It’s time again to be inspired by the generosity of our fellow photographers. This week we’re visiting Jenny Froh of Jenny Froh Photography who donates her spare time helping our furry counterparts find new homes.
Who is Jenny Froh?
Jenny Froh of Jenny Froh Photography is a professional pet and portrait photographer serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and is a member of HeARTs Speak, a non-profit organization working to unite the individual efforts of animal artists and animal rescues into collective action for social change.
Tell us about your project.
I thoroughly enjoy giving back to my community by volunteering my photography services to non-profit animal rescues, which include Humane Society of Flower Mound, DFW Pug Rescue, Great Plains Mastiff Rescue, and American Bullmastiff Rescue Association. I volunteer to photograph dogs or cats that are in the Rescue’s care to help find them find foster and/or permanent homes. Knowing that I played even a small part in helping an animal is a wonderful feeling.
What effect has giving back had on you as a person and a photographer?
During the time I’ve been volunteering, I’ve met so many incredible and caring people. I have expanded my personal network of friends and therefore my business client base as well. To my surprise though, volunteering has helped my career in ways other than expanding my market. My rescue work has landed my photography on the cover of the Sept/Oct issue of Bark Magazine. One of my rescue photographs is also a finalist in Art+Bark photo contest and on display at the Houston Pavilions throughout the month of October and will be published in Life+Dog Magazine.
As an animal lover and advocate, volunteering to help the helpless is a reward within itself. It’s incredibly gratifying to be a part of finding a home for an animal that wants only to be loved. I highly encourage everyone to pick something you’re passionate about and help out in your community! You’ll reap rewards you never imagined.
Jenny, thank you for your grace in giving back to your community through the gift of photography!
