The Family Album

Facilitators: Virginia Becker and the Family Album Project

The Family Album Project is a team of seasoned photographers who donate their services to nonprofits and communities. Having noticed a loss of family portraiture in our digital age, they mourn the loss of heirloom photographs to be passed down through generations. As a way to be of service in their area of expertise, this group takes portraits of older adults who could not otherwise afford or have access to a sitting and prints, and immediately provides free prints to the subjects. Within minutes of having your portrait taken, you’ll walk away with one 5×7 and four wallet-sized prints. If you’d prefer a group portrait, you may bring in your family members to join you for the sitting; limit is one sitting per individual.
