This past Sunday Jeremy Cowart was working his magic for the next chapter of Help Portrait in 2011. In keeping with the tradition of Help Portrait from previous years they’ll be respecting the privacy of any and all who would like to have their portrait taken but this year they are asking those who are being photographed to share their story. Jeremy just posted an update with the vision for this years event – Check it here

My favorite picture is above of Sephora and her baby.

Joining Jeremy for Sundays shoot was a bunch of great people. They shared their talents and loved on people for several hours at the Union Rescue Mission.

December 10th is around the corner and if you’re photographer or just want to volunteer for this years event (like me!) here’s a list of needed pieces for each event in each city.

What are the typical responsibilities of a Help-Portrait Volunteer?:

1. Welcome/Greeters
2. Hair stylists (local beauty college, local stylists)
3. Make-up artists (same as #2)
4. Event coordinators – someone to pull all the other things together!
5. Printers or people to handle printing/CD burning/emailing .jpgs, etc
6. Music – someone to set-up and keep music going throughout the day
7. Serving of FOOD! For volunteers AND participants
9. Teens – plan activities, entertain young children while waiting or while others in their families are photographed, etc
10. Florist – someone to spruce up the locale, whether making it holiday-ish or just generally lovely
12. Runners – for all the things that get forgotten
13. Marketing – Need flyers? Recruiting sponsors? Writing thank you’s after the event? Need signs so people know where to find you?
14. Admin – need appointments? Need copies made? What else?
