In the months leading up to my decision to start up an official photography business, I wrestled with the idea of earning money doing something which, in its purest form, is a luxury. Perhaps it's the fact that my family of origin, back several generations, were employed almost exclusively in education and farming. I didn't stray terribly far from the tree in my decision to pursue a career in nursing. Even in earning a living, I felt it was important to provide a necessary service to others.
How, in this new venture, could I continue that service? Even though a beautiful photograph can capture and preserve a fleeting expression, a subtle nuance, a face too-soon fading to memory, I wanted Rachel 6 to do more. There are so many hurting people in this world, and how could I make even a small difference in these lives?
It's not complicated. It's not innovative. But it's how I've chosen to share what I have been given. And it motivates me to tend and water this little seedling of a business.
TAKE TEN.
Ten cents of every dollar earned by Rachel 6 Photography will be donated to a charity of my choosing, a different one each year. Look for a profile of the chosen charity in the "TAKE TEN" tab at the top of the page.
