First and foremost a HUGE thanks to all the families who participated in #thefrontstepsproject with me here in Ingersoll Ontario. We have been approximately 10 weeks in covid-19 lockdown and to see new friends and old and to be able to connect from a distance has been part of my personal therapy during these tough times. I was able to shoot upwards of 115 families for the project and as a result, we managed to raise $4055 for our local food banks. On top of that, many have donated to their own charities of choice or paid it forward in some way. Warms my heart to the core.

Social photographers like me, need to shoot people and not taking photos of human interactions and connections is like cutting off my arm. Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces and being able to see how my community is doing has been such a gift. Here is most of the families that participated, making me laugh a lot and sometimes cry. Stay safe and positive and above all treat each other with kindness as we venture into the next phase of the pandemic. Here is the link to the ‘feed ontario’ donation page in case you want to contribute! Thanks again everyone and look forward to seeing you when we can :)
