Photographers in Winnipeg are set to bring smiles to the faces of some of the city's less fortunate residents.
Help Portraits is a global movement that provides free professional portraits.
In the past, Winnipeg photographers associated with Help Portraits operated out of schools.
This year, they are setting up at Siloam Mission, Win Gardner Place and Agape Table.
Photographer Ian McCausland says it's a great way for families to create holiday memories.
"Especially when there's younger people and kids involved, I think there's important value to having the opportunity or occasion to recognize your family," McCausland said.
Now that is an idea rooted in compassion.
