Habitat for Humanity Family Portraits Presented

We first met the five Habitat for Humanity families at Fish Creek Park when we got together to take their portraits on a beautiful August day.  Last week Aynsley and I had the pleasure of presenting our finished wall portraits to all five families.  We were warmly welcomed into their new homes and happily helped them hang their portraits.  We received this eloquent and heart-warming email from Abu:

"Thank you very much for the wonderful family photo portrait that we received as a Christmas gift from you. A family portrait is a relatively small part of home interior, but when I walked into our home and saw our family's portrait for the first time hanging on the wall in the living room, the house felt so much warmer, as if it gained a personality. Before we had received this portrait, our house looked like any other house, but now it is definitely our house.

The portrait is outstanding. It's like a painting out of an art gallery. The background is idyllic and our young family's colours, poses and expressions blend in just perfectly, showing as if we're all an integral part of the nature's green riot of new life. Everyone on the photograph looks their natural selves, and everyone's personality shines through freely. It's a beauty, it's a piece of art.

We really appreciate your time, work and the final photo product of highest quality you generously donated to us as a Habitat for Humanity family. From the first moment we met you guys on the photo shoot morning, we were surrounded by your genuine friendliness and understanding. I know that managing our four toddlers (and their sometimes even more grumpy parents) is quite a challenging task, but you guys were most flexible and helping. How you searched and quickly found the most suitable location for the photo shoot is impressive. Your gentle and professional approach during the photo shoot provided a great experience.

The result of your work is an amazing piece of memory for us to own during our lifetimes, and probably even longer."
