When you do good things...good things happen.
So do good
That's what drives our ship here.
The guiding value of Mandi Lynn photography is "Love"
If we have a decision we have to make we first run it through our "Love filter" .... Will our action make the world a better or worse place for future generations? If it doesn't pass the test it doesn't happen.
Yes, we are idealistic and always have been. Never really seems to be a problem though and it has lead to some pretty cool things.
Mandi Lynn Photography was started on an Organic Permaculture Blueberry Farm which means that some of that ideology had to rub off some how... and it did. Permaculture is a form of agriculture that respects the connectedness of all things.
So it is really no surprise, that Mandi Lynn Photography is committed to being connected and supportive of the community in which it serves.
The primary goal of our charity work revolves around the following concept:
Babies and Children have a Fundamental Right to be Loved and treated with respect.
We believe in the rights of children to be adored and loved and supported right from the start! So we support causes that further that aim.
The cool thing is that when we pick a cause
- The Charity wins (they get extra financial support),
- The photography clients win (they often get a special package for helping the cause)
- We win - we get more clients and more good karma ...sometimes good press too.
Currently we are supporting two primary causes one local and one international.
- We are helping to fund a teacher for a village in Nepal so that the children don't have to leave their parents to get an education by making the Blueberry Farm Kids Book
- And we are raising money to buy chairs for the Hutt Hospital's Neonatal Unit so that family's can stay skin to skin with their premature infant.
