One commitment that I have made as a photographer is to participate in the organization, HeARTs Speak— a nationally recognized nonprofit that’s uniting art and advocacy to increase the visibility of shelter animals. First impressions have a huge impact in the adoption rates of shelter pets. Great images give homeless animals an improved chance of finding a forever home and not being put down because of they haven’t yet been adopted. As often as possible, I will provide my services pro bono to animal shelters or rescues who need my services.
