Cultivating the seeds of change through moments of love.
MINI SESSION SIGN-UPS
All proceeds from this mini session will be split evenly between the American Civil Liberties Union, Equal Justice Initiative, and Black Lives Matter Global Network
In resonance with my intent to cultivate a community of awakening and liberation, and in recognition of the historical and systemic impacts of oppression in the US of minoritized groups, I am planning a day of mini-sessions in order to help fund some of the many organizations working to bring about change. There are so many amazing organizations out there and it is impossible to chose, so I highly encourage everyone to donate what they can to the organizations that speak to them the most. I have provided a few resources at the bottom of this page on organizations that could use your help.
Mini Sessions for Change

What is a mini-session
A mini session is a shortened 25 minute photoshoot where all you have to do is show up! These are great sessions for family photos, best friend photos, couples, pets, siblings, you name it! You book the time slot, and show up with the people you love for 25 minutes, and you will receive 20 edited images in an online gallery for you to download! Easy as that!
Where is it located?

Can't attend the mini-session but still want to help?
There are tons of ways you can help! I think the first thing you need to do is listen and learn! There are tons of great documentaries and biopics all over the major streaming services right now. Once you feel like you have a little bit more information, let your voice be heard! It is all of our individual responsibilities to speak up for each other and fight for change. One of the easiest ways to help is with your wallet! There are so many great organizations out there that have been working hard to effect change. Our dollars can help fund that work! One of the most important ways we can participate in our communities is to VOTE! This is a right that we all should be given, unfortunately not everyone has that right. So if you are registered to vote, do it with meaning, and if you aren't registered to vote, do it here and now!
Here are some resources to help you get started! Please know that there are so many of these resources out there and I cant list them all, so let this be a starting point for you and don't let these lists stop you from finding more!

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

Why are the proceeds being donated?
Because Harmony Molina Photography knows that Black Lives Matter! I also know that actions speak louder than words. And although I have used my platform to speak up about the issues I care about, I know that one way I can really help is by donating money to organizations that are doing the work to dismantle systems of oppression in our country. And then I came up with the idea of mini-sessions! These are a unique way of getting our community involved in a positive way that allows us all to cultivate seeds of change through moments of love.
