GIVING BACK - THINK PINK PHOTOGRAPHY

We all know someone or have heard about someone who has been diagnosed with, is fighting or who has lost a battle with Breast Cancer. As of 10:00am today, I have become a member of a great organization called Think Pink Photography.

Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a non-profit organization that serves two main purposes - celebrating life and supporting the cause.

Through our photography network, we are helping breast cancer survivors and their supporters to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions.

Through donations and various fundraising efforts, all profits from Think Pink Photography will be donated to The Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

As Think Pink Photography grows, so will the opportunities for you to become involved and support this important cause. I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter (on the Think Pink website and Think Pink blog) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. Awareness is everything and we can't be successful without you.

What does this mean for you?

In all honesty I hope nothing but if you or your mother or your sister or your aunt or your best friend or your best friends neighbor (you get the idea - any women you know) has been diagnosed with breast cancer or completed treatment within the past 12 months you (they) qualify for a Think Pink Session.

What is a Think Pink Session?

A Think Pink Session is all about helping breast cancer survivors and their supporters to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. Sessions are available to document the fight before or during treatment or to celebrate the victory when treatment is completed.
Clients will receive a complimentary session, (20) small prints, and a discount off additional print orders.

What else?

Wow, you are asking great questions tonight!!
I also have some great Think Pink Storyboards that are available for anyone and when you purchase them, Angela K Photography will make a donation to Think Pink Photography.
Please check out my website for some sample Think Pink Storyboards (they are the Live Laugh Love storyboards).

What a GREAT Week

This has been a great week!

I just found out that we did it!!! Lillie & her family are going to the ocean at the end of this month!!! I just wanted to say thank you to you if you contributed to Lillie's cause. You should feel great helping making this families dream come true!

I heard on the radio talk show I listen to every day Bob & Sheri that you should always think of others first and then yourself second, and if you do, you will be a happier person! I truly believe this and so does The Giving Foundation. I am so proud to be a part of this great organization!

I am now a member of another great organization for photographers, PPA - Professional Photographers of America, Inc.

My new website is live so be sure and check it out. I also ordered some great new equipment today and I can't wait to try it out. Please be sure and give me a call to get your complimentary session & 8x10 print.

The Rostad's

I went over to the Rostad's this morning to get some pictures of Addisyn & Kasen and well the family too! Addisyn was more interested in playing than listening to mom & dad but I did manage to get some great shots of her! Kasen loves having his picture taken and since he isn't quite as fast as Addisyn I was able to keep up with him. I don't think mom and dad thought we would get any good family shots but we did get a couple!

Thanks for letting me take your pictures guys!

Happy Easter!

I was trying a new setup at home tonight so I convinced Mikkail to sit for a few shots. Did I say convinced, more like bribed!!! She usually loves having her picture taken but tonight she just wanted to play with the eggs we had painted!





Hope you all have a great Easter!

My friend Jodi @ MCP Actions!

When I first starting working with Photoshop I called on Jodi from MCP Actions Resources for Photographers. She helped me learn some tricks when it came to Photoshop and now I like to keep an eye on her to see what else I can learn! Anyways, please check out MCP Actions Resources for Photographers and say Hi to Jodi!

The Promise Project - giving love, grows love!

Imagine having a beautiful child.
Imagine finding out your beautiful child won’t survive past two years old.
Imagine having ONE wish for your child.Imagine everyone banding together to make the wish a reality.

This is the story of Lilie’s family, and this is me (and hopefully all of you), committing myself to find a way to make this happen! Lilie is terminally ill. She has been diagnosed with GM1 Gangliosidosis. It is a rare, incurable lysosomal storage disease (enzyme deficiency) that will ultimately take her life by what research shows. . . by the age of two. She will continue to degenerate, go blind, have seizures, and eventually lose all ability to move and succumb to this disease. She is all but blind and her mom (Jen) is spending her last days enjoying what life is left in her daughter.

All Jen wants to do is take her daughter to the Ocean before she dies and Make a Wish will not grant them the wish because she is under two and they believe that Lilie will not get any benefit from it that it would only benefit the FAMILY… Jen is devastated.

This family is a dear friend of a friend of mine. I’m asking for your help. Myself (along with a bunch of photographer friends of mine) would love to be able to get them to Florida. If we can get them to Florida (there are 6 in their family), they can stay with family…but with tons of medical expenses, right now it just isn’t possible.

So I’m asking for your guys’ help….anything that you could donate to this fabulous cause….$5, $20, $500…if each person donated just $10…that would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Put yourself in their shoes, imagine having one last wish for your child.

One of my photography friends has set up a Paypal account for the donations. If you are willing to help out, please go to Paypal and send funds to the following address sulrich@neb.rr.com.

Thanks for helping with our The Promise Promise - Props BIG GIVE!
