The Hope & Healing Session is a cornerstone of Healing Lens Photography's mission, specifically designed for individuals and families facing significant financial hardship as they navigate medical or trauma-related healing journeys. Offered either at no cost or a substantially reduced rate, these sessions are made possible through the generous support of our "Pay It Forward" contributions and Patreon community.
Recognizing that financial constraints should never be a barrier to capturing precious memories, the length of these sessions are 30 minutes and the number of included professionally edited digital images 5-10 images with a model release for printing.
Eligibility for a "Hope & Healing" Session is determined through a brief and compassionate inquiry process, ensuring that we can best serve those with the greatest need. Our unwavering commitment is to provide the same level of professional, empathetic, and heartfelt service that defines all of our sessions, ensuring that these families also have the invaluable opportunity to preserve their unique stories of strength and hope.

Our Basic Session, offers a focused 30-minute photography experience specifically tailored for individuals or small families navigating medical and trauma-related healing journeys.
We understand the importance of capturing moments of strength and connection during these times, and this session is designed to provide a few key portraits that can be cherished. You will be guided with professional posing and a gentle approach to ensure comfort throughout the session.
Following our time together, we will carefully select and professionally edit 5-10 high-resolution digital images, delivered to you through a private online gallery for easy access and sharing. This session provides a meaningful opportunity to preserve these significant moments with care and compassion.

Our Extended Session offers a more in-depth photography experience, providing approximately 30-45 minutes of dedicated shooting time for individuals, couples, or families navigating medical and trauma recovery.
This longer session allows for greater flexibility in exploring various poses, backgrounds, and combinations of people, enabling us to capture a more comprehensive collection of cherished moments. You will receive gentle and professional guidance to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
As part of this tier, you will receive a larger selection of 10-15 professionally edited high-resolution digital images available for download via a private online gallery. You will also have the option to purchase additional digital images or prints should you wish to further commemorate your journey. This session provides a wonderful opportunity to create a more extensive visual story of strength, connection, and hope.

The "Making a Difference" session, priced at $150, offers an extended and deeply personalized photography experience lasting approximately 45-60 minutes.
Designed for individuals, couples, or families navigating medical and trauma-related healing journeys, this session provides more dedicated attention to capture your unique moments and the special connections you share. You will receive gentle guidance throughout to ensure a comfortable and authentic experience.
This premium collection includes 20-30 beautifully edited high-resolution digital images, delivered through a private online gallery where you'll also find convenient options for ordering professional-quality prints to treasure for years to come.
Most importantly, with each "Making a Difference" session you purchase, $50 of the fee is directly allocated to sponsoring a free or heavily discounted photography session for individuals and families facing terminal illness or extreme financial hardship, directly supporting our vital "no turn away" commitment.
