30-Day Blogging Challenge | Day 16 | Giving Back

A photo I took while volunteering during one of the CARE Project retreats in November 2016 at Bald Head Island.
I was having dinner with a great friend @laurieclaire last night and she was talking about how her boss @lizcarrollinteriors has her own incredibly successful business, raises her kids, loves her husband and still makes time to give back to the community almost every week. Hearing this story inspired me to give back this month in the best way I know how: Photography.

For ONE day only, I'll be offering 8 FREE 15-minute portrait photography sessions in downtown Wilmington on Wednesday, September 19th from 5:00pm until 6:45pm. 

All donations will go toward The Care Project, a non-profit dedicated to bringing hope to families who have children and/or adults with hearing challenges through counseling experiences aimed at the processing of the emotional stages of grief. As I myself am significantly hard-of-hearing, this non-profit hits close to home for my loved ones and me.

The Care Project offers retreats and workshops for families with children and young adults with hearing loss. At these events, these families get to see they aren't alone and that it will indeed be okay. That life doesn't get harder, it'll get easier. 

The sessions will take place at the Downtown Wilmington boardwalk at the end of Market Street: 1 Market Street, Wilmington, NC

You will receive 3 retouched digital images delivered to you via the e-mail that you use when you book your session. 

Who can go? Need a headshot? Book a session! Need a holiday family photo? Book a session, but 1 family max please. If you show up with 15 people I will be a little perturbed.

How do I prepare? Look snazzy and be ready to go at least 5 minutes prior to your slot session. Time is of essence, no outfit changes please.

How quickly do I get photos?
24-hour turnaround

For more information beyond what is provided, feel free to shoot me an e-mail at helen@visualsbyhelen.com.

    I was born and raised on the Outer Banks, and went to school at UNC-Chapel Hill for college while working summers with a local professional wedding photographer. I taught art in Atlanta, GA for a year before coming back to the OBX to start my dream of owning my own photography and graphic design business.  My husband, Jess and I met on the OBX in 2015 and moved to Wilmington, NC in June 2017  and are proud to call it our forever home. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me on my beach cruiser or fishing on our boat or surfing (terribly) at Masonboro Island. Ready for an adventure near and far so don't hesitate to give me a shout!
