Get ready for 2012!

We have two locations confirmed for SF - the famous Glide Memorial Church and the Hunter Point Opera House. And we are working on a third so that that is good.

Thanks! Diane

Comment by ruel cordero on December 12, 2011 at 12:23pm: Hi Jen,

I really enjoyed helping at the Mission event. Looking forward to being invited again. I saved the files on my hard drive. Would you want me to forward them to you? I just received an email from help-portrait to forward the best photo files with releases.

Let me know... best way to contact me is via email at ruel@usa.net.

Merry Christmas,

Ruel Cordero

Comment by First Exposures on December 11, 2011 at 1:27am: Thanks to all that made the Bayview Opera House event go so well. Somewhere around 250 photos made for around 536 people by 105 volunteers. More accurate numbers coming when I recover! This was amazing. Oh yeah, all our photos were made by 10-19 year olds who totally rocked it today!!!

Comment by Drew Sherman on December 11, 2011 at 12:57am: Thanks to everyone who helped out at the St. Vincent de Paul Center today. We rocked the house with 114 photo sessions for 140 people. I got a ton of thanks yous from the staff and clients as I was leaving. You guys were awesome. See you next year!!!

Comment by Nadav Soroker on December 10, 2011 at 11:17pm: Thank You Michael!! Today was definitely one of the coolest things I have ever done. It just totally blew my mind.

Comment by Michael Piña on December 10, 2011 at 10:54pm: Wow what a great day. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers. You guys made this years event the best one yet. So many stories. Awesome Awesome Awesome.

Comment by Don Taylor on December 10, 2011 at 7:18pm: Shots out to all the staff at MEDA Help-Portrait location. This was my first year of many to come. I really enjoyed the staff and all of the families.

Comment by Jen L. on December 10, 2011 at 3:20pm: @Jason I will be at SVDP. Was thinking it's probably easier to find a camera than a scanner and we would also be able to capture the art frames with a camera vs scanner.
