Portraits of Love - for Military Families

Since the beginning of September, 5th Street Photography has been a part of the Portraits of Love program which was started by Soldiers' Angels - a non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of our armed forces and their families. The Portraits of Love program is where photographers can donate their time to take photos of families of those serving overseas. Then the families can choose which photograph to have sent to their loved one thanks to Kodak.

We have been a part of this good cause for a couple months now, but have had little inquiries. Until yesterday when we received a call from a reporter from our local newspaper. He is doing a story on the Portraits of Love and will be coming over to do an interview with us. Our hope is that with the help of the local newspaper, we can generate more buzz about the program as it is a wonderful opportunity for military families.

And as every post needs a photo, here is a shot of Rocco & Angie from the Benefit for Rocco we put together a couple months ago.
