SUMMARY:Headshots for Hackforge: A Community Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave.\, Unit 210)👥 In Person Only 💲 Free \n\n\n\nWe’ve all been there: you look at your professional profile picture and realize it’s a decade old. Booking a real photoshoot costs time and money most of us don’t have (especially now that Sears is gone). \n\n\n\nSo Hackforge is fixing that for a day. \n\n\n\nOn Sunday\, July 26th\, we’re hosting a day of first-come\, first-served micro headshot sessions. To keep high-quality images accessible to everyone\, this event is pay-what-you-can. All proceeds directly support Hackforge’s free community programming! \n\n\n\nHow it works:\n\n\n\n\nFirst-Come\, First-Served: No pre-booking required. Just show up and sign in when you arrive!\n\n\n\n10-Minute Sessions: Fast\, efficient\, and stress-free micro-sessions to get you on your way.\n\n\n\nCome Photo-Ready: We won’t have wardrobe\, makeup\, or hair stylists on-site\, so dress to impress.\n\n\n\nProfessional Retouching: Your edited digital images will be emailed to you within a couple of weeks.\n\n\n\nPay What You Can: We suggest a donation of $20 – $25\, but we won’t be keeping track of individual amounts. Give what you can!\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Photographer:\n\n\n\nPhotos will be taken by Lauren Hedges\, a photographer with 15 years of experience shooting portraits\, live events\, and street photography. Check out her current project @dogsofdwfm on instagram\, or visit her beautifully neglected website www.LaurenHedges.com. \n\n\n\n📆 Sunday\, July 26\, 2026🕦 11 AM – 4 PM📍Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210)🎟️ RSVP Below

If you’re interested in what goes on behind-the-scenes\, or want a say in where we go next\, this is the perfect opportunity to engage. \n\n\n\nJoin the first-ever Hackforge Town Hall where you can:\n\n\n\n\nGet to know us: Meet our staff\, board\, and committee members.\n\n\n\nShape our programming: Tell us what you want to see more (or less!) of.\n\n\n\nShare your ideas: Help us figure out how to build a community you want to be a part of.\n\n\n\nHelp define membership: Help us talk through what “joining Hackforge” should look like moving forward.\n\n\n\n\nAs always\, this event is completely free and open to everyone. \n\n\n\n📆 Saturday\, August 15\, 2026🕦 1 – 2:30 PM📍 In-person at Hackforge HQ & Online via Zoom🎟️ Register to attend virtually via Zoom💬 Interest Group: Hackforge Community
