Help Portrait: It's about GIVING pictures, not taking them

I’m so happy to have given a little piece of my time for such a good photo cause.
December 10th, 2011 I participated in Help Portrait in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston.

Here’s the mission statement from Help Portrait:

In December, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need and taking their picture. When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered.

Yep. It really is that easy.

This is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits are not for your portfolio, website, or for sale. Money isn’t involved here. This holiday season, you have the chance to give a family something they may have never had before—a portrait together.

Below is a collection of photographs from the day in Boston. A few dozen photographers, volunteers, make up and hair stylists all made these photos possible.
