Mary Lanaghan of MJLStudios Photographic Portraiture (www.mjlstudios.com), regularly contributes extraordinary photos to Leesburg Lifestyle. She also annually celebrates strong women with portrait sessions in her Leesburg Studio. The project invites 30 local women to be celebrated in a deluxe portrait session with the goal of showing each how strong and beautiful she is in the eyes of others. A common trait for all, and key to their selection, is their generosity to their communities.
Nicole Wright, Wright Accounting Solutions, served on the Board and donates a percentage of her profits to Dandelion Meadow, a group providing long-term recovery support for women survivors of substance use.
Ravinder Sidhu, R&R Bookkeeping Services, is active in fundraising for local non-profits with the Loudoun County Social Collectives. The Christmas Tea this past December raised needed funds for A Place to Be.
Kristin MacDonald, Arboria Technical Solutions, offers complimentary guidance and training sessions for small businesses on topics like how to protect their businesses from cyber threats.
Sally Crosen and Misti LoRusso of Maid Brigade provide free cleaning services for households that are undergoing a major medical challenge.
Debra Leben, DL Coaching, provides complimentary events to non-profits and schools helping people with career decisions and leadership development.
Debbie Rogers, Ironwood Coaching Solutions, volunteers coaching services to veterans who are transitioning back into their communities.
Donna Thomas, Mountainside Gals, provides emotional support to women struggling with their body image and their confidence.
To wrap up the project, Mary will host a gallery reception soon displaying portraits of all 30 women. Check her website or our Facebook page for details.
