teens living in foster care find permanent and committed families, and to raise community awareness of our shared responsibility to each of these youth. Minnesota Heart Gallery helps to restore a sense of belonging, dignity and hope in the lives of foster children and teens. http://www.minnesotaheartgallery.org/
I am a volunteer photographer for Special Olympics Minnesota. Special Olympics offers children and adults with intellectual disabilities year-round sports training and competition. Through Special Olympics’ athletic, health and leadership programs, people with intellectual disabilities transform themselves, their communities and the world. http://specialolympicsminnesota.org/
