Annual Holiday Photo Sessions for Charity

Once Upon a Time

Before coaching became my full-time passion, I was a professional photographer. I traveled across the country, captured hundreds of weddings, won awards, and created fine-art long-exposure pieces that found their way into homes and galleries. What started as a hobby turned into a career I loved.

Now, once a year, I bring the camera back out for a short run of shoots. It is a creative reset and a way to give back. Myself and a group of like-minded dads choose a charity before Christmas and each find our own way to raise funds.

The Cause

This year, 75% of all proceeds will go to CFAX Santa’s Anonymous, helping kids in need this Christmas. The remaining 25% covers production costs, gear, editing time, and a well-earned spa day for my wife for solo parenting while I am out shooting.

Goal: $5,000 raised before Christmas.
Every session helps us get closer to that number.
