    That photo is fantastic; your portraits are always so beautiful. I'm hoping to make some time this summer to volunteer but there are so many causes that need attention that I'm having a difficult time trying to choose where to begin.

    P.S. Thanks for your recommendation of Sleep No More – we ended up going and can't get over how amazing it was.

    Thanks! Your images are always so beautiful too! I'm so glad you liked Sleep No More it's such a beautiful and weird performance some people love it some people completely hated it so I'm so glad you liked it! It definitely stays with you too whenever I think back to it I am just blown away by the dancing and innovation.

    Finding an organization to volunteer with is really difficult! I'm totally with you feeling like there is so much to get involved with! A good way to start is to figure out if you want to hands on work or more office work like fundraising. A lot of smaller organizations are always looking for people with special skills like writing, photography, advertising to help out behind the scenes. I always feel torn between human rights organizations and environmental/wildlife ones so I try to do a bit of both volunteering at animal shelters and then working on UNICEF's Next Generation Committee. If you're unsure about an organization Charity Navigator is a good place to start they rate charities and let you know how reputable they are and explains where money raised actually goes.

    Good luck with it I'll be sure to look out for posts about whatever you decide on over the summer! 🙂
