Porch Portraits

Old East Village | London ON

Expanding community through photos

Saturday, June 6th, 9am-6pm

Rain date- Sunday June 7th

What are porch portraits?

A love letter to the neighbourhood I call home. OEV.

I'll be leisurely exploring our vibrant neighbourhood for the whole day, cameras in tow. I'll capture photos of you and your loved ones in your favourite spots—whether it's your front porch, steps, or lawn. Using the nostalgia of film (35mm) photography, I'll ensure each shot joyfully reflects the unique charm of our community. So kick back, relax, and let's create some timeless memories together.

But why?

I believe in the transformative power of community through art. I hope to encourage collaboration of individuals and community, locally and globally through shared love, resources, and energy.

Driven by my passion for photography and collective movement, I created this annual event that serves as a reminder that we are better TOGETHER.

Join me on this journey of connection, empowerment, and shared purpose as we capture moments, create memories, and expand our community.

What is included?

1) Two minute photo session of you and your loved ones in front of your home.

2) Two edited downloadable digital files, captured on 35mm film, delivered to your email.

3) One photo print, printed by local gem, All Things Film.

What is the cost of this experience?

This is a PAY WHAT YOU CAN event.

To confirm your spot, please send your giving through e-transfer to:
natasha.roberts99@gmail.com

My suggested donation is at least $25. If you feel unable to donate the suggested amount, no worries, I would be happy to include you in this event if funds are tricky. If you feel you have the resources to give more, please do.

100% of the money you send, will be used to send some lucky neighbour kids to camp this summer. Together, I hope to send at least 3 children to camp for a week.
The neighbourhood summer camps will include: Junction Climbing Centre, Growing Chefs and London Girls Rock Camp+.

Some important info

The photo sessions will be 2 minutes per house, so please be prepared at your designated time (which will be emailed out once we have a better idea of how many participants we have this year!).

I will be arriving by bike and since I only have 2 minutes, I apologise if I don’t stay to chat. We will catch up another time, I hope.

If it is raining, it’s still a go. If it is a downpour, we will try again the following day, on Sunday, June 7th.

Please have fun with this! If you want a serious photo, go for it. If you want to wear ridiculous costumes and make it absurd, go for it! I am happy to capture whatever fits your vibe.

You will receive an email from me 24 hours before the event to confirm your time.

You will receive the digital files from me within a month (hopefully sooner) and I will hand deliver your prints to your mailbox, as soon as Avan and his amazing team at All Things Film have them ready to pick up.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY COMMUNITY DREAMS COME TRUE
