Sorry that it has taken me so long to get the website updated! There is still work to be done behind the scenes even though this year's event is over.

Christy and I are working hard getting the digital images ready to go to the printers and we're also sorting candid photos of the event as a whole.

Please check back early in December for statistics, photos and videos of this year's Portrait Project.

We will also post the date for next year's event so that people can start planning now!

We can't thank all of the wonderful people who volunteered their time enough! We made some new friends and hope that you did, too!

Of course, we also need to thank everyone that donated food, toys and beverages. Those things added so much to the event.
