Lens of Luv is a nonprofit organization that provides free documentary photography services and heirloom gifts to first responders and their families battling cancer in South Lake County, Florida. We aim to capture the strength, resilience, and love that these courageous individuals embody during their challenging journeys.

We offer our services to first responders, including firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel, along with their immediate families who are currently facing a cancer diagnosis. Our goal is to support those who dedicate their lives to serving others in their time of need.

To request a photography session, please visit the “Contact Us” section of our website or fill out the request form available online. We will follow up to schedule an initial consultation where we can discuss your family's needs and story.

During the consultation, we will take the time to understand your family's unique journey. You can share your experiences, discuss the moments you wish to capture, and address any specific themes or ideas you have in mind for the photography session. This helps us personalize our approach to best reflect your family's story.

Our photography sessions are designed to be natural and relaxed. Our photographer will focus on capturing genuine moments and interactions between family members rather than posed images. We aim to document the real emotions and experiences that reflect your family's journey during this time.

Yes, all photography sessions and the stories shared during them are confidential. We respect your privacy and the sensitive nature of your experiences. We will only share your images or stories with your explicit permission, typically for promotional purposes or to inspire others, if you feel comfortable.

Heirloom gifts include high-quality printed photographs, personalized photo albums, and other keepsakes that encapsulate your family’s journey. These items are created to serve as lasting reminders of your experiences and the love that surrounds you.

No, all of our services—photography sessions and heirloom gifts—are provided at no cost to the families we serve. We are dedicated to supporting first responders and their families during their most challenging times without placing any financial burden on them.

Typically, the editing process for the photographs will take a few weeks. Once the images are ready, we will share them with you through a private online gallery, and we will arrange for the delivery of your heirloom gifts at this time. We will keep you updated throughout the process.
