Help-Portrait was a lot of fun this year and Orange was happy to participate including donating equipment and supplies as well as manpower.  This year our Help-Portrait location at the Bayview Opera House photographed over 670 people and included 117 volunteers.  It was even crazier than last year and the vibe was fantastic.  The kids in First Exposures all had fun and realized the power of giving back to the community.  This video was […]

Another school year has kicked off and that means that another year of First Exposures has kicked off as well.  As a long-time mentor in the program, we’ve seen it grow over the years and this year has a ton of new faces.  It’s great to see this program growing and after our second class of the year, things are already starting to […]

We were delighted to host the First Exposures program as the last real big ‘event’ at our old studio space at 1261 Howard in SOMA.  It was a lot of fun and I think the kids got a kick out of it.  It’s amazing all the different looks you can get in that one spot, and the kids got really creative as did the mentors.

There will be a benefit […]
