The Oldham Project began as a mere thought, after a family funeral of a second sister to die of cancer. Named for the Oldham sisters, who eventually succumbed to breast cancer, and fought valiant, courageous fights and the third sister, who has ultimately saved her life with preventative surgery. As a tribute to them and their strength and courage, The Oldham Project was conceived to document the lives of everyone who is fighting a battle for their lives.

In 2008, The Oldham Project became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to providing free portrait sessions to those suffering from life threatening or terminal illnesses. Families in our community are suffering the loss of a loved one each and every day. Through this organization, we offer these fine portraits FREE of charge so that their memory may be kept alive for generations to come.
