You are no longer “you”, you are now “the woman with cancer”. While there are many resources available to you through the hospitals, clinics, and cancer centers, and these resources are very important as they focus on treating the cancer; there are times when you may feel lost and afraid. Cancer treatment is challenging on your body, mind, and soul and you may find yourself feeling a myriad of emo
tions, both during and after treatment; anxiety, fear, doubt, anger pain, stress, heartache. Nothing is the same as it was before and you wonder how you will get back there again? By now you’re reading this marveling how is a photography studio going to help someone with cancer? Possibly you are thinking, “I don’t want professional photos of myself sitting in a chemo chair all day, or in a hospital bed.” It is essentially fairly simple. You provide the smile and we will capture that enduring smile in your eyes forever. Empowering Hope is a part of Sheila Broderick Photography designed to work specifically with cancer patients. You are not your cancer, and in these photographs, you will see YOU again. When you arrive at our studio your hair and make-up will be done by a professional. You will then go into a photo shoot and have professional photographs taken. During each moment of your session, you will feel empowered and hopeful, and you and your family will receive timeless photographs in a folio box that will be yours forever. For women with cancer, there is no charge for these sessions. This is our gift to you. To show you that life is always beautiful, even when you are living with cancer. How can you help Empowering Hope? There are many ways you can help further our cause! Looking to have your own photos taken? Call and book your session today! When you book a session and purchase a folio box package, a session and folio box is gifted to a woman with cancer. In addition, we are looking for donations of new, or gently used gowns, prom dresses, scarves, wigs, and costume jewelry. Due to the monumental costs involved in cancer treatment, many women do not have the means go out and purchase a new dress to wear for a photo session. By having these items in our Studio we can make the Empowering Hope experience even more exquisite for these women. You may also contact Sheila Broderick at (email) and make a monetary donations to help with the cost of folio boxes and prints that are provided to these women and their families. Love to see a beautiful timeless face?
