The Fortitude Project
Power in Your Portrait. Purpose in Your Impact.Do Something for a Good Cause
While doing something good for yourself!
You’re invited to a fun photoshoot designed so you feel powerful, confident and magnetic plus it includes professional hair and makeup.
Every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and confident in who she is.
You'll also be featured at our celebration event at Hope Valley on November 21st. You'll go home with wall art of yourself to wake up to seeing your best self everyday!
It's a great chance to raise money for a good cause while also doing something good for yourself!
Through this project I capture the images and stories of real women like you, changing how we as women are viewed and celebrated.
Proceeds from each photography session will go towards supporting the work of the Hope Valley Wellness Retreat Center, in Newark, Ohio.

- Robin Clossmana week agoSarah and her team are friendly, fun, and made me feel comfortable and valued. The experience was wonderful! I participated in the Hope Valley fundraiser - I needed new headshots and it seemed like a great opportunity support a worthy cause. During the shoot though I could see the pictures as Sarah was taking them and I began to change my perspective on the photo shoot from simply getting a few photos I needed to becoming an experience that empowered me and allowed me step into someone I’d been working on becoming for 3 years. The previous 3 years had been the most difficult in my life and I’ve worked hard to become stronger and wiser as I healed from them. The pictures Sarah gave me allowed me to see that I was ready to step into this new life I’ve been creating! Thank you, Sarah, and your team, for this gift of being able to see the me I’ve been working so hard to become!READ MORE
