Every Fighter. Every Survivor. Every Life. Every Story Matters.

At I Picture Hope, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Through complimentary portrait experiences, we help individuals and families impacted by cancer, older adults, and those wishing to preserve meaningful memories and legacies.

But we can't do it alone. We're looking for individuals who want to be part of our mission and help us continue making a difference in our community.

We currently have openings for:
Board of Directors
- Vice Chair
- Board Members

Volunteer Committees
- Communications & Public Relations
- Fundraising

We're looking for people who are willing to share their time, talents, ideas, and experience. Whether it's helping guide our organization, building community relationships, supporting fundraising efforts, or spreading awareness, there are many ways to make a difference.

Serving on our Board of Directors is an active commitment. We're looking for individuals who are willing to participate in meetings, contribute ideas, and work alongside us as we continue to grow.

You don't have to be a photographer to be part of I Picture Hope. You just need a willingness to get involved and a passion for helping others.

Every story matters. We'd love for you to be part of ours.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

We honor those living with lung cancer, remember those we have lost, and recognize the families, friends, and caregivers whose lives have also been touched.

Everyone facing lung cancer deserves compassion, support, and care without judgment. Sometimes, showing up means listening, checking in, or simply sitting beside someone when words are hard to find.

This November—and throughout the year—let’s make sure that support continues beyond an awareness post.

Every photograph holds a story—and every person who shares theirs with us becomes part of the I Picture Hope family.

As October comes to a close, we honor our survivors, those still facing cancer and treatment, and those who have passed away. Each holds a place in our hearts and in the story of I Picture Hope.

We remember the smiles, the conversations, the laughter, and the loved ones who stood beside them. These photographs preserve moments that continue to mean so much.

To those still fighting: we see you, and we’re standing with you.
To those we have lost: we remember you with love.
To their families: you will always be part of our IPH family, too.

Thank you for supporting our mission through your encouragement, shares, donations, and kindness. You help us create meaningful portrait experiences where people can feel seen and celebrated.

Every person matters. Every story deserves to be remembered.

This October, we’re revisiting Sheila’s story and the hope she shared with I Picture Hope.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, Sheila shared that her treatment included chemotherapy, radiation, Herceptin, and surgery. During her own journey, she also lost her husband to cancer in 2021, her brother to brain cancer, and a cousin and dear friends.

Through it all, she held onto her spirit and her hope.

Early in treatment, Sheila found support at what was then Candy’s Place. Meeting people who were long-term survivors helped her believe that survival was possible—a hope she carried through her own treatment.

She also spoke about losing her hair and confidence, looking in the mirror, and trying to recognize herself again.

When she shared her I Picture Hope experience with us, Sheila described what it meant to feel like herself:

“For the first time in a long time, I felt like my former self. Hair done. Makeup done. A stunning photo shoot. I didn’t feel like a cancer patient… I felt like me again. That feeling was a gift, and I’m so grateful to the I Picture Hope team for it.”

Sheila, thank you for trusting us with your story. We’re grateful to have captured a moment that meant so much to you.

Sometimes a photograph helps us see ourselves with a little more kindness.

As we revisit our I Picture Hope Warriors, we’re sharing words that Vivian L. Vega of Breast Friends of Pennsylvania shared about her IPH experience:

“There have been many days I have not felt pretty. Since my battle with Breast Cancer, many things about my body have changed. I am not, nor do I look like, the same person I was in 2004. My self-image is not always good. I do not see myself as others do. My husband says I’m beautiful every day. But that is not how I always feel.”

Vivian shared that she was initially hesitant to be photographed. Seeing her portraits brought a moment of recognition: “oh there I am. I remember that girl.”

She also described the connection she found through the experience:

“The emotional impact of the pictures is real hope. Hope for the future. Hope for who you truly are...for the woman you have become. IPH has helped me embrace the beauty in the new me.”

Vivian, thank you for sharing something so personal. Your words remind us why these portrait experiences matter.

I Picture Hope provides complimentary portrait experiences for individuals and families affected by cancer, with professional photography, hair, and makeup helping create time to feel cared for and celebrated.
