Flashes of Hope




The last day of May I spent at Comer Children's Hospital as the photographer for the Flashes of Hope photoshoot. If you don't know about this non-profit please take a moment to view their site.
"Flashes of Hope is a nonprofit organization that changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research."

I got to work with eight families that day, from toddlers to late teens. Here are some of the images, it's always difficult to limit them down, but here goes

who doesn't love a big brother shot

















Girls just want to have fun.

Laughing helps us all.



His Mom told me she would love a shot with the hat, of course he wasn't having it for a good while



Most of the images are taken in an office, desks moved out of the way etc.. so there isn't a lot of room for lighting, it's all about the face





Some are taken bedside





All are so meaningful to be a part of
