CTW Gives Back
We are so happy to be able to offer CTW Gives Back Charity sessions. You can find the application here.
We believe in the power of photography to capture moments and preserve memories. At the same time, we recognize that life circumstances sometimes prevent well-deserving individuals and families from accessing high-quality photography services. Sometimes, the moments we most desperately want captured are at a time where circumstances would otherwise make it impossible. Perhaps it’s a high school senior with limited resources but who has done everything in their power to defy the odds, a family facing loss of home or life, someone battling terminal illness, a survivor of trauma…no matter, know that our goal is to provide these charity sessions, as we are able, while demonstrating our compassion, love and support.
Are There Requirements?
There are no specific requirements for applicants to demonstrate financial need. There is no expectation of payment or compensation for these limited availability sessions. That said, we do ask that you “pay it forward” in any and every way possible if and when you are able. Please also consider tagging CTW Photography in your posts and give us credit for any and all use of photos…doing so will help spread the word about our business and about this program so that we can continue to support it in the future.
What to Expect
Unfortunately, as a small business with a small team, we are unable to accept every request for charity services. We will reach out to applicants ONLY if they are selected. Please do not submit an application more than once. If you have not heard back from us about a session, please note that there are other larger, regional and national networks of photographers offering similar services, usually based on specific groups (e.g. cancer diagnosis, infant loss, etc).
For selected applicants, the circumstances of our meeting will be tailored to fit your situation. Most likely, your Gives Back session will be 20-60 minutes with one photographer. We will be in touch with you before the session to decide on the best time and location. As always, we aim to capture the moment and make the session as easy and comfortable for you as possible.
