Help Portrait - New York 2009 (Women's Shelter)

Here is a video that I edited for the Help Portrait organization that I'm involved with. This particular event took place in a women's shelter here in New York Dec. 12, 2009. There was about 42 women living in the shelter with their children ages 9 and younger. I can honestly say that this was a very moving experience and enjoyed every minute of it. It did not cost any money to give back to the community, but just your time and effort. It was definitely a group effort and I felt so fortunate to work with some really talented people....doing things that we already love to do. I encourage more people to become involved with Help Portrait.

What is Help Portrait?
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.
