Los Angeles portrait photographer lends a hand for a worthy cause

Jan. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- The number of arthritis sufferers is astounding, and many become crippled to the point that the most basic daily needs become a struggle.

“For many, arthritis strips away their humanity.  It is a very frustrating existence.  This is why we were so glad to be a part of the Jingle Bell Run/Walk in Glendale, CA,” said Aaron Gil of FotoNuova.

FotoNuova was on hand for the runners, walkers and families, providing complimentary “Vintage Santa” portraits.  The Santa was modeled after Father Christmas and was an awe-inspiring sight.

“Many of the runners and families were very pleased to see Santa.  Most of the children were just in complete awe at him.  It was a really great time for everyone involved,” Gil continued.

The Jingle Bell Run/Walk was sponsored by Glendale Adventist Medical Center.  Teams exceeded their goal of $100,000 dollars, but FotoNuova was along as well to donate their services for the excellent cause.

“We provided everything necessary for a professionally produced, studio portrait.  It is a portrait that normally commands a very large sum in our studio, but we were happy to provide it for free to those who ran on behalf of arthritis research,” Gil said.

FotoNuova is a full service photography studio, providing family portraits, business portraits and other photography services to Pasadena and surrounding areas.

“We take great pride in making any and all events special with our discerning eye for detail and capturing the perfect moment in each and every portrait.  Our complimentary work at the Jingle Bell Run/Walk is only a sample of our work,” Gil concluded.
