Jessica – Habitat for Humanity Builders Ball

Posted by Brian Noah

I have a good friend Robert who is one of the strongest advocates that I know for helping out the underprivileged. Every time I talk to him, he’s telling me about a a different project he’s working on. But there is one specific corporation on which I’ve worked with him multiple times: Habitat for Humanity. This is such a great company. They help people, that wouldn’t qualify for it otherwise, get into a new home. The family helps build the house, and puts a ton of sweat-equity into it. And they are given a special interest rate. The Habitat homes have an incredible impact on the families. A nine year old girl can now have her own room, when she used to share one with her 3 older brothers. A mother can now wash clothes in her own home. They can now have a garage(in Ca.), where their cars won’t be Vandalized It’s not just a hand-out, it’s a hand UP.

Meet Jessica. She is the daughter of Donna Deutchman, CEO of Habitat for Humanity. She’s a High School Senior, and I will be shooting her senior portraits in the coming week. During the annual Builder’s Ball, which was located in the Universal City Marriott, Donna wanted a few photos of Jessica, and Jesse(Jessica’s boyfriend) by the cars. There were a few nice cars there. One was an original ’65 Shelby Cobra, and a Stingray Corvette. But they wanted photos by the RED one. Along with all the other photos I was taking during the event, I was able to capture some great portraits of Jessica and Jesse. I think I outdid what Donna was expecting, And they absolutely loved the images.
