Maybe we could choose a women's shelter? Will do some research.

Yeah I was thinking about that. If we could find a family shelter that would be great. I'm sure they could use a family portrait :)

Here are some organizations that could use some portraits:

Project Dana (visits elderly in homes)

Next Step Shelter (houses homeless families):

I'm biased towards Next Step Shelter just because the families are able to stick together during their time of houselessness. My limitations are that it can't be before lunch, and I have to be home by 8pm so I can get enough rest to run the Honolulu Marathon the following morning.

Thanks for jumping on board, Augusto! I think we're going to aim for 3pm-5pm. I have shoots in the morning too.

Sweet! That's perfect time. Whatever organization we decide, I'm down. This should be fun.

Hey guys I'd love to join you. Last year I did next step but it has to be at night since they do not open during the day.

We could also do Shriners? Or Leahi?

I would love to help out at the foster home...How do you go about setting something like that up? (I just saw the link for this on a fellow photographers page and thought I'd look into it) So five minutes on here, literally and I'm stuck. Lol

Well, we need to decide on an organization first then we set a time to do so, then just show up with your equipment and then shoot our subjects and make them happy :)

Hi everyone!

I think let's go with the Shriner's Hospital. I would have loved to go with Next Step homeless shelter, but the families aren't there until after 6pm.

I'll reach out to Shriner's via email.
Can you guys make a 3pm - 5pm shoot?

Depends on what day but yes!
