2010 YWCA Women of Distinction Award Winners – [ litwin photography - lethbridge photographer ]

Hope Litwin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:26:21 +0000

Every year for the past 4 years we have had the distinct honor of photographing the annual YWCA Women of Distinction award winners, and every year I am introduced to women who exude excellence, grace, passion, drive, ambition and intelligence. I love doing these sessions and although they are short, I feel it is so important to celebrate their beauty with a special photo session.

So a huge congrats to the winners for 2010; Dr. Bonnie Lee, Mallory Kristjanson, Nadine Chandler and Dr. Tracy Edwards.

Think Pink – [ litwin photography - lethbridge photographer]

Hope Litwin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 17:47:06 +0000

Litwin Photography is excited to announce a partnership with 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.

Through our professional photographer network, we are helping breast 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 breast cancer patient. Clients participating in a Think Pink 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 have partnered with The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

Please subscribe to our blog (on the Think Pink website) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. 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 Think Pink Photography! If you hire me, mention Think Pink and I will make a personal donation to the organization. If you, or someone you know, would like to schedule a Think Pink session, please contact me for details.

I am very proud to be a network photographer with Think Pink Photography, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Think Pink Photography website at:

Shadow of the Bridge – Lethbridge High Level Bridge Centennial Celebration [ litwin photography - Lethbridge Photographer ]

Hope Litwin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:47:32 +0000

After shooting Lance and Diana’s wedding on Saturday the family headed out to the coulees to shoot some photos of the lighting of the high level bridge for the Shadow of The Bridge Centennial Party. It was pretty neat to see the bridge in a new light (pardon the pun) and it was even a bit windy and cool out so the mosquitoes stayed away!

James did quite a bit of shooting, but I got a few shots in myself and thought I’d post one here! In full size, the detail is quite cool!!

Enjoy,

Hope
