Many of you who follow me or my work know that mainly I am a wedding & lifestyle photographer, but a few years ago, I met Jeremy Cowart, a talented Celebrity Photographer and the Founder of Help Portrait. Not only was I moved when I learned about his organization and the mission, I KNEW I had to be a part of this global movement involving giving the gift of a portrait to those in need, and during the holidays…what better time? See what Help Portrait is all about and how YOU can get involved by volunteering or simply making a donation. Your contributions are tax deductible and will aid us with the costs of printer ink, paper, photo frames, and any other equipment necessary to complete the task.

We had several talented, caring and giving photographers who contributed their time and expertise, here is a walk thru Help Portrait from Registration, to Makeup, Photo Booth, and finally, the Print Station. Thanks Eugenia for sharing these images with the world!
