This Saturday, December 12, myself along with 3 other photographers and several volunteers are participating in the Help-Portrait movement. We have set up space at the Wellesley Community Centre in Toronto. We will be photographing members of the community for free as a Christmas gift to them, and providing an 8×10 print, also free of charge.
This event is not only happening in Toronto, but in cities around the world. At last count, there were over 7,000 participants world-wide! It’s an amazing thing that I am thrilled to be a part of!
If you know anyone in that area who you think would benefit, please let them know about this event. We have approximately 11 single moms signed up and will be there from 10 am to 2 pm. We would be thrilled to have some walk-in clients also!
Also, if you want to volunteer your time, we’re looking for another person who could help with doing make up. You don’t need to be an artist, but some experience with make up application would be beneficial.
