Think Pink was a Huge Success

We were very honored last night to be selected as the beneficiary of the proceeds from the Think Pink Progressive Bridal Showcase. It was a wonderful evening that was hosted at 3 different locations in the Santa Fe Arts District; Studio Wed, Space Gallery and Artwork Network. Think Pink was sponsored by Party Singers, Paper Moon Weddings, Cloud 9 and Save the Date Events.

There were numerous wedding vendors involved with one of the highlights of the evening being the silent auction of 4 wedding dresses donated by Little White Dress.

Thank you to all of you for making Think Pink a success! Without a doubt our future Wedding Pink couples will appreciate everything.

Amazing New Program for Survivors - Pink Time Outs

My colleague Jean over at No Boobs About It has launched a wonderful new

program for breast cancer survivors. 

Here is more information:

The Pink Time Outs Program provides women and men, who have recently
finished active treatment( surgery, chemo, radiation) for breast cancer,
with funded short getaways from all things breast cancer.

The Pink Time Outs© Program is about using short getaways to put closure
on the end of active treatment and facilitate the transition to life as a
survivor. The goals of this program are simple:

•A physical and mental break from all talk, sights and routines that
remind us of breast cancer

•The opportunity to feel refreshed in mind, body and spirit

•To enjoy a much-needed time out to recreate and participate in
normalizing activities

•The freedom to think about something other than breast cancer, to begin
thinking about what comes next as a survivor.

The first funded getaway is April 2, 2013 at the Biltmore Estates in
Ashville, North Carolina. To see the details of the trip, please go to
http://noboobsaboutit.org/pink-time-outs/

The winner and companion will be chosen by lottery drawing.

The Biltmore Estates getaway is the first of many getaways planned in the
months to come across the U.S. and Canada.

Happy New Year!

2012 has been a wonderful year and we are proud to announce that we photographed 8 different women as part of our Pink Portraits program and successfully put on our 2nd annual Wedding Pink. Next year's wedding is all set for May and upon the conclusion of that wedding we will have given away 3 weddings all totaling over $100,000.

Pink Portraits - We Need Your Help

We have had a wonderful year photographing women who are being treated for breast cancer and have a had a tremendous response to the Pink Portraits program.

Meanwhile, here is a sneak peek at our next Pink Portrait. This is Mary with her new grandson.

Erin has her Wedding Dress!

As many of you know we recently had a lovely gathering in the Grand Junction/Palisade, CO area. One of the many highlights of the visit was that Erin had an opportunity to pick out her wedding dress. Through the graciousness of ABRA Bridal, Erin had her pick of dresses and we are pleased to announce that she has found the perfect dress! Of course the dress she ultimately picked is not shown below.
