Shoots for a Cure
Orange Blossom Photography is excited to announce a partnership with Shoots for a Cure (formerly known as Think Pink Photography). Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a charitable organization that serves two main purposes – celebrating life and supporting the cause. Recently, we changed our name and our support. We now want to support ALL cancer patients, not just breast cancer.
Through our professional photographer network, we are helping cancer patients to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. Individuals may choose to document their fight against the disease before or during treatment, or prefer to capture their victory by scheduling a session within 12 months after treatment is completed. Photographers world-wide are now available to donate time and talent to celebrate life and support the cause. There is no cost or obligation to the cancer patient. Clients participating in a Shoots for a Cure session will receive a complimentary photo session, as well as a set of 10 small prints from the session. They will also receive a discount on any additional portraits they wish to purchase, although there is absolutely no purchase required at any time.
To support the cause, we donate and fundraise for The American Cancer Society and the Susan G Komen Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The American Cancer Society, the Susan G Komen Foundation, in our name, or used 100% for marketing and awareness of our program.
Please subscribe to our blog (on the Shoots for a Cure website) and tell your friends and family about Shoots for a Cure. Awareness is everything and we can’t be successful without you.
I encourage you to view our website, make a donation, or hire a photographer that supports Shoots for a Cure! If you hire me, mention Shoots for a Cure and I will make a personal donation to the organization. If you, or someone you know, would like to schedule a Shoots for a Cure session, please contact me for details.
I am very proud to be a network photographer with Shoots for a Cure, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Shoots for a Cure website at http://shootsforacure.com

What to Wear Weekend
Before every session, most clients always ask, "What should I wear?"
To me style is so personal. It reflects who you are, what you are and more importantly it shows your self esteem. You want your portraits to mirror all of these things and more. The first thing I generally tell my clients is that you need to be comfortable. Although a photo session is a great excuse to add some new fits to your closet, it's not the time to try out a new style or the latest trends. So many people love to go super trendy, but unfortunately, unless your 17, you're going to look back at your pictures 10 years from now and wonder, "What was I thinking?" (remember shoulder pads and stirrup pants?). Your clothes should be timeless and lack excessive flair or trendy prints. You want to feel classy, comfortable and most importantly - you should feel AMAZING in what ever you choose to wear. Feel free to accessorize with simple necklaces, bracelets or earrings - but remember, less is more.
When choosing clothing for family sessions, matchy/matchy is not cute unless they're under the age of 2 - but even then it's questionable. It's best to find that one outfit or piece of clothing that you just can't live without (it's often for the little girl in your life!) and then build around that item. This one item can be anything! In the photo below it is the little girl's floral dress. Generally this center piece has color, print and is 'lively.' In the coordinating outfits, it's best to steer clear of prints and stripes. Let your center piece, stay center. Don't forget to think texture. Texture will help create depth and more interesting portraits.
One last note - don't forget to layer! Having layers creates more looks!
