FLASHES OF HOPE - GIVING BACK TO KIDS WITH CANCER

{Photographing every child with cancer until every child is cured}

Last month I donated my time to photograph these kids at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital for Flashes of Hope.

I have always enjoyed working with kids so I always try to go there at least twice a year, because these kids put always all into perspective for me. It is really inspiring to be with these kids that have an illness and yet, they SMILE to my camera, and we always have a great time.

For a few minutes, I get to be part of their lives and that makes me very happy. We have so much to learn from them... so much!

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did creating them.. and they also remind you to be THANKFUL for everything we have!

If you ever consider volunteering for these photo-shoots please email me at volunteer@paolapaladini.com, or you would like to donate money, please visit Flashes of Hope at www.flashesofhope.org

Clear The Shelters Day {Broward Animal Care and Adoption}

Animal shelters across the country came together this past July 23 for Clear the Shelters! Clear the Shelters it's a nationwide pet adoption initiative that aims to connect animals in need with loving new families. I volunteered my time to photograph all the happy families that adopted that day! Was a day filled with love, slobbery kisses and tail wags! Everyone was HAPPY!!

The final count for Broward Animal Care and Adoption was 45 adoptions and 31 deposits on pets!!! How amazing is that!!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came and made a difference in the lives of these dogs and cats. I just wished every day was Clear The Shelters Day!!

Wise Dogs {To The Rescue}

With the help of Florida Humane Society and CanvasFab, I finally made one of my dreams come true!

I wanted to display on the Shelter's walls, all of these fabulous 12x12 canvases and feature the amazing dogs from this shelter who are looking for their forever homes.

On this wall, you will find all my photographs and designs with inspirational quotes to help keep you positive, sentimental quotes to show you that love does indeed exist, funny quotes to get you through the day, courageous quotes that remind you to be strong, and happy quotes to make you smile! 

These canvases are available to be purchased for $50, and 100% of the profits is donated to Florida Humane Society. By buying one of these canvas, you will support FHS shelter pets and you will help promote the need to find fur-ever homes for these wonderful companions!
