Those are 2 very scary words for a woman. I have recently had the opportunity to meet a wonderful number of woman who have been affected by breast cancer. I am working on a project to raise money for breast cancer research and I need YOUR help. A little bit about my mission:
I am currently photographing women of all races, ages, etc. who have or have survived breast cancer. I have photographed 10 woman so far and I can not even begin to tell you the emotion I've felt from these wonderful ladies. Each story is different, yet similar at the same time. I won't go into too much of it right now. I will save it for the book.
What book, you ask? Well, in an effort to raise money for research, with the photos I am taking from the session, I will be designing a coffee table book. Each woman I photograph will be featured in the book. I have found a company who will be professionally printing and binding the books. I know they are going to turn out beautiful. The one thing about the company is they do require a MINIMUM order of 250 books. So, I am taking pre-orders for the books now. These books are NON-profit. ALL proceeds will go to Breast Cancer research. So, I need your help. If you would like to purchase a book, please email me at photosbyrachel@aol.com
My last photo session will be in July and the book is expected to be out sometime at the end of August, beginning of September. It will be between 48 and 64 pages in length and measure 9x11 finished off with a dust jacket.
We also expect to have a press release coming out soon and maybe some news coverage to get the word out about the books.
If you know a woman who has breast cancer or has survived breast cancer who may be interested in doing a photo session, please have them contact me. My June and July sessions are just about full, so I may open up one more day.

Rachela-
Your website was passed along to my by a neighbor in our charming & surprsingly quaint subdivision in Valrico ( a 'burb bedroom community of Tampa, FL.) I am a 55 year old, long-time volunteer with the American Cancer Society who was diagnosed in mid Nov. of '06 & had a modified radical mastectomy on 12/4. I breezed through the 4-1/2 months of chemotheraphy with minimal emotional effects- the physical ones,(loss of hair, eyebrows & lashes, etc.) were wonderfully dealt with as the ACS has a fantastic program called "Look Good-Feel Better".
I am at the crossroads of the reconstructive process of this incidious disease, as the options for the physical aspect of recovery are quite perplexing, challenging and definitely life-altering!
Would appreciate a a response at your earliest convenience. Thanks!
