April Event: Flashes of Hope Returns to Nashville

April 1st, 2011

It’s finally spring and ASMP Tennessee is looking forward to one of its favorite events: Flashes of Hope is returning to Nashville on April 13th and again on May 18th. If you’re not familiar with these folks, they are a national non-profit organization that works with commercial photographers to provide free portraits to children battling cancer and other life threatening illnesses. They are partners with ASMP in this endeavor and prefer to work with ASMP photographers in the cities in which they operate. Because of this partnership, ASMP members are exempt from the Flashes of Hope portfolio review process.

If you’re interested in participating, please contact Adair Freeman at adair@adairfreeman.com. Adair is our ASMP TN Chapter Liaison for all current and future Flashes of Hope shoot dates and she will assist in gathering the copyright agreement and scheduling.

Photographers will need to provide their own studio lighting and a background of choice.

Shooting dates at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville, TN:

Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Wednesday, May 18, 2011
