Help Portrait Dalton

Help Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season.

I first learned about Help Portrait by one of the guys (Ty Miller) setting up the one here in Dalton through Twitter.  While watching the video, which was very touching, and showing it to my brothers and Alicia, I wanted to be a part of it, as did they.  The turnout for volunteers was great, and they already had pretty much every aspect of it covered.  So we just tried to help out wherever we could be of any assistance.  We also brought some snacks for the volunteers and the people that showed up to enjoy while they were there.  It was really nice to see everyone work together and work hard to pull the event off.  I think there ended up being close to 32 sessions of people show up for portraits.  It was awesome and felt really good to see their smiles and see the happiness in their faces as their photos were handed to them.  It was definitely a great experience and something that I am very proud to have been a part of.  I hope for us to be able to be a part of it next year as well and help bring hope to many more people through this awesome movement.

I would definitely encourage anyone that’s not seen it, and would like to help bring some hope to people during these difficult holiday times, to check it out and try to be a part of it next year.
