One of my favorite photography assignments is with non-profit and charity activities and events. In these situations the organizations, community groups and sports leagues don’t typically have big budgets to afford top quality professional photography. It is a great pleasure for me to put that work within easy reach of groups that wouldn’t normally have an opportunity to hire a service like this. This often means working for free or well below the actual cost, and finding creative ways to make the work affordable to do.

The costs to do the work in terms of equipment, travel and time, as well as the website for displaying it all nicely, isn’t trivial. I feel it is well worth that extra effort and expense when I see that people are pleased with their photos. It is very nice when a specially appreciative person wants to express thanks and return the kindness in some way. Every little bit helps keep me going!

If you’d like to contribute something I would be most grateful. The PayPal button below will put one item in your cart, “Shooting For The Stars Contribution – $1”, and then take you to the secure checkout (you don’t need a PayPal account to use the secure checkout). While in the checkout you have the option to change the Quantity of that $1 item to arrive at any total you like.




If you’d like to show appreciation in other ways there are other things you might do which would help make it possible for me to continue providing this work:

  • When you’re on social media please share the ShootingForTheStars.com main page or any photo or gallery page.
  • If you have a website or blog, please link to ShootingForTheStars.com to help more people find the site.
  • In any comment box on the site please provide a comment or feedback on the work.
  • Please leave a comment on the reviews and testimonials page.
  • Consider having me out to shoot some photos for you, your group or special event. Any opportunities to do more good work and give it some visibility is a great win-win for both of us!

Thank you!
