Edmonton Portrait Photography – Rock the Dress for Breast Cancer

Adam and I were so happy to be able to participate in the “Rock the Dress for Breast Cancer” marathon photo shoot fundraiser last week. All of the money raised was donated to the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event.

This fundraiser was especially important for me because my mom is a two-time Breast Cancer survivor. I remember growing up hearing stories about her first bout with Breast Cancer, and I remember seeing her battle it a second time.  What we noticed was there had been vast improvements in treatment and options since she was first diagnosed over 30 years ago.  We strongly believe that this has largely been made possible by the money raised by the various Cancer charities.

The concept of the fundraiser was simple: wear a dress, get portrait photos taken, help a great cause. We had a fantastic time helping women rock their wedding dresses, graduation dress, bridesmaid dresses or regular dresses!
