I have always donated a portion of all Jasmine Norris Photography sales each year to different causes. Giving back has always been a big part of my life and when I started my photography business, I knew that I wanted to tie that into my business as well. I always give a portion of my donations to environmental causes because I believe that it is important to offset my carbon emissions and help keep our Earth healthy. The causes that are donated to change yearly depending on the circumstances that may have happened that year. Below are the organizations that were supported this year and this is all because of each of you who support Jasmine Norris Photography! Thank you for helping make this possible!

This organization plants trees, fights deforestations, and invests in solar and wind power. They make it very easy to offset your carbon emissions that you make due to traveling, driving a car, living in your home, etc. I donated enough to cover my carbon emissions for the year for my business to offset things like me driving to weddings, flying to conferences, and using my computer, among other things. I was able to reduce over 32 Tonnes of CO2 Emissions this year (as well as in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019!).
Animal Organizations, Including Loving Paws Animal Center and Wildcat Creek Wildlife Center
Donations have also gone to several animal organizations to help with things such as building shelter for outside dogs, rescuing animals in need, and rehabilitating harmed animals.
This year I was one of the sponsors for Pride Lafayette. The mission of Pride Lafayette, Inc is to continually educate and promote awareness of diversity, health, culture and acceptance of individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Pride Lafayette, Inc. facilitates and coordinates the efforts of the communities to work together on a number of programs and activities such as diversity education, health initiatives, community mobilization, cultural enhancement, and research.
The City of Lafayette has a lot of great sustainability efforts in place and one they they offer are rain gardens. You’ll see rain gardens throughout downtown and in other areas of Lafayette. These gardens help reduce excess rain water and can help filter out pollutants and provide food and shelter for butterflies, song birds, and other wildlife.
Jasmine Norris Photography is now the Rain Guardian for the Rain Garden on the corner of 10th and Main Street! My job as a rain guardian is to clear out any trash that may collect in the garden weekly to make sure it’s functioning correctly.
