Help-Portrait Delaware | Press Release
Well, Help Portrait 2010 has come and gone. It was a great day with great results. Special thanks to our volunteers!
118 individuals + 1 dog photographed
22 volunteers
over 175 5x7 portraits given out
A few thoughts on the day:
"The very first sitting of the day, was a single, pregnant mother, with her 8th grade son. It was their first professional portrait together. While we were taking the photos, her baby started kicking and it became very emotional for her. She began to cry, and this whole process became more meaningful for all of us. She also began to cry when we showed her the framed, finished photo. Her baby will be named Nevaeh, HEAVEN backwards"
"The biggest smile we saw all day was not when we took the photos, it was when we handed them prints of their portrait."
"We also learned that help portrait is not just about giving to those less fortunate, but also about giving back to those that have done something good for others. One family was not necessarily "less fortunate", but they had adopted a child that was in need of a home. They have been that boy's parents since the day he was born, and they deserved a professional portrait in celebration of their new family. He is now 6 months old, and in a loving home."
2011 event will be on December 3!
