this post comes with a bit of hesitation only because i have to admit my nievity.

i had no idea that over 4000 women in ontario that were under the age of 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.  wow.  that is a daunting number to be faced with.

even with those grim numbers, somehow rething breast cancer’s romp event was a celebration!  a celebration for survivors, a unified atmosphere determined to beat this thing and a fundraising goal to raise awareness.  i am officially a supporter of rething breast cancer.

so our job was to simply take photos that night.  but alex didn’t want to do the usual event photography and given that the theme was flappers from the 1920 era, which in my opinion was the most gamorous era ever, the night lent itself to a more dramatically lit scene to document the romp ensembles.  backdrop:  the beautiful burroughes buildings (queen west – toronto). prop: gorgeous red gibson piano. 

enjoy the slideshow but more importantly, check out their website and learn as much as you can!!!
