Why I photograph for mission-driven brands

Photography has been my passion for over 15 years, since I was in high school. I have always wanted to create images that make a positive difference in the world. When I first started out, my dream was to work for National Geographic and to document the unique cultures of the world. I realized that was a lot harder route to get into than I thought.

I now have used that passion and drive to photograph for mission-driven brands and non-profit organizations in the Denver area. I collaborate with brands that are doing positive work for the environment and their communities. My goal is to highlight their stories and help them have vibrant photos for their websites and marketing campaigns.

These projects range from a local Queer owned and women owned brewery that gives back to non-profits, to a company that is making zero-waste and toxic free cleaning products for your home. I also have worked with non-profits in Denver that help people start careers in the culinary industry and help feed the hungry in our communities.

Photographing for mission-driven brands and non-profits makes my work more meaningful. I’m not just creating pretty photos, but photos that aim to make positive change in our world. I have a stronger bond with my clients and become close friends because we have the same values. It overall makes me love what I do everyday, which is so important.

Another non-profit that I have worked with is Dream on 3. They help grant sports dreams to kids with disabilities and health issues. Their “Dream Experiences” bring the kid and their families on a weekend trip to the city where their favorite sports team is. I traveled to San Francisco with two families to go to the Golden State Warriors game. My job was to document the whole weekend and all of the fun excursions we did. Everything is paid for by the organization from the hotel to meals and activities. It is so rewarding to photograph all of the excitement on these kids faces since they have not had a very normal life. They deserve all of the fun!
