Family portraits give a reason to smile

FALLBROOK – Across the nation, photographers have joined together in their communities to take part in The Front Steps Project with hasthtag #frontstepsproject, which started in Needham, Massachusetts, March 17. The photographers are going around their towns taking photos of families posing on their front steps to help them cope with the "stay at home" order due to COVID-19.

Local resident Sarah Middleton said, "I know my photography business is not essential, and I am by no means trying to run my business right now, I'm offering these photos for free to put smiles on faces and encourage others to pass on a good need to someone in need."

Of her experiences so far with taking these photos, Middleton said, "When these families emerge on their doorsteps their faces light up. In fact, many have told me that this is the first time in weeks they have had a reason to dress up or get ready and others were so excited to do something silly or hold signs that the family made together, it makes me feel great and humbled to give such a gift and share so much joy during this crazy emotional time that will forever go down in history."

All photos are taken from at least 10-15 feet away to ensure social distancing safety. Anyone wanting to have their family's picture taken can contact Middleton at [email protected].
