Through our professional photographer network, we are helping 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 cancer patient. Clients participating in a Shoots for a Cure 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 donate and fundraise for The American Cancer Society and the Susan G Komen Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The American Cancer Society, the Susan G Komen Foundation, in our name, or used 100% for marketing and awareness of our program.

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

I am very proud to be a network photographer with Shoots for a Cure, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Shoots for a Cure website at http://shootsforacure.com

While planning our Macaroni Kid Mt.Airy-Damascus-Urbana Princess Party a couple months back, I had the extreme pleasure of working with Lauren from HairBow Chateau.  Lauren is a local stay at home mom, who makes hair bows, tutus, flower clips, the most adorable crocheted hats and so much more!  Lauren made each of our Princesses a beautiful flower style bow.  All the girls and mommies loved them!  Now that cooler weather has set in (or is about to set in), Lauren has been posting lots of photos on Facebook of her crocheted hats, they are ADORABLE!!!   Read on to get to know Lauren and HairBow Chateau a little better…plus learn how to enter to win a custom crocheted hat!!

Tell me about yourself

My name is Lauren, I’m originally from Milwaukee, WI., but moved here 2 years ago for my husband’s work & school. I’m a stay at home mom to one amazing & sassy little girl, named Alexandra, who is 3. I like being crafty, watching movies, listening to music, shopping, makeup & animals.

 

Tell me about your business

HairBow Chateau offers specialty, custom HairBows, Tutus, Flower Clips, Flip Flop/shoe clips. I also make Crochet hats, animals, blankets, gloves, flowers & many other fantastic items

 

How did your business get started?

I wanted HairBows to match all of my daughters outfits, so I decided I better make my own & save my husband money. I quickly got offers to make them for friends & family!

 

What do you find most difficult about your job?

The hours! Being a stay at home mom is enough work in itself, I try to devote my days to my daughter & housework. So I’m usually up until 1 or 2am finishing orders.

 

What do you find most rewarding or what do you like best about your job?

Since I haven’t worked in almost 4 years, I felt like I wasn’t “exercising” my brain enough. This gives me the opportunity to be creative, which is a special gift I received from my mother & grandmother. I’m a people pleaser & it makes me feel great that I can create something that others can appreciate.

 

With all the tutu & bow makers out there, why should people choose HairBow Chateau?  What makes your business special/sets you apart?

I take great pride in my craftsmanship with creating all of my products.I like everything to be perfect & all my creations are carefully put together for lasting wear & use. I have only one set of hands, a lot of thought & detail goes into my work & I love doing it!

 

How do people get in touch with you?  See and order products?
