\"Portrait<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Help Portrait is an annual event at which students from the King University Digital Media Art & Design program, along with the Art & Design Club, provide free family portraits for families who might not otherwise be able to afford them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past event in Fall of 2024, marked the 13th year of the Help Portrait event and we were able to make images for 22 families. Every family received a framed 5 x 7 inch photograph, a flash drive of images, Christmas cards, and more. Donations from local businesses such as Chick-Fil-A, Food City, Blackbird Bakery, and King University food services provided free food and refreshments for the participating families while they waited for their appointment time and images to be printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s event will happen on Saturday, Nov 22 from 10am – 4 pm on the top floor of the Bristol Public Library. Please scroll down to sign up and for more information about the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After signing up using the form below, families will receive an email or phone call to confirm their time slot. Families should show up to the event area on the top floor of the library a few minutes before their chosen time slot using the upper parking lot or walking through the library. Families will first come to a table of greeters that will confirm the appointment time and will need wait in the main hallway until their time slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At or near the group’s time slot, a volunteer will lead the family to their photographer. After the images are taken, the families will be led back to the hallway to wait for their images to be edited and for their image to be printed and framed, which averages about 30 mins. Families may also enjoy the library and come back to pick up the free, framed print and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
