Max

There's some kids that pose and smile the minute they see a camera pointed in their direction. And than there's others that rather play a round of chase instead of standing for a picture. Max just happens to be one of those kiddos. Energetic, silly, and always running somewhere. He definitely makes me work for a smile or a glance but when I do get the shots, they never disappoint.

Lights of Hope Auction

Every year EOR (http://www.ethiopianorphanrelief.org/) put on an amazing benefit auction called Lights of Hope in Portland, Oregon. Together with 200ish generous people, they raise funds that support current and future projects in Ethiopia. The past seven years I've been honored to document such an incredible event and follow along in the work that is being done for the orphans of Ethiopia. Please visit their website and follow along at https://www.facebook.com/ethiopian.relief/
