Every year I participate in our local Help Portrait event. This year I volunteered at the Ain Dah Yung location. This is such a meaningful event and I look forward to it every year.
With Help Portrait, we provide professional portraits and on site printing. We also bring in make up artists and hair stylists to help people feel their best. Here with the Twin Cities Metro Help Squad, we’ve also started giving out a framed print to clients. Many of the people we work with haven’t had their portrait taken in years. I hear from families sometimes they’ve never had a picture of them taken together.
This year I used my experience in print production to help run the printing station. The printers only broke a few times but I got them back up and running quickly! After we got things running smoothly, I decided to name our printers so they would feel like part of the team.
I still managed to take a couple shots during all the bustle of the day. I hope you enjoy it!
