“Chicks who Click”

I recently volunteered for a photography conference here in the valley called “Chicks Who Click”. It was held at Firesky Resort in Scottsdale, AZ and was organized by PPA Charities (www.ppacharities.com). PPA Charities has decided to align itself with Operation Smile. Operation Smile sponsors medical mission trips that provide free cleft lip surgeries that transform lives of many underprivileged children around the world (www.operationsmile.org). As one of just a few Operation Smile studios in Arizona, I am excited about the opportunity I will have to positively affect the lives of children in such a tangible way. Besides making numerous airport runs in order to pick up seminar presenters, my main obligation was to book models for the platform photographers at the event. I was able to book a 2 week old newborn, children and maternity models, as well as high school senior girls and boys. I have attached some of the photographs I captured after the main sessions. Not only was I able to work with and learn from top portrait photographers from around the country, but I was also able to support a wonderful charity in the process! A big thank you to Bert Behnke for allowing me to work with him.
