When my friend Jamie Delaine emailed me last Fall about this idea of hers and her husband Randy’s, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that I wanted to be involved. And there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that it would be a success. Knowing their drive and their heart to serve, and more specifically in this case, their heart for the children of Haiti, it couldn’t be anything but. I’m so excited to see this come together and to join many other photographers to give back. Whether you’re a photographer or a prospective client, I hope you’ll get involved! Here’s the rundown: The School Sessions is a one-day event across the globe on Sunday, April 12, 2015 to raise $200,000 to build a school in Haiti. Portrait photographers can sign up online to photograph one (or more!) portrait sessions and donate 100% of fees to The School Sessions. $200,000 will buy land and build a ten-classroom school for 220 students. The previous building was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake and these children (ages 3 to 16) are in need of a earthquake and hurricane-proof school to learn and grow. By empowering hundreds of photographers across the world with a simple way to give back, together we will meet our goal. Join us in Making Haiti’s Future Bright. Email me at mikaela@mikaelaruth.com or fill out a contact form via my blog to book a session with me on Sunday, April 12, 2015. Engagement photos, family, newborn, maternity…100% of the fee will go to The School Sessions! Let’s make this happen, together. Can’t wait to hear from you.
