Since 2007, The Portrait Project has provided quality portraiture to underserved communities in the Bay Area, creating a temporary photo studio on site, and then delivering framed portraits and several snapshots within two weeks of the photo shoot.  

​

​A portrait is a simple, but profound and tangible gift that can reinforce familial cohesion, enhance self-esteem, and will last for generations.   It's truly inspiring to see people's expressions as they "step into the light."  On the bus recently, I ran into a man I had photographed several years ago, and he told me, in very poignant terms, how the portrait had helped him through a time of illness and injury.  It's a very potent experience for these individuals; at this point I have photographed more than 700 people via The Portrait Project.  If you can make a donation (direct or tax-deductible) in any amount it will help me continue this work.
