School Portraits for Nikolaev Orphanage #5
📸 School Portraits for Nikolaev Orphanage #5
During our annual visit to the Nikolaev Orphanage, Tatiana decided to take professional portraits of the children so each one would have their own beautifully made headshot.
She chose one of the brightest rooms in the dormitory and began photographing using natural window light. The atmosphere was full of laughter and curiosity — the children were thrilled that someone was taking their pictures. The line never seemed to end, and we quickly ran out of memory as everyone eagerly asked when they could see their photos.
Back in Canada, Tatiana processed and professionally printed each portrait before sending them back to Nikolaev. Vladimir Kotov proudly delivered the portraits to every child — one of the most heartwarming moments of 2010.
Today, framed copies of these portraits can be found in almost every room of the orphanage, serving as a lasting memory of I WILL’s care and connection.
