💛 Simply Me: A Campaign With Purpose 💛

 

Simply Me is a gallery art exhibition celebrating children ages 2–12. Each portrait is designed to capture a child’s unique personality, quirks, and essence — celebrating who they are right now, simply themselves.

 

This project invites kids to express their true selves against a simple white backdrop, creating timeless black-and-white portraits that highlight their innocence, imagination, and creativity. Through these striking images, we honor the beauty of childhood and the magic of seeing the world through the eyes of our youngest artists

​

This year, Simply Me is partnering with                                    a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Hero School goes beyond immediate needs, offering long-term solutions like recovering IDs, securing jobs, and restoring independence.

 

  By participating in Simply Me, your child becomes part of a larger exhibition — a collective story of childhood, individuality, and joy. A portion of every session directly supports Hero School’s mission, making this project about more than just art: it’s about creating impact together.

How It Works

    •    The cost to participate is $185.

    •    $100 of your session fee goes directly to Hero School.

    •    The remaining $85 is a credit you can use toward heirloom art of your child’s portrait.
