Our Mission

 In many underserved communities, the senior portrait experience is about more than a photo. Seniors often lack access to the mentorship, creative outlets, and wellness support that help them step confidently into life after graduation. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, at least half of all high school students are economically disadvantaged, and many also face homelessness or foster care. Without access to senior graduate portrait experience and future-focused resources, they miss a milestone moment that helps them feel seen, celebrated, and ready for what comes next. 


EmpowerPix uses the art of photography, the creativity of AI, and the power of community to celebrate and equip underserved high school and college graduates. We help them find their voice, explore their potential, and step into college, career, and life with confidence and purpose. 


Our mission is to create equity in access to senior portraits and creative digital skill building for students in underserved communities who face economic or social barriers, helping them feel confident and ready for their next chapter.

How We Started

Our History

This mission began as a heartfelt idea to give back to our community through the art of photography. “I felt every senior graduate, no matter their financial circumstances, deserved the opportunity to commemorate this achievement,” says  Dunice Harrell, who launched the very first Gift of a Lifetime campaign in 2023.


What started as a single crowdfunded effort to help underserved students obtain senior portraits has blossomed into something far more meaningful. Our supportive community has enabled us to offer professional photoshoots to hundreds of families, capturing treasured memories at life’s most important milestones.


Today, that spark continues to grow through EmpowerPix, building on the legacy of the Gift of a Lifetime program and expanding opportunities for students in creative, educational, and empowering ways.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Your support celebrates senior graduation milestones while equipping students with AI skills, mentorship, and creative opportunities. Every gift fuels life-changing programs, and every volunteer helps students step confidently into college, careers, and beyond.
