Madison Flashes of Hope - 2013

This is my second year of volunteering with Madison's chapter of Flashes of Hope. A national organization that coordinates free portraits of children and their family who are being treated at the University of Wisconsin's American Family Children's Hospital. It's a great way to give back with photography. It can be a bit of challenge to make portraits of children who may not be feeling their best and at the same time being confronted by a stranger with a camera. But, it's the challenge that I enjoy. Working quickly while being patient is the key to capturing those fleeting candid moments. I'm honored to be part of this great organization.

I was excited to get the opportunity to be the photographer for June's Flashes of Hope. What a great experience if not a little challenging, but that's what photography is about. I love being able to use my photography to give back to the community. For more info, check out the Flashes of Hope website.

Trudy is the coordinator for the Madison Chapter of Flashes of Hope.  She's great to work with and makes sure all goes well with the sessions.   I appreciate the fact that she took a chance and let me fill in for another photographer who couldn't make it.
