GIVING BACK

There is a divine plan of goodness for my work- The Artist's Way

Reenie strongly believes that her gift can make a difference in the long run. She focuses on charities that matter to her.

In May Reenie, in conjunction with other Montclair businesses, hosts her annual “Unleashed” fundraiser to raise money for a selected animal rescue foundation. $50 from every session will go directly to support animals finding safe homes.

A member of Professional Photographers of America, she supports Operation Smile Operation Smile, whose mission it is to repair cleft palates for children living in third world countries. In February each Business Plan Session goes to pay for one child's surgery. In addition she is planning a trip to Paraguay to document the transformation of a smile.

Also a PPA Charity, Reenie has been chosen to participate in Now I Lay me Down to Sleep. When she is notified, she drops everything and rushes to the hospital to document a family with a terminally ill infant. Her glorious gift allows the family time to grieve properly.

Each year Reenie donates five family portrait sessions to benefit Oakland Public schools.
