We are now four months in to 2025 and don't have as many updates as we normally would. The cuts by the Trump Administration had a direct affect on the organizations we partner with that help refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers who have legally entered our country. So many have had to close their doors and cease operations. But there are still so many families who have survived conflicts or disaster and have had to rebuild their lives. We are connecting with them and continuing our mission of providing new keepsakes for these families.
As the year progresses, we are confident we will have more and more updates to give.
Even though our numbers are slower, we have still been able to work with numerous families. We photographed families originally from Venezuela, Afghanistan, and El Salvador. We thank them for trusting us with their stories.
We have also continued working with communities in western North Carolina who were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene over six months ago. They are still in the very early phases of reconstruction. It will be a long time before their homes and towns are rebuilt. We have fostered many relationships in the area and look forward to doing new family photos over the next couple of years.
Thank you for supporting our work and the families we photograph. We cannot do it without you.
