Natriya Rampey is a photographer in Loudoun County, Virginia. She and other portrait photographers around the country are documenting quarantine life through portraits, often taken from a car. Rampey uses social media and text to notify residents when she’ll be driving through the area. Families dress up and make signs and wait on their porches for their portraits, which are shared with the hashtag #InItTogether. “Porch Photography: In It Together” has a public Facebook group. There’s no charge for porch photos, but she does accept donations for local food pantries. As of May, she’d raised over $3,000.
