"Flashes of Hope gave our family so much. With all of the medical bills we couldn't afford to have such professional pictures done. The photos captured our family, how we feel - strong, happy, and beautiful. We are all so proud to send the photos to special family members and we will be forever grateful for the amazing gift we received. Thank you so much!"
The Roney Family, Minneapolis

"The opportunity to create portraits of children and their families was both a humbling and uplifting experience. For a moment you feel a little bit of sorrow, but that is instantl replaced by such warmth and joy when you see the bright smiles and charming personalities of children who, despite their struggles, exude happiness, appreciation for life and love of their families."
Mark Adams, LaCour Photography

"If you look into the eyes and the faces of the children that are photographed by Flashes of Hope, you can see that they just emote this dignity and courage... and you can see their personality shine through. It gives them a real sense that they are a person, regardless of what they are going through at this point in their lives, and that the diagnosis of cancer doesn't define them as an individual."
Dr. John Letterio, Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital
People don't expect laughter on a pediatric cancer floor and are surprised to find out that the photo shoots are so much fun. The experience gives the children the opportunity to take a break from the hospital routine to enjoy time with family members.
