Hello ! Have you been here before? If not, welcome I’d love to share something that is dear to my heart.
I’m Jen, the lead photographer at Photography From The Soul. Photography has always been about more than creating beautiful images for me. It is a way to connect with people, tell meaningful stories, and use the gifts I have been given to serve others.
Two years ago, I had the honour of travelling to Nicaragua, where I met some incredible people through an organization called Haven Heart. Their stories, kindness, and resilience left a lasting impact on me.
Since returning home, my family and I have been sponsoring three children by helping provide school supplies and monthly groceries. However, I quickly realized there are many more needs than we can meet on our own.
That is when I felt called to use my photography as a way to give back.
This summer and fall, Photography From The Soul is offering special mini sessions to raise funds for a beautiful family in Nicaragua. A young mother is raising three boys on her own: Eduardo and Ricardo, 3 year old twins, and their older brother.
Their current home is unsafe and slowly falling apart. The walls, roof, and floors are deteriorating, and they need a secure place to live.
The cost to build their new home is $7,000.
For these sessions, we are setting aside the business side of photography and using our cameras as a way to serve. Every dollar from every session will go directly toward this project.
Not a portion. Not a percentage. Every. Single. Dollar.
How it works:
✨ Book a 20 minute golden hour mini session at one of our beautiful outdoor locations
✨ Make your payment directly through the charity’s fundraising link. Funds never pass through us.
✨ Receive an automatic charitable donation receipt
✨ Enjoy a beautiful photography experience with your loved ones
✨ Receive 10 professionally edited digital images
Together, we can help create a safer future for these children (unfortunately I can’t share their pictures online, but I am happy to show you their pic when we meet).
Session Details:
✅ 100% of every session goes directly to the charity
✅ $180 per session
✅ Charitable donation receipt provided
✅ Gift certificates available. Purchase now and use anytime within 12 months
Thank you for being part of something bigger than photography. ❤️
The photos shared here are some of the images I captured two years ago when I visited the community where these boys and other families live. Seeing their reality firsthand changed my perspective, and I hope sharing their story inspires others to be part of this mission.
If you are not ready to book a session but would still like to contribute, you can make a donation of any amount through the fundraising link below.
If you know someone who may want to book a session or support this cause, please share this with them. Every share helps spread the word.
And if you cannot join us for a session this year, you can still participate by purchasing one of the 10 available gift certificates. Andi, my associate photographer is also generously donating her time and photographing one of the session dates completely free to support this cause.
Thank you for helping us use photography to bring hope and love to a family who deserves a safe place to call home.

These photos and video show a neighboring house alongside the safe home built by Haven Heart and why this work matters.
These children live right next to a garbage dump; one house sits directly in front of it. In the video, you'll see Ricardo and Eduardo’s house, the kids we're hoping to build a safer home for. Their current home has walls that are collapsing and on the verge of falling, and a roof full of holes.
With your support, we can give them a safer place to live.
