Covid-19 Donation Relief at Chicago Boudoir Photography
This Coronavirus pandemic has turned all of our lives upside-down. Yours, mine and everyone’s.
Some people have been harder hit than others and I wanted to find a way to give back to those in our community who really need a boost.
The best way that I know how to give back is through the boudoir studio. I partnered with Soul and Smoke, a local catering company that is delivery contact-free meals to those in need and to our frontline works (ER doctors, ICU nurses, respiratory therapists etc). I am amazed at the wonderful work that Soul and Smoke is doing to help those in need right now.
Here’s a video where I explain a bit more about my partnership with Soul and Smoke and how together we are helping those in need:
For those who donate $99 to Covid relief through Soul and Smoke, I am gifting a $379 gift certificate toward a photo shoot at the Chicago Boudoir Photography studio in return.
This includes:
💜 A 4-hour Boudoir Shoot Experience
💜 Professional Makeup and Hairstyling
💜 Expert Wardrobe Advice and Styling
💜 Access to Our Prop & Shoe Closet
💜 Posing Direction for Every Body Type
It’s a way for women to give back to the community RIGHT NOW, but also have a photo shoot experience to look forward to when everything opens up again.
I was absolutely blown away by the response and the donations that came pouring in.
In less than 8 hours, we raised $1000.
It was incredible to see our community come together in this way! Many of the women who donated are in my VIP Group for Empowered Women of Chicago, a group of 5,000+ local women who know how to get stuff done!
In less than a week, we raised $2000. I had initially planned to order a giant check to present to Soul & Smoke, but with the print shops closed, I had my daughter make one for me:
Here’s an email that Soul & Smoke sent out that outlines the work that they have been able to do with donations from the community, including donations that came in through Chicago Boudoir Photography:
Here are some photos of Soul & Smoke making a food delivery to the workers at the Three Crowns care facility in Evanston, IL:
We are so grateful for the support we’ve received in this effort!
A giant THANK YOU to everyone who donated! I am so grateful for the generosity of our community and excited to see so many of you in the studio for a fun boudoir shoot!!!
