"Where the Heart is." Family Portraits for Habitat for Humanity Families.

The old adage “home is where the heart is,” is so true, and a home is just a house without family.  When a family moves into a new home, it is really a bench mark. To have a lasting reminder of this time in a family's life is a special gift. 

That is why, for the second year, Insight Photography offered Habitat for Humanity families an opportunity to have their portraits taken to celebrate moving into their new homes.  The program, called "Where the Heart is", was introduced last year and six families participated, receiving beautiful wall portraits for their homes. 

Insight Photography offers the program at no cost to the families, with photographers, labs and framers donating their services.
This year, on August 6, five very special families joined Aynsley and I at the Bow Valley Ranche in Fish Creek Park.  It was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed traipsing around the park finding unique backdrops for each family. 
At this point, all of the families have chosen their favourite portraits, and we are in the process of working with sponsors to get the wall portraits printed and framed.  The finished wall portraits will be on display at the UN World Habitat Day luncheon at the Delta Bow Valley on October 3, 2011.  The portraits will be presented to the families sometime after that.  I'll keep you in the loop as the details are finalized.
Warmest regards,
Leanne
