At Chaltron Photography, we believe that a thriving community is built on support, collaboration, and a shared commitment to making a difference. We actively seek out opportunities to use our talents and resources to help others, whether it’s through donating our time, services, or expertise. In the past, we’ve hosted successful events for different local animal welfare groups, where we donated our organizational, marketing, photography, and design skills to manage a pet calendar contest fundraiser. Additionally, we regularly provide event photography services to non-profit organizations, capturing the moments that celebrate their hard work and achievements. We are proud to offer three complimentary event photography sessions each year for charitable causes in our community. If you are part of a non-profit or community-focused organization in need of photography for an upcoming event, we invite you to follow the link below and submit a request for consideration. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more connected community.

COVE Annual Holiday Party Fundraiser - December 2024
A Night of Courageous Acts
It was our honor to photograph the incredible performances during COVE’s Annual Holiday Party. The women of COVE presented A Night of Courageous Acts, a variety of performing arts pieces including dramatic story telling and dance depicting the courage and resilience of women whose lives have been touched by domestic violence.
The packed house and sold-out VIP tables were a show of incredible community support as the emotional performances shared the often-unseen side of the journey to healing that women must travel as they are forced to find a new ‘normal’ post violence.
Our area is truly blessed to have a resource such as COVE (Communities Overcoming Violent Encounters) to provide these critical services.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence you can contact the COVE crisis line at 1-800-950-5808 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
