Giving Back


At Christina Rush Photography, I believe in the power of giving back—using my lens to capture moments that matter and create lasting memories for those who need it most. My commitment to philanthropy is deeply rooted in personal beliefs and a passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others.



I understand the profound impact a photograph can have, and I am dedicated to using my craft to make a difference in the lives of others. Join me in my mission to capture moments, create memories, and give back to the communities I hold dear.


A Decade and a half of gratitude

Military Homecomings

For over 15 years, I have dedicated my time and talent to the military community, capturing the emotional reunions of brave service members with their families. While volunteering with programs like Operation Love Reunited and Welcome them Home, I realized the unique needs of our military clients weren't fully met. That's why, independently, I offer complimentary coverage of military homecomings, ensuring these special moments are immortalized without any cost to my clients.

Documenting the Journey

Adoption

I was a proud participant in the Red Thread Sessions, a program that supported families on their adoption journeys. Although the program has concluded, my commitment to adoptive families remains unwavering. Families embarking on the beautiful journey of adoption can choose from various options under my give-back program, including homecoming documentation, courthouse sessions (upon approval), and a family session within two weeks of adoption finalization.


I am currently curating a new portfolio for adoptions.

A Heartfelt mission with nilmdts

Capturing Love in Times of Loss

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) holds a special place in my heart. After years of contemplation, I took a crucial step by joining as a Digital Retouch Artist. This incredible program provides parents experiencing the loss of a baby with the gift of professional portraiture. As I continue to support grieving families with services professionally retouching remembrance portraits, I hope to become an active volunteer photographer for NILMDTS in the future.  My journey through personal loss has fueled my determination to be a source of strength for others during their most challenging times.


If you are interested in learning more about being involved with NILMDTS as a volunteer, I would love to send you more information regarding the program. There is always a need for more Photographers, Digital Retouch Artists, and Medical Affiliates. 

If you or a loved one would like more information on services provided, I would be more than happy to provide you with information on the program.

Beyond the Lens

Community Engagement

Beyond these specialized programs, I actively contribute to my local community. Volunteering at community events, participating in Boy Scouts, Youth Sports, and School events allows me to extend our impact beyond the photography studio. We reserve a portion of our schedule each year to take on additional charitable projects. If you have an event or cause that aligns with my mission, I encourage you to reach out at info@christinarushphotography.com.
