"The purpose of life is to discover your gift, the meaning of life is to give it away"    -Unknown

One of the cornerstones of our studio is our belief in giving back to the community and in offering help to those who may be able to benefit from the gifts that we have been given in our lives.  On this page, you will find several organizations that we are involved in.  If you know anybody who could benefit from these services, please let us know.

Remember to always "Pay it Forward"

We are honored to have been accepted as affiliate photographers with this amazing organization which provides infant remembrance photography to parents who are dealing with the loss of an infant.  Lora is also an area coordinator in the Portland area and can answer questions from photographers, hospitals and parents. 

There are never any fees for these services.  You can get complete information on the organization and what it offers by going to the website at Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  Along with information on what we are able to provide to these families, you will also find a support forum for the families who are dealing with this loss.  This is an amazing group of people and an amazing organization.

Again, there are never any fees for these services.   If you know of any families who qualify for our services, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately.   We understand that in many circumstances, time is crucial.

Operation: Love ReUnited

Giving back to those who ask nothing more, than to come home

OpLove supports U.S. Military families by offering special sessions with a patriotic edge during their enlistment, focusing on deployments– before and more importantly, after, at their reunion when the deployment has terminated and the soldier is safely home– usually in an airport.

Operation: Love ReUnited sessions are for deploying, deployed and returning military families.  The Operation helps those long months go by a little faster. It’s designed to capture moments that you will never remember. It’s art. It’s love. And it’s all made possible by artists wanting to give something back to those who make the United States what it is, and ask for nothing in return- but to come home.

For further information on OpLove, please visit the organizations website Operation: Love Reunited or contact us directly so that we can answer your questions and set up your free session.

In addition to the sessions offered through OpLove, Lora McKnight Photography also offers a military discount to all active military whether deployed or not.  Please call us for details.
