So December 12th was the big Help-Portrait day.  Photographers, Sytlists and Make-Up Artists all over the world participated - I was one of 6,000 people volunteering!!  60 countries and nearly every US state had help-portrait events… and to think the idea was birthed just months ago.  Hello Internet.
