Charity event: Flashes of Hope shoot (Dublin, Ohio)
ASMP photographers have individually volunteered their time over the years to help Flashes of Hope, a program of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, provide childhood cancer families with free photography sessions in local hospitals and special events around the country. The most talented, professional photographers volunteer their time capturing smiles and forever preserving images of courage, beauty, and dignity. The families receive a print portrait package and a digital photo gallery of uplifting black and white portraits at no cost.
As of 10/27/25, Flashes of Hope/Columbus needs 4 more volunteer photographers for an upcoming event in Dublin, Ohio on Sunday morning, December 14th, 2025, to photograph 180 families at NC4K (Nellie’s Champions for Kids) Holiday Party. (They have 10 so far, I believe).
