As I sit down on this last day of the most interesting (There are a few other adjectives you could use 😀) year of my Life, I am thankful for all of God’s abundant blessings and protection. I am thankful for the abundant material and spiritual blessings I have received not just individually but as a family this year. This year has helped my Husband and I to meditate on our priorities and forge a new path.
We have always dreamt of making “giving” the number one priority of our lives and as a first step, we have decided to make Polished Arrow Photography a vehicle of blessing. Starting January 1st 2021, we will be giving away 70% of the service fees we charge for weddings to one of the below listed organizations. Our clients can pick one or multiple organizations from this list to decide where their service fees would go.
We will be actively adding both local and international organizations to this list. I am super excited and stoked to be able to do this and look forward to reducing our overhead so that we can give a higher percentage in the future.
