This year’s Help-Portrait event was a success! We photographed 54 families. The San Fernando community came out and supported the event with over 60 volunteers and 20 donors. Awesome!
Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to the community this holiday season. On December 10, 2011 the community of San Fernando and Alas Media made it possible for these beautiful families to take home a family portrait to share this holiday season.
