Starting at 10:00 am
Stanley A. Milner Library
Each December, photographers, hairstylists and makeup artists all around the world will find people in need, take their picture, print it and then deliver it—free of charge.
Help-Portrait is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them.
These portraits aren’t for a portfolio, website, or sale. It’s about giving people who otherwise couldn’t afford photography, a chance to capture a moment, a memory…and a whole lot more.
Get Ready
We’ll help you look your best. There will be makeup artists, hair stylists and a wardrobe section to make you look like a rockstar.
Take your photo
Our professional photographers will direct you on how to pose in one of our studios. Feel like a celebrity and enjoy the ride!
Get a print
Give us a few minutes after we take your photo, and we’ll give you an 8×10 print. We’ll even have some frames (quantities limited).
Everyone here is a volunteer, and we can always use a hand. If you are interested in making this event happen, please sign up here.
No. Everyone is welcome to come between 10 am and 5 pm—no need to register or have an appointment.
Yes, you can bring friends and family. The number of prints is limited, but we can give you a few extra photos online.
Absolutely not. Everything at Help Portrait is free. Photographers, makeup artists, hair stylists and many other volunteers are donating their time and talent for you.
The time it takes depends on several factors: the number of people ahead of you when you arrive, if you are having hair and makeup done, the actual photo session and the print of your portrait. Overall, it can take anywhere from 40 to 90 minutes.
Your donation will help us support volunteers, underwrite program costs and serve more subjects.
