WESTWOOD, MA — A family photoshoot, with a social distance twist. Pia Ventola of Silent Statement Photography is excited to join a national trend. She’s using her passion for photography to spread joy. And she’s not accepting money – instead, encouraging her subjects to pay it forward.

“Maybe it’s a good way to raise some money for the food banks. Whatever way they can give back to help people out, I thought was a good trade for my services,” she said.

Pia uses a long lens during these shoots so she doesn’t need to get any close ups near the family. All the communication is done from across the yard – several feet away.
