Her career as a child photographer spans almost twenty years and is intricately linked to a commitment to use her work to help underprivileged children. Robin’s awareness of a growing need for foster and adoptive families in the Bay Area led her to co-found and co-chair The Bay Area Heart Gallery, a collaboration between photographers and public and private child adoption agencies. Her desire to use her photography skills to assist children in need inspired her visits to several developing nations, where her photographs were used to raise money for non-profit agencies designed to feed and school the impoverished in Peru, India, Bhutan, and most recently, Haiti.
