Images for a Cure: A National Fundraising Event for Photographers » 2009

Jennifer Hester of Rockstar Imaging has decided to donate not 1, or 2, or 3 action sets…but 5! Yes, 5! These actions are so awesome, so don’t miss this one! These actions are colorful, fun, and of course, give that extra pop to your photos. Rockstar Imaging also has album design and posing guides, but their actions are a cut above the rest.

Jen is also getting ready to launch www.ExposeHope.com. This is a place for everyone to submit stories about giving back. Let others know what they can do to help. Stay tuned for that site so you can get in on giving back.

Thanks so much Jen for the awesome actions…5 people are going to be really lucky when they win these!!!

Why did you want to get involved with Images for a Cure?

How has Breast Cancer (or any cancer) made an impact on your life?
My Grandmother and Aunt were both diagnosed with breast cancer when i was very young. At 8 years old, I discovered lumps in my breasts as well. I was fortunate they were cysts. Cancer hits us at any age, during any stage in life.

How did photography start for you?
I didn’t begin my journey trying to sell pictures. I make photo buttons and mugs from pictures others send in. One day, I was asked if i could make the buttons for a fundraising event. I took the pictures, printed and pressed on site. So many people liked the pictures i took, they asked for a print along with the button and inquired about my session fees. I’ve only done a few shoots, and look forward to more in the future. (shout out to my friends at Adorama for having so very affordable equipment for us “up and coming”)

Details of her sessions:
3 1/2 inch metal pin back buttons $ 5.00 11 oz ceramic coffee mugs $ 12.00 made from pix you send in, or ones we take for you. I would like to donate 20% of sales from these items to Images for a Cure

JennHyman Images for a Cure welcomes Greenville, SC photography studio C&C! Comprised of 3 photographers who are all candid, natural shooters…they watch moments unfold and are right there to grab them. They show a different side of events, one that can only be caught in the moment. They photograph engagements, portraits and weddings and do all in a very photo-journalistic manner.

Website: www.candcphotographyonline.com | Blog: http://cc.toceffect.com/wp

Why did you want to get involved with Images for a Cure?
C&C Photography has three photographers who are each employed full time in public service, two firefighters and a paramedic, and due to our relations with the medical field we come across patients struggling with breast cancer and other forms of cancer on a regular basis. We feel that charities are very important and with the struggling economy we try to be a part of each offer that comes our way.

How has Breast Cancer (or any cancer) made an impact on your life?
One of our photographers has had a family history of breast cancer and it has made joining this cause even more important to us. Through out life we each have come across a family member who was thought to have had cancer or who was diagnosed with the disease.

What other charities are you involved with?
We are supporters of the SC Special Olympics and sponsors for an upcoming event held by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Details of their sessions:
Portrait sessions: $50 for one hour $25 for each additional hour.
Print packages available starting at $40 and a CD of ALL images from your session is available for $200 which will be discounted to $150 for this event.

Why did you want to get involved with Images for a Cure?

I have been incredibly blessed in my life and career to have some amazing women as guides and mentors. One of the things I learned from them was the importance of being an active part of your community – whether that community be your neighborhood, your town, your school or your world. I firmly believe that it is important to pay it forward, take care of each other and try to make a small impact on the lives of those who live around you. As the lead photographer at Arkansas Sports Photography I have always made an intentional and conscious effort to support the lives of the people I photograph, their schools and their communities while at the same time trying to take care of my own family. Images for a Cure is simply a wonderful and timely extension of that effort.

How has Breast Cancer (or any cancer) made an impact on your life?

One of the women who made an early and lasting impression on who I am today was my grandmother Maxine. Describing her as an “active part of her community” would be an understatement. She set an amazing example for me, we were incredibly close and, since her death to breast cancer in 1994, not a day goes by that I don’t think of her and smile. She is with me always.

Tell us something fun about you

While I am the ultimate Razorback fan (honest to goodness one of my first sentences was “Wooo Pig Sooie”) I think a fun tidit about me is that I am the “person” to the most beautiful and caring boxer, Bear Bryant. Yes, Bear Bryant was the legendary coach of Alabama, but did you know that he was born in Arkansas? My boxer is definitely not an Alabama fan. If Bear the Boxer could he would happily follow me to every sporting event I photograph and is quite often the subject of my photography. He is the best dog ever, one of my best buds and even has his own Facebook page!

Details of their sessions:

On Sunday, October 11, 2009, Arkansas Sports Photography will be donating 100% of its session fees to the goal of the Breast Cancer Research Fund – raising funds for research for the prevention and cure of breast cancer in our lifetime.

Since the majority of our photography focuses on youth, high school and college athletics in Arkansas, we have quite a large gallery of photos featuring Arkansas athletes ranging from 6 years to 60 years of age. To further the cause of Images for A Cure, we will donate half of the proceeds from Arkansas Sports Photography sport gallery sales the weekend of October 9th to the support of BCRF. To see our gallery, visit http://arsportsphoto.zenfolio.com to helping the Breast Cancer Research Fund find a cure.

Why did you want to get involved with Images for a Cure?

I wanted to get involved with Images for a Cure because it is a tangible way for me to help. I’m a doer and a fixer. I may not be able to fix cancer but Images for a Cure lets me be a ‘doer’ for cancer and also lets other people be ‘doers’ too.

How has Breast Cancer (or any cancer) made an impact on your life?

It seems that no matter who you are these days, you know someone who has been affected by cancer. Personally, I have an aunt who was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo treatment, including a mastectomy. Additionally, the mother of one of my very close friends died of breast cancer in her early 40’s. Another friend’s very young (under 3 years old) daughter was diagnosed with, treated for, and beat, leukemia.

What is your greatest achievement?

My greatest achievement would have to be having the guts to stand up for the truth and stick to my morals even when it isn’t the most convenient, or easiest, thing to do. Personal integrity is a big deal to me.

Details of their sessions:

Mini Session fee is $100. Full session fee is $200. Extras: 25% discount on all prints and products and FREE custom holiday card design. Email: info@cyephotography.com Website: www.cyephotography.com Blog: www.cyephotography.com/blog
