PROJECT BACKGROUND
Jocelyn R.C. started this project in October 2025, capturing the first eleven portraits for this series. After seeing them all together as a small collection, she felt compelled to continue. With the help of some dear friends who hosted portrait sessions in their garages and living rooms, project participation began expanding to second and third-degree social circles and inspired Jocelyn to begin applying for grants and relevant opportunities to support Here Then's expansion to the broader Seattle community.
