July was National Family Portrait Month and together with other selected photographers from around Australia, we donated our time and talent with the aim of raising $10,000 for the Women’s Cancer Foundation.
In the Blue Mountains, Rachel H Photography photographed over 30 sessions of Mothers, Daughters, Grandmothers and Granddaughters! All participants featured in a book called ‘Mothers and Daughters…A Loving Bond’.
We asked everyone for quotes…. Mothers and Daughters…A Loving Bond…..
The response Australia Wide was overwhelming. Together with photographers nationwide, we raised $30K for Woman’s Cancer Foundation!
Big thanks to everyone who supported us in the mountains and nationwide. What an awesome result!
The target was $10K so this is X3 what we expected!

My daughters were my inspiration during my recovery from ovarian cancer 9 years ago, cheering me on (along with their awesome dad) and providing me with never ending support. We all came through with an incredible bond.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to support research into ovarian cancer in such a lovely way.
Brenda & Molly
It was a way for me as a journalist to do something more personal for the community and to share a special moment in time with my beloved daughter. It was also a way to remember those we have lost to cancer, to pay tribute to them, and to make more people aware of the disease and the symptoms.
Anastasia, Pauline, Carla & Layla
In Carla I was blessed to have a caring and supportive daughter throughout my cancer treatment. I hope she never has the same diagnosis, but I can see Carla will have double the care, support and love with her 2 daughters, Anastasia and Layla, if ever a need arises.

When I look into Sophie’s eyes, I feel complete. She is my purpose, my daughter, my sister and my best friend.
Zoe & Sophie
I love watching my daughter grow in knowledge, beauty and integrity. She clung to me mercilessly in the first 6 years and now I am finding it hard to not cling to her as she moves into her middle teens and gains strength and independence.
She is beautiful inside and out.
