WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Losing all your possessions in a devastating fire is likely one of the worst things that many of us can imagine, but what is far worse is losing the memories captured in those items. The baby albums, the wedding photos, the photos of cherished vacations; those are the items that chronicle the most important moments in our lives and the fires in Lake County took those from many families.

To help create new memories for these families that have lost so much, a team of professional photographers from Sonoma, Napa, and Solano Counties are volunteering their time and talents to provide families in Lake County with free professional-quality photos.

On Saturday, December 5th 250 families will be photographed during their own private 15-minute session with a professional photographer and then will receive free copies of the photos taken during the session. These photos will not replace the memories lost in the devastating fires, but will help them to start making new memories as a family.

Donations are currently being requested to help cover the costs associated with the event. Donations will help provide water and snacks to families while they wait to be photographed, envelopes to deliver the photos, overhead costs, backup rain plan (tent rentals), and printing, to cover the cost of shipping and delivering the donated prints, and provide food for the volunteers.

What is HELP-PORTRAIT®?  

HELP-PORTRAIT® is a Global Movement of photographers, hairstylists, and makeup artists using their time, tools, and expertise to give back to those in need.   

We're so excited about helping others and we would like to invite you to share in this excitement with us!

We started a fundraiser to raise the funding that we need to make Help-Portrait come to life. We have a one time single donations goal of $800 that will go towards the initial cost of the event. It's been our dream to give back and we hope that you will consider being part of this opportunity with us.

Every donation is important and will enable us to be present and help others in need. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, we would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and helping us accomplish something that's important to all of us!
