World AIDS Day / nj charity photographer

In order to honor a day close to my heart, World AIDS Day, December 1, 2009 - I'm pledging to donate 10% of my profits from any boudoir sessions booked during the month of December to the Hyacinth AIDS Foundation.

Why am I doing this?

On October 31, 2009 I had the pleasure of donating my talent and time to a charity fashion show that donated all proceeds from the event to the Hyacinth AIDS Foundation. I was touched but this event, as I have known a few who have lived and died from HIV/AIDS in my lifetime.

I was shocked to find out the over 35% of HIV/AIDS cases in New Jersey are female. In addition, NJ ranks 5th in our country for the number of cumulative AIDS cases and 3rd in the number of reported HIV cases among adults/adolescents. Among the 50 States, New Jersey had one of the highest proportion of females among persons living with AIDS. Unfortunately, many women who contract HIV/AIDS are unaware that their partners have the disease.
