The photographer would be charged with collecting still photography of a TAPS Seminar, specifically the evening dinner with families making connections. Photos that are hi-res, magazine and brochure quality would be ideal, as these photos will be used in TAPS marketing material for future events and publication.
Ideally we would like a total of 20 usable photos (understanding that many will likely be taken, we would like the top 15-20). These photos would also be provided to the families who were participating, in addition to social media (Twitter and Facebook).
We would of course provide the appropriate photo credit and work with the photographer to meet their needs and expectations.

Description
OUR WORK
TAPS provides a variety of programs to survivors nation and worldwide. Our National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp has been held annually in Washington, D.C. over Memorial Day weekend since 1994. TAPS also conducts regional survivor seminars with adult and youth programs at locations across the country as well as retreats and expeditions around the world. Staff connects surviving family members to counseling in their community and helps navigate benefits and resources.
PEER SUPPORT FOR BEREAVED SURVIVORS
TAPS was founded on the principles of best practices in peer-based emotional support for bereaved survivors. Today, TAPS provides care to over 100,000 grieving military family members using these best practices. Peer support gives those who have had a unique experience or who are facing a personal challenge the framework to connect with others who share that experience or challenge. Peer support happens in individual and group settings. By the simple act of knowing they are not alone in their experience and realizing that other have overcome similar challenges, peers find validation, normalization, and ultimately, a sense of hopefulness.
TAPS is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 Veterans Service Organization and has a four-star rating on Charity Navigator.
