Hello Snappers!
Framing The Future began with a simple idea: every child deserves a chance to see the world- and themselves- through a creative lens. What started as an after school club started by a mom for her daughters to have fun and play with cameras quickly turned into something bigger. As more kids joined in and discovered the magic of photography, it became clear: ART CAN CHANGE THE WAY CHILDREN SEE THEMSELVES. It sparks confidence. It builds problem-solving skills. It gives kids a voice.
Today, Framing The Future is partnering with schools and communities across Charlotte to make photography accessible, joyful, and empowering.
