As posted last week, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re once again participating in Images for a Cure, a national fundraising event held by photographers, benefiting breast cancer research.  As promised, here are all the details.

Images for a Cure calls for photographers to offer portrait session bookings for one day in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with all session fee proceeds benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Just like last year, we’re going to cheat a bit and offer three five days, starting next week, Monday, October 17 through Friday, October 21.  Your portrait session doesn’t have to be scheduled during that time frame, just booked (i.e., paid for with your donation).

In exchange for your donation we’re offering portrait mini sessions of whatever type you like - couples’ portraits, family portraits, kids’ portraits, or senior portraits - and we’re going to offer them three ways, depending on your donation…

• A donation of $50, a significant savings over our normal rates, is the minimum required to reserve your portrait session.
• A donation of $75 will reserve your portrait session and entitle you to a 10% discount on all prints and products from your session.
• A donation of $100 (or more) will reserve your portrait session and entitle you to a 20% discount on all prints and products from your session.

Here’s what you’ll need to do to reserve your special portrait session…

1. At some point Monday, October 17 through Friday, October 21, head over to this website and give your donation benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Use the list above to determine how much you’d like to give, but keep in mind that you can give more if you so desire.  Your donation serves as your session fee and will reserve your portrait session with us.
2. Contact us to schedule your portrait session.  Again, your portrait session doesn’t have to be scheduled for the Oct. 17 - Oct. 21 time frame; that’s just when you’ll need to provide your donation.  When you contact us, please let us know you’re participating in the Images for a Cure event.  You’ll also need to email us (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) your donation receipt so we can apply the appropriate discounts and keep track of everything.
3. After your portrait session is complete, you’ll be provided with an online gallery where you’ll be able to purchase prints and other products from your portrait session, just like any other client.  We’ll send you relevant pricing info when you contact us to schedule your session.  If you’d like to know beforehand, just let us know.
4. Feel great about what you’ve done to help this great cause.
5. Share this post with all your family and friends on Facebook and Twitter.  The more support, the better!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Regardless of whether or not you choose to book a portrait session with us, please consider making a donation.  Again, you can head over to this website and give whatever you’re comfortable with.  It all goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and every penny counts.

Finally, whether you choose to participate or not, please use the share links below to help spread the word to those that might wish to participate.  This is a great cause, and the more support we can get, the better.  Thanks!

My, how time flies when you’re having fun!  It’s October again.  October brings us Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which brings us Images for a Cure, a national fundraising event for breast cancer research.  Once again, for one day in the coming weeks, we’ll be offering portrait mini-sessions at a special price, all session fee proceeds for which will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

We had great success with this event last year, and we hope to do even better this year.  We’ll have more details soon.  In the meantime, please take a second to share this with your family and friends; we’ve made it easy with the share links below.  Thanks!

We recently had the pleasure of shooting Tori’s Senior Portrait over in historic downtown Richmond (TX).  Tori happens to be my younger sister, and we’ll be watching her walk across the stage at her graduation next month.  It’s hard to believe how fast they grow up!  Below, you’ll find a few of our favorite shots from Tori’s session.  Enjoy!

We’ve also done a number of shoots with Tori’s (and my) brother, Taylor, as well.  Be sure to take look here and here.

A few weeks ago, we shot Jenny’s Senior Portrait over at Katy Heritage Society.  Jenny is actually the younger sister of one of our regular clients, Brenda, whose maternity portrait we did back in October with her husband, Ray.  Enjoy!

One of our recent clients, Carmen, was thrilled to take delivery of a 24x30 Fine Art Gallery Wrap this past weekend.  The Fine Art Gallery Wrap, which she chose to display over the mantle in the sitting room, was a perfect compliment to her and her husband’s beautifully decorated home.

Fine Art Gallery Wraps are one of the finest ways available to display your portraits.  Your portrait is printed directly on canvas and wrapped around a stretcher frame, giving your portrait the look and feel of a piece of fine art.  For more information about our Fine Art Gallery Wraps, be sure to take a look at our products page.
