Just hit the little Plus sign at the bottom of your browser when you are on our homepage on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and then select ‘Add to Home Screen’ and voila! Now you can access the latest news, posts and more with one simple touch.

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:

We’ve gone green!

January 20, 2010
Less office paper usage (digital forms)
Less printing chemicals/inks and toners
Less product shipping (less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions)
On location shooting & meetings, saving unnessesary heat, electricity and water usage.

We are proud to say that we are the first ‘green’ studio of it’s kind in Lethbridge and
we hope that this is an idea that catches on with other photographers worldwide!

We WILL still be offering printed products like prints, cards, albums and books, however,
our goal is to reduce the amount of printing we do by offering affordable digital options and by
choosing vendors that are environmentally conscious.

Thanks,
Hope and James Litwin
