The Front Steps Project // Seattle
Hello Seattle Friends,
We're all living through strange times and while social distancing is necessary, so is finding ways to give back to our community. One of our neighbors shared the #TheFrontStepsProject (started in Massachusetts) with me and I loved it so much, I plan on doing the same here in Seattle.
#TheFrontStepsProject bring us together virtually despite being - and maybe feeling - isolated. We aim to highlight the faces of our community during a time when we might not see them in passing at the grocery store, coffee shop, on the train or at the gym. We may be temporarily separated, but we are always united.
BENEFITING NORTHWEST HARVEST:
Your participation will help benefit Northwest Harvest, whose vision is to help end hunger in Washington State. There are so many people in need access to food right here in our own community. And now, more than ever it is SO important that we keep in mind that low-income families are going to be disproportionately affected by the COVID-19.
HOW THIS WORKS:
1. You make a donation to Northwest Harvest (suggested $100 donation) here on Go Fund Me.
2. You sign up for time window day that I will be in your Seattle neighborhood.

(Please note that the remaining of these sessions are for May 2020 as the national #TheFrontStepsProject has asked all photographers taking part in this volunteer project to take a pause with state stay home mandates.)
3. You will know when I am arriving by text! When I drive by and be least 10 feet away with my camera. You gather on your front steps. I briefly photograph you guys ( families, solo, couples, with pets, etc. anyone) on your front steps, again from afar. 5-10 minutes max.
4. The next day you will receive a gallery link to your photos to download, share, and have a memory of forever.
I will be posting these images on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #TheFrontStepsProject as part of a national community of neighbors.
SIGN UP. GIVE A DONATION. MAKE SOME MEMORIES.
We're all in this together!
