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.

The portraits, taken by award-winning photographers, help children feel better about their changing appearance by celebrating it. For families of terminally ill children, it's especially important to have a portrait that preserves forever the beauty, grace and dignity of their child.

I was honored to be a part of the Flashes of Hope project at MD Anderson Hospital in 2009 through ASMP-Houston. Our goal is to photograph every child until every child is cured.
