I was impressed by the recent cover story in the Sept issue of PDN of all the places photographers can volunteer their services. These photos are some I took at a portrait session last April with children in Flashes of Hope through the local chapter of ASMP in Phoenix, Arizona. It was an exhausting day but every child's personality melted away any fatigue as I saw the best in the human spirit. Fit it in to your schedule. Volunteering was very rewarding in so many ways.
