Book cover with text Shut The Front Door, photos + Stories During the 2020 COVID19 pandemic by Jenn Ocken Photography

The Front Porch Project book includes more than 800 families photographed during the shelter-in-place ordinance for Baton Rouge, starting in late March 2020 and continuing through June. The pages also include photos Jenn took for The Store Front Project and her Halloween edition of the project. The photos are accompanied by a series of stories and thoughts from project participants, recounting their Covid-19 pandemic experiences and importance of supporting local businesses in the area.

Jenn also shares her memories and stories from throughout the project, offering an insider’s view of how the project began, the logistics and layers it took to pull it off, and the power and support it created in the community.

Not only did Front Porch Project participants manage to have some fun during a dark and uncertain time, they put $1.28 million back into local businesses by paying it forward in exchange for their Front Porch Project portrait session.
