Baby wearing Collection Update

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who is interested in donating a baby carrier to help fellow moms and dads who are fleeing their homes.  If you’d like to read more about this effort or are wondering what you’re missing, please visit my last post here.

If you’d like to donate a carrier, there are several ways you can participate.

1. If you are NOT local to Gainesville, you can ship a carrier directly to Carry the Future at 121 W. Lexington Drive, Suite L 106D, Glendale, CA 91203.
2.  If you are local to Gainesville and still wearing a baby/toddler, I will be offering my photography services to those who donate a carrier. Sessions will take place on Saturday, January 16th, 2016.  You can sign up for a session by using this form. Please see the details below!!
3. If you are local to Gainesville and not wearing any babies (i.e. you don’t need baby wearing photos), I can arrange to pick-up a carrier from you.  I was going to set up a drop box, but after hearing about drop box theft from other Carry the Future volunteers across the country (sad, I know), I decided against it.  If you have friends that would like to donate a carrier and you can round them up to lighten my pick-up load, that would be AWESOME and greatly appreciated! Just email me to let me know you have a contribution!

Babywearing Mini Session Information

Sessions will take place during the morning and early afternoon of January 16, 2016 in the Thomas Center Gardens.  When you sign up with this form, I will ask for your time preference and do my best to accommodate you, but of course, I cannot guarantee a specific time to any individual person.  I’ll get times to everyone by the end of the month. You must have your baby or toddler wrapped or in the carrier by the time your session starts.  Sessions will be 10 minutes long and I will provide at least ONE full resolution digital image with printing rights via an online gallery link.  Children other than the one being worn are welcome at the session, although I will not be taking individual portraits.  The focus of the session is on baby wearing, so anyone other than the wearer/wearee will only appear in a group shot.  Please keep in mind that this is a very specific type of session for charity and not a family session in the traditional sense. And of course, bring your donation carrier with you! (Remember, only buckle carriers or em this are currently being accepted.  No wraps or slings at the time.)
