Announcing: HeadShots for Hope 2020

Over the past year, HeadShots Inc has been extraordinarily blessed to find success in what’s likely the most competitive photography market in the world. While a lot of this success has been through hard work, some has undoubtedly been luck and the awesomeness of our customers.

Over this year, we’ve been able to:

– Capture more than 850 Individual HeadShots Sessions

– Earn 130 5-star reviews across Google, Yelp, and Facebook

– Build relationships with 6 new corporate clients 

Based on that growth, we’ll soon be launching new HeadShots studios around the Bay Area. We could not have done this without the support of our amazing customers.

So, I’m extremely excited to announce our method for giving back. We’re calling it HeadShots for Hope, and it will take place on February 21st, 2020 at our studio in downtown San Francisco.

On this day – You will have a unique opportunity to both 1) upgrade your professional presence online via a new headshot and 2) make a real impact on women’s health and reproductive rights issue.

100% of proceeds (including CC fees) will be donated to Friends of UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) – the United Nations’ reproductive health and rights agency.

 

Who is UNFPA and Why Do They Matter?

Friends of UNFPA promotes the health, dignity, and rights of women and girls around the world by supporting the lifesaving work of UNFPA, the United Nations reproductive health and rights agency through education, advocacy, and fundraising. UNFPA is the United Nations leading entity for reproductive health and rights for all. In over 155 countries, UNFPA works to end the unmet need for family planning, to end preventable maternal deaths, and to end violence and harmful practices against women and girls.  

Your support makes it possible for women to give birth safely in crises, to leave abusive relationships, and to realize their fundamental right to decide if, when, and with whom they would like to have children. You support the health of women surviving conflict in Syria and persecution in Myanmar, the childhood of girls who are too young to become brides, and the futures of women who want to attend college and better society.
