Through the LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge (HIC), corporate and community teams partner with a decorator to design the space of a LifeWorks client. LifeWorks clients live in Supportive Housing a program offering subsidized housing to kids who need a "getting on your feet period." LifeWorks clients are former foster care children, former homeless youth and teen parents who may have never before received the help they need for a fresh start.
November Design Group of Austin, Texas contacted us about working with them to create a special canvas artwork piece to be featured in the living room of the makeover apartment. The girl living there was not able to bring her cat there with her, so we made a beautiful sepia-toned 30x30 gallery wrap canvas of her cat so she would always be there with her.

People are very self conscious about a double chin. A good way to avoid a double chin from appearing in photos is to have your subject bring their chin toward the camera (stretching their neck outward) and tell them to press their tongue to the roof of their mouth. Photograph them from slightly above to minimize the look. Yes, it feels awkward, but you can rarely see that in the photos.
