Community

One of our biggest frustrations was when we were working in the Corporate World where no matter how hard we worked, we could never see how we were making a difference (other than perhaps improving shareholder returns). So when we started Israel Smith Photographers,we started it with the desire to always be touching lives & making a difference.

This started by choosing a primary charity of choice – Sydney Children’s Hospital. We then developed what we like to call “The Israel Smith Circle of Life Philosophy”. The basic premise of this philosophy is to give back to those that support us – “Our community”.

Our Community Section covers the variety of ways we are making a difference and are giving back to those who support us. This includes:

• Sydney Children’s Hospital
• Supporting our clients businesses by featuring stories in the Local Spotlight section
• Providing gifts for fundraising initiatives for our clients schools and special causes
• Offering tips with your Happy Snaps
• Sharing inspirational quotes
• Suggesting useful and sometimes funny household tips
• Sharing some of the funny saying from the Mouths of Babes

Please enjoy, participate and be part of Our Community!
