What is a photo fundraiser?

A photo fundraiser is a campaign where supporters donate to your organization in exchange for a professional portrait experience. It’s a unique way to raise funds while giving donors something meaningful in return.

How does the fundraiser work?

Once your organization signs up, we create a custom link where donors can register. Each donor gets a full portrait package—including a design consultation, a photo session with one of our expert photographers, and a printed portrait. You receive 100% of the donation amount.

Do we need to be a nonprofit to participate?

No. We work with 501(c)(3)s, schools, alumni associations, civic groups, and professional clubs. If your group has a community of supporters, we can help you raise funds through photography.

Is there any upfront cost to the organization?

None. There’s no risk, no inventory, and no fees. We handle everything—from booking and photography to delivery—so your team can focus on promoting the campaign.

What do donors receive with their donation?

Each donor receives a Zoom design consultation, up to 90 minutes with a professional portrait photographer, and a 16x20 inch mounted print. Many choose to purchase additional prints or digitals, but there’s no obligation.

How long does it take to launch a fundraiser?

We can have your campaign up and running within 2 weeks. Once it’s live, you start receiving funds as donations come in.

Can we customize the campaign for our group?

Yes. From logos and messaging to visual branding and social media graphics, every campaign is personalized for your organization.

Preparing for your Portrait Session

Fill your questionnaire and upload your walls.

Plan your outfits. (See our color pallet guide below.)

Your photographer will reach out to confirm prior to your session.

Need help with wardrobe?

We have a few guidelines when picking your outfits.

1. For family sessions: dress Mom first! You, Mom, will always be most critical of yourself looking back so pick something you LOVE and feel super comfortable and confident in. Then use that as a spring board for everyone else's outfits.

2. Avoid any colors found in an arcade. Super bright colors will reflect onto your skin and that is very difficult to edit.

3. Avoid characters, logos and screen printing. These elements can be very distracting and make clean posing more difficult. Be sure to choose childrens shoes that do not have characters on them.

4. Having trouble picking a pallet? Perhaps choose the colors in your living room so that you know that your portraits will work seamlessly in your home. When in doubt, dress to match your couch!

After your session: What to expect for your ordering appointment

We will look through all of your portraits one by one to pick which pieces you LOVE.

We will walk you though picking the best display options for your home.

We will finalize payment for your order and get your pieces into production. All artwork will be shipped directly to your home.

Together, we will choose the artwork that fits best in your home.

The photos of your walls that you send us in the questionnaire above will be used to determine the best arrangement and size for your pieces!

Please note:

All decision makers should be present.

We are so excited to create amazing pieces with you. We will be taking your order at this appointment and to be fair to our other clients schedules, we must charge $75 for additional appointments. Please ensure anyone who may have strong opinions about your order are present for the meeting.

All sales are final.

Due to the custom nature of our products and our quick turnaround time, your artwork will go into production immediately following your ordering appointment. We will not be able to make changes after that appointment. Thank you for understanding!

Please join your meeting on a computer.

We want to make sure you can see your images clearly and that can be difficult on a mobile device. We recommend using a computer or some of our clients even choose to watch on a projector or home theater! Feel free to break open a treat or glass of your favorite beverage!
