This weekend around the world photographers grabbed their cameras and gear and participated in Help-Portrait. Participating in this year’s event with my best bud Charlie Brown was so rewarding and eye-opening. When we arrived to The Star Family Center, we were greeted with smiles. The center knew we’d be there to take portraits and it was so touching to see everyone so excited, getting ready, helping each other to look good for their photos. But it was beyond that. To see the light in the children’s eyes and the smiles from the parents who were having their first photos of their child. What was even more touching was how all the children wanted to help. As the prints were coming off the printer they lined up to help deliver them to the respective family. This was truly the gift. By the end of the day we knew most of them by name and it was hard to pack up. A few of the children helped all the way until the end and were so appreciative. A picture really is worth…
Here are some iPhone pics of our setup.

Help-Portrait is a collection of photographers around the world using their time, equipment, and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate. This year I am working with my best bud Charlie Brown. We will be photographing families at The STAR Family Center in Daytona Beach. For more information about Help-Portrait, click on the logo below.

If you know Christine… you know she is multi-talented and has more faces than any of us could ever come up with. It is always a pleasure to photograph her and I thank her for the opportunity to capture her and all her personalities. Here's a random selection from our recent shoot.

The Resurrection House in Sarasota. Hope to have some photos of the day up later.
What an awesome experience it was today. We had a great turn out and it was very humbling to be a part of this project.

Meet little Ella. She's adorable and it was a treat to photograph her in one of my favorite places – the Binz Building, home of
Interior Consignments. Ella wasn't happy for all the clicks, but I loved her little crying face. Big thank you to Daina for allowing me to use this wonderful space and Emily for having such a cutie.

It was such a pleasure to photograph our friend’s Gina and Corey’s wedding. We were there for the surprise proposal, engagement sessions and now for the big day! Gina looked absolutely stunning as did her bridesmaids. Corey and the guys didn’t look too bad either. There were lots of friends and family that participated in the wedding and it was a wonderful day. Congratulations, love you guys!

I photographed Jena's brother Matt a few years ago. He was one of the first seniors I had the opportunity to work with. Jena has such a classic look and her personality comes through in her portraits.
