Founded over eight years ago, the Heart Gallery is photographic exhibit created to find forever families for children in foster care. The nationwide project includes more than 120 local Heart Galleries and is designed to increase the number of adoptive families for children needing homes in our community. Leading the local Heart Gallery project is the Tallahassee Junior League and Long’s Photography is proud to be their partner photographer.
As part of the project, I have the distinct joy of photographing these amazing children and sharing my art with our community. I don’t think I could ask for a better gift than to be able to be part of this amazing project. I was so incredibly in awe of our first Heart Gallery participant, Miss Brianna. Brianna has one of the sunniest personalities you have ever seen. She is mature beyond her years and surrounds those around her with an infectious sense of joy and laughter. Not only is she incredibly beautiful and kind, but also strikingly smart! She loves science and plans to be a pharmacist. I don’t think I was anywhere as put together and on target as Brianna is at her age. I think this dynamo is really going to go far and show the world a thing or two!
