Flawless Foundation Supermodel YOU | Portland Event Photography

A beautiful event for a beautiful cause.

 The Flawless Foundation takes a stand for children living with brain-based, behavioral challenges by promoting educated awareness about neurodevelopment, providing evidence-based, holistic treatment programs, and by advancing environmental and prevention focused research.

The Flawless Foundation is a local non-profit organization (mission statement posted above) garnering national attention from celebrities and politicians. Megan Henson Photography has had the opportunity to join the Flawless cause by photographing events benefiting The Flawless Foundation. Most recently Megan Henson Photography was invited to shoot a book signing featuring Oregon native and international supermodel, Sarah DeAnna. The event took place at the beautiful boutique, Mabel & Zora, in the Pearl District. The guests in attendance added to the night's meaning and beauty, not only by their presence and contributions, but also by being open about their own experiences with mental illness.

Flawless founder Janine Francolini and Supermodel Sarah DeAnna (pictured right) teamed up to create an evening devoted to raising money and awareness for the Flawless cause. This event supported the many programs and services The Flawless Foundation provides for children. 

The Flawless Foundation works to provide holistic treatments, such as yoga and meditation, for kids with brain based behavioral challenge; Flawless also works with a wide range of children in foster care, juvenile detention, special schools, and psychiatric hospitals. They work to train mental health professionals and educators, along with parents, in evidence based therapies such as Collaborative Problem Solving. The Flawless Foundation also works towards prevention. Also, utilizing tolls like videos, educational panel discussions, and parties, The Flawless Foundation is changing the face of mental illness through events and awareness campaigns.

The community in Portland rallying around the Flawless cause is inspiring. The evening's location, Mabel & Zora, provided a beautiful backdrop for the event. Guests browsed the gorgeous racks of clothing and accessories while sipping wine, chatting, and purchasing raffle tickets. The young ladies who volunteered, pictured above with Mabel & Zora Owner/Designer Tiffany Bean, all wore beautiful matching Tiffany Bean dresses.
