Our Help Portrait event was held yesterday at the Minwaashin Lodge. What a great time we had! For myself, I think the on-site printing is what made all the difference. People were getting their portraits printed immediately and the smiles on so many peoples faces made me so proud of our team.
I have one image ingrained into my head… a shot Mike had taken of a young man with musical aspirations, holding his 8×10 print in his hands, pacing the room for a good 15-20 minutes, with a smile that went from ear to ear. His mom could not get over how how happy and healthy he looked… just incredible…
With very special thanks to Donna Cona for sponsoring this years Ottawa event. Because of your very generous donation, we were able to do the on-site printing and have more than enough supplies to cover the close to 500 photos taken. I, and all the team thank you so very much!!!
Special thank to Elaine and Holly of the Lodge for accommodating us so graciously and handling the scheduling… thank you!
And of course, thank you to this years Ottawa team; Mike, Jennifer, Ima and Peter… you guys are the best!
