Community involvement is an important mission for Krista and her Impressions Photography team. In 2022 they donated time to The Charitable Foundation of The Islands, Big Arts on Sanibel Island, The Heights Foundation and the Foundation for Lee County Public Schools. They had a successful year with their backpack drive, raised another $2,000 for the Impressions Photography scholarship fund, added an e-commerce website to raise money for hurricane relief and teamed up with Rosie's Boutique in Haiti to promote ethical shopping. They are keeping the momentum rolling into 2023. Krista and her team are already planning fundraisers and events for next year. They are always looking for more ways to make a difference in the local community and the world.
