Help Portrait, success 2 years in a row!

After a couple of months of organization, Help Portrait 2010 was another success yesterday. More than 100 volunteers in 3 locations in Edmonton and 1 in Spruce Grove made it possible for more than 350 people to get a professional portrait taken and printed just in time for this Holliday Season.

It was an amazing day full of stories and emotions.  A lot of people came back for the second time, and I even found out about one woman that went to 2 locations! For some people this was the first time ever in front of a camera. Others would finally have the opportunity to send a photo to their family, or to have a photo with their children.

I can't express how thankful I am with all the volunteers that committed their Saturday to this event. But I can tell you that after giving a portrait to one of those people, and seeing their eyes in tears, all the work, time and effort was so worth it!

Here are a couple of articles about the event and some photos.
