Here's an update to an earlier blog about Help Portrait.

Check out their website to hear what it's all about, but basically a bunch of great Kansas City photographers joined in with over 6,000 photographers worldwide and gave away professional portraits to those in need on December 12th.

Studio 132 in downtown hosted our event, one of several in KC that day. Thanks to all the photographers that donated their equipment, time and money to help in this incredible cause.
Thanks to Jason Domingues for helping coordinate the event, edit all the photos and handle the printing process!

Here's Jason's shot of me filming:

Also thanks to Digital Labrador for donating the lenses and Zacuto video rig that helped make this video possible:

Ok, so yes, the video made me cry. I am incredibly proud of you my friend for all the work you did and are doing with Help Portrait. We are so blessed to be able to have family photographs taken on a regular basis and know how precious they are to us and the generations to come. Thank you for serving His Kingdom in this way.
