It has been four years since I lost my mom to breast cancer. I honor her by helping others currently battling it. Earlier this month I photographed a fundraiser benefiting The Tiffany Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to provide hope for women who are afflicted with Breast Cancer. You can learn more about it at http://www.tiffanyfoundation.org/. This fundraiser was at the beautful Villa Siena in Gilbert. Here are a few pics.

Fun Party Idea

I recently met Anna Hernandez, who owns Fun 2 See face painting. She was generously donating her time and talent at a breast cancer fundraiser. This woman takes face painting to the next level.

Serenade

I recently photographed a fundraiser for the TaTa Sisterhood, working to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk here in Phoenix. I met lots of fabulous people and I will be blogging about some of them soon. For now I just want to show you a glimpse of the evening. This image shows four survivors being serenaded with Melissa Etheridge’s song, ”I Run for Life.” It was followed by lots of hugs and tears.

Attitude is Everything

Last month I photographed a fundraiser called Krystal’s Kasino. Krystal is a young woman with stage 4 breast cancer and lots of medical bills. She is a small business owner, a wife and a mother of young kids. She is also blessed with a circle of loving and generous people who put together a ”Kasino” night to raise money for her medical bills.

These are the amazing women who organized the event taking a quick second to pose for a picture with Krystal. They all did such a great job.

These fabulous treats, created by Sugar Dreams, were donated to the event. I just love the saying on the cake, “Attitude is Everything.”

Isn’t she just adorable? This cute little chocolate lab generously donated and auctioned off… I was soooo tempted.

As the evening progressed, lighting became a bit of a problem. We were outdoors at the Seville Country Club. I was able to get a few decent shots by using my Gary Fong Lightsphere with the cap off the top. The patio area was covered so I bounced off the ceiling. I used my 50mm 1.4 the whole time.
