We participated in the world-wide Help Portrait photography event on December 12, 2009. Thousands of photographers gave their time and talent to give the gift of free professional portraits to people who really don’t have the margin in life to afford them otherwise. We chose to work with six single mothers and their families. A couple of these families had not had a family portrait taken since their kids were born nine years ago. Other families said their only family photo was of an earlier time when the family dynamics were much different. It was a thrill to do this for these amazing women and their families!
