Our Mission
Local photographers Marta Nash and Joanna
Wysmyk is bringing smiles to the people of
Navan all at their front door.
The civic-minded snappers took on the #fronstepproject in their 2km area,
after being inspired by photographers in Boston who came up with the idea.
This is where is began https://www.thefrontstepsproject.com/.
“We provide a quick five-minute professional photo session,
offering one or two free photos while practising safe and significant social distancing,” says Marta.
“You can dress up, dress down, even wear your pj's,
take a serious picture or be as silly as you want.
I just want to capture your family and give you a reason to smile
during these trying times and to give back to my community.
“It is a great opportunity to bring a smile on people faces in this difficult time”.
“The response has been overwhelming and the feedback has been amazing! We have photographed over 100 families already, which is almost 400 people. We will continue to do so for the next upcoming weeks as long as the weather permits.”
HOW WE DO IT
If you are interested in one of the photo spots,
you can get in touch with one of us.
The duo will be photographing for the next couple of weeks and If anyone is interested in the free photo session,
here are their guidelines
The session must take place within 5km of Bru na hAbhainn or Silverlawn, County Meath.
We will give you your scheduled time and also send you a text
when I am five minutes from arrival so you can step outside.
We will photograph your family using a long lens from a distance of at least 10 feet.
You can be photographed on your front step, your front porch, your doorway ....
wherever you choose that will allow us to remain at least 10 feet apart.
After snapping some quick images we will get in our cars and leave.”
The images will be posted on Facebook and instagram using #frontstepsproject
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We have chosen a local charity called SOSAD Ireland because we feel that
many people's mental health has been affected by such a strange time we
are currently living in.
We are asking everyone who we photograph to make a small but generous donation to this wonderful charity.

Our Amazing Team
Marta Nash
I am the gal behind the camera.
I’m your Portrait Photographer.
I like peppermint tea, Frank’s Hot Sauce and BBC6 Radio.
I love people but my favourite people are family and the Emerald Green Island, the place I can finally call home:).
I also like music. I like to create sounds. Photographing is sometimes like listening to jazz music.
What sets Jazz apart is a thing cool thing called IMPROVISATION.
That is exactly what happens when we work together.

and individuals building my photography portfolio
