Help business owners be seen —
while they're building something worth seeing.
The Next Chapter Project provides complimentary branding photography to DMV small business owners who are starting, rebuilding, or growing with limited resources.
Behind every business is a person with a dream. We want to help yours be seen.

Our Why
We know what it means to keep building.
Entrepreneurship has seasons. Some bring momentum. Others ask you to keep showing up when resources are stretched and the next step feels uncertain.
As business owners ourselves, we understand. We created JPix Cares to offer something we can give with care: photographs that help another entrepreneur present their business with confidence.
Whether you're starting, rebuilding, or growing, your work has a story. We want to help you tell it.

Why This Exists
Every business owner deserves to be seen at every chapter — not just the ones with a marketing budget.
How It Works
APPLY
Tell us about your business and where you are right now. It takes about five minutes.
GET SELECTED
We choose recipients based on need, readiness to use the images, and the difference the session could make.
SESSION DAY
A guided planning call, then your session at the studio — walking away with images ready to use.
Each session follows our Brand Refresh format — a 20-minute shoot, two setups, and five finished images — plus a short planning call so you leave with photos you can actually use on your website, LinkedIn, and marketing materials.
Pilot Details
What's included, and who it's for

Publicity is always optional. Being selected never requires being featured. If you're comfortable being part of a future spotlight, you can say so on the application — otherwise, your session and images are entirely yours.

What's Next
The pilot is just the start
As JPix Cares grows, here's the direction we're building toward — at whatever pace makes sense for us and our community.
Community Nominations
Nominate an entrepreneur who serves others but rarely invests in themselves.
Sponsored Sessions
Local businesses and supporters fund a recipient's full experience.
Quarterly Portrait Days
More recipients photographed together on one designated day.
Annual Community Showcase
Recipients gather to network and celebrate what they've built.
Want to sponsor a future session — or nominate someone?
We'd love to hear from you as JPix Cares grows.

Not currently. JPix Cares is a community program run by JPix Studio, with a clear, sustainable limit on the time and expenses we donate each cycle. We may explore a separate nonprofit structure down the road.
No. Publicity is always optional, both on the application and after your session. You can receive full support without ever being featured.
Community nominations are part of our future vision and aren't open yet during the pilot. For now, applications come directly from the business owner. We'll announce nominations here when they launch.
The pilot is intentionally small — three recipients over three months — so we won't be able to select everyone who applies. We'll let you know either way, and you're welcome to apply again as JPix Cares grows.
At the JPix Studio in Landover, MD, on a designated session date shared with each recipient in advance.
