Empowering Youth Through Visual Storytelling: Sorena A Photography x Devoted Dreamers Foundation
About the Client
The Devoted Dreamers Foundation, founded by New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis and his wife Tamela Davis, is committed to uplifting youth through mentorship, character-building, and holistic development. Their Spring Enrichment & Training Program empowers young athletes beyond the field, incorporating leadership, financial literacy, health education, and athletic excellence.
The Photography Partnership
From April through July 2025, Sorena A Photography served as the official monthly photographer for the foundation’s Spring Enrichment & Training Program. Hired to document each monthly activation, the goal was to build a media library that captured the essence of the program, promoted its impact, and fueled future marketing, fundraising, and community engagement efforts.
“We enjoy our experience and the content was amazing. Looking forward to working with her again.”
