PORTRAITS FOR ALL
“Portraits for All” believes that every high school senior deserves to have a high-quality senior portrait that they are proud of. We connect students who aren't in a financial position to pay for a portrait session with professional photographers in their area who are willing to donate their time and talent. Any rising high school senior in the Boulder/Denver metro area who qualifies for free or reduced lunch or can demonstrate financial need through another avenue (such as referral by a high school liaison) is eligible to request a session. We will do our best to match you with a photographer if one is available near you. For more info go to:
