$50 Photo Sessions.......ALL proceeds go to help Samoa

In an effort to help the people of Samoa I will be joining my good friend Pua and doing photo shoots for the next 3 weeks. Pua will be doing her shoots in Seattle and I will be in Southern California. All photo shoots will be $50 and 100% of that will go to aid in relief for families. My heart just breaks watching these videos especially where young children have passed on. I almost feel helpless here in the states. I want to help but don't know how or what to do being this far away..... and feel the only thing I can do is offer my services and send that money to Samoa.

Such a great thing you are doing with the money you earn with these shoots. Good luck, and I wish I could go down to So Cal and have you shoot me for 50 bucks so I can help.
