Teachers in Focus:
Free Portrait Sessions for Educators in Eastern North Carolina


Apply to Win a Free Portrait Session in New Bern, NC
Teachers spend countless hours shaping lives, inspiring curiosity, and helping students grow. Long after the final bell rings, many educators are still grading papers, planning lessons, attending events, communicating with families, and finding creative ways to support their students.

As a former educator, I know firsthand that teaching is much more than a job. It is a commitment that extends far beyond the classroom walls. That's why I'm excited to offer a free portrait session for one deserving teacher every quarter. 
​
How to Apply
Simply complete the application below and tell us about yourself or the educator you are nominating. Please share what makes them exceptional, how they have impacted their community, and why they would benefit from a complimentary portrait session.

Applications are accepted year-round, and one recipient will be selected each quarter. If your nominee isn't selected, their name will remain in the running for the next 3 rounds. Submit your application 5 days before the selection date to be considered.

If you know a teacher who deserves recognition—or if you're an educator who rarely takes time for yourself—we invite you to apply today!

Submit your application below for a chance to win a complimentary teacher portrait session in New Bern, NC.

Why This Matters
This portrait project was created to shine a light on the educators who quietly make a difference every day—those who encourage struggling students, create safe spaces for learning, stay late to help, and invest their hearts in future generations.
Every teacher has a story worth telling.
Every teacher deserves to be seen
