Burstin' Out @ Help Portrait

One of my favorite days of the year, December 4th is HelpPortrait day and I love helping people and doing something I love at the same time. HelpPortrait for those of you that don't know is a movement by photographers to take portraits of families who can't afford professional photographers.

Local photographer professional/semi-professionals/enthusiast/plain volunteers come together bringing what they can backdrops/lights/etc and take portraits. A 8x10 is printed and the rest from the session are put onto a CD and provide to the family before Christmas.

This shot was taken during a little downtime that we had. We thought it would be fun to try and take a shot where it looked like someone was bursting out of the backdrop. Of course yours truly was the only one up for jumping.

Thanks Jim for the camera/lights, Marie/Mike for the backdrop, Parthavi for the shutter action.
