Giving Back

At Light Drawn Studios, we are committed to inspiring the human spirit... inspiring people to love more, remember more, give more, feel more.  It is with that philosophy that each portrait is created. We believe that we are all born with unique gifts and it is our job to use those gifts to give back to our community. With that philosophy in mind, we hand-select the charities we give to and have created special portrait sessions for a few of them which helps raise funds for those organizations. 

Angel Portraits

SUPPORTING WINGS:

It is through our commitment to inspire the human spirit, that Chicago based, world renowned portrait artist, April Graves created Beautiful Things with Wings – a treasury of ethereal and whimsical fairy, angel, and aviator portraits. Session fees from these portraits are donated to support the women and children who use WINGS as a refuge from domestic violence and each year these images are compiled into calendars and sold to help WINGS put an end to domestic violence in the Chicago area. It only takes $100 to give a women and her children one night of safety!
