In 2013 I created my first charity: water campaign and traded photo sessions for donations that went to Cambodia to help build biosand filters. I was incredibly inspired by how quickly we reached the donation goal. This summer we got an update on the biosand project in Cambodia and it was so fulfilling to see these communities have access to clean water. Because of that, I am back at it again! I'm hoping you will help! Donations in any amount are welcome, but there are a couple of different milestones this year.

All donations: Hugs and high faves when I see you

$50 donation: 8x10 Chicago Skyline Print [your choice, let's dress up your wall!]

$75 donation: Professional Headshot [everyone wants to look good on LinkedIn, right?

$125 donation: 30 Minute Mini-Session [portrait session must be within 20 miles of Chicago]

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
