Happy Portraits Of The People You Love By Rob & Lauren

This upcoming Saturday photographers from all over the world will be participating in an event called Help Portrait. Quite simply, the purpose is to find people in need, take their portrait, and print it. It’s going to be an amazing way to give back, and show people that they are beautiful. 

Here in Edmonton there is a large group participating, with 4 locations around the city. The reason I’m posting about this event is to ask our lovely blog readers to spread the word to people in need. You might know someone who runs a shelter, works with the underprivileged, or could benefit from this themselves. Examples of the people this event was created for are veterans, the elderly, the homeless, single mothers, etc. 

If you’d like to see what it’s all about, view this video. I watched it this morning and nearly bawled. I’m really excited to get to participate in such an awesome cause.

Here is a poster with details for the Edmonton event. Please think if you know someone we can help, and spread the word! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email and I’ll answer them as best I can!

And finally, if you are a photographer, make-up artist, or even just someone who wants to help, I’m sure there is still space for volunteers. This is the link for the Edmonton group where you can offer your help, and get in touch with the organizers: http://community.help-portrait.com/group/edmonton

Thanks in advance for your help! We really hope we can put a smile on a lot of faces this Saturday!
