MV Draping

Our business, MV Draping, had the opportunity to host the amazing photographer Stephen Hang and elders in our community for free portraits. It's hard to fully put into words what this experience meant but our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. We are so thankful for the opportunity to give back to our elders and our community.

Thank you to Stephen Hang and to everyone who helped make this possible. We are truly grateful to have met so many incredible people along the way.

We’re honored to host this special community event with Stephen Hang Photography!

If you have a loved one age 50+, this is a wonderful opportunity to receive a free professional portrait.

FREE Portraits for Elders in North Carolina

This year, my dad turns 60, and I recently took portraits of him. It reminded me how important it is to have a nice photo of our parents and grandparents — not just for now, but for years down the road.

I specialize in sports portraits, but I’ve also offered free portrait/headshot sessions in Sacramento and Fresno. Since I’m visiting North Carolina, a place I lived for almost 20 years, I wanted to offer this as a small way to give back to a community that still means a lot to me.

These will be quick, simple portraits for anyone age 50+ who would like an updated photo for family, personal keepsakes, or just to have a nice picture of themselves.

Thank You Draping for partnering with us and providing us with the much needed space for this set up.

We love pairing our drapes with balloons! It creates the perfect focal point and photo backdrop without needing a huge setup. Simple, fun, and still makes a big impact!

Thanks for letting us be part of your special moments 💫

To all our clients, thank you and Happy Mother’s Day! We are extremely appreciative of your support and trust in us! 🤍

This draping setup was for a vow renewal. Earlier that week it was calling for a little rain, but as the day got closer, the forecast cleared up and it turned out to be such a beautiful day.

We’re so grateful to be a part of moments like these. Thank you for your support!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, aunties, sisters and friends! Wishing you a great day full love and appreciation. 🩷
