The Front Steps Project Sydney ❤️was inspired as a result of COVID-19 where families were forced to be in isolation. This was a moment in time that needed to be documented as it affected all of us globally! When I heard about the Front Steps Project in the US, I knew I had to bring it here to my community, not only to document this time, and an opportunity for our community to connect during isolation, but also to give back in some way. The duration of the project was 8 weeks, raising a total of $2,400 for Georges River Life Care, a local charity that supports people in desperate need in our community. Thank you to ALL the 48 families who participated in the project, it was so lovely to meet you all! The overall response from everyone was so wonderful and heartfelt.
The shared imagery of this project certainly lifted our spirits by spreading love and hope in our community. Families were spending so much time together, and I could sense family bonds strengthening and a greater appreciation for each other. Having these portraits allowed families to live in the moment, create fun memories, and hopefully remember this time in quarantine with greater positivity and hope rather than fear, because for me personally, it did just that.❤️
