About the Fostered Memories Network

Memories should not be limited by the size of your wallet!

Imagine not having childhood photos. Many of the youth in foster care today leave the foster care system with very few photos of their childhood. As a former foster parent I realized there was a need to provide photographs for these children. From infants to high school seniors! As a hobby photographer, I started to provide these photos. However, the need was greater than what just one person could provide. This is where the Fostered Memories Network was born!

Network of Photographers

The Fostered Memories Network is a non-profit network of professional photographers that give of their time & talent to local foster children. Having professional photos helps the child to feel like

they are known, they are loved and that they matter. Because every childhood deserves to be remembered!

Project 48

Project 48 was founded by twin sisters with a passion for supporting children in foster care. Brandy, a former CASA; and Tonya, a foster parent of ten years, saw that children experiencing foster care were frequently overlooked during vulnerable and traumatic transitions. Together, they launched Project 48 to provide youth entering foster care with high-quality clothing and essential items to allow for an easier transition in foster care. Since Project 48 launched in 2019, it has grown to include 3 additional programs that provide support to youth at every step of their foster care journey.
