Support For a Good Cause | Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

As a family, baby and children’s photographer (in Bakersfield, CA), I’ve been privileged to witness countless precious moments frozen in time through my lens. For over a decade, I’ve had the honor of documenting the laughter, the curious glances, and the tender embraces of babies and children. And every photo I take reminds me to cherish fleeting moments and celebrates the resilience of youth.

But amidst these smiles, there’s a harsh reality: childhood leukemia. It’s a devastating diagnosis, but organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offer hope in the darkness.

Leukemia, as the #1 most diagnosed form of childhood cancer, is a formidable foe. But through the efforts of organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, strides are being made in research, treatment, and support for affected families.

I humbly ask for your support in this endeavor. Whether through donations, sharing this campaign, or simply spreading awareness, your contribution can make a difference in the lives of children battling leukemia. Together, we can be a beacon of hope for those in need, offering comfort, support, and ultimately, the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Join me in capturing hope – one photograph, one smile, and one step closer to a world free from childhood leukemia. Together, we can make a difference.

All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. You can follow this link to my fundraising page: https://pages.lls.org/voy/cca/bako24/iataman

For more information on LLS, please visit www.LLS.org

On behalf of leukemia patients everywhere, thank you for your support.

With gratitude,

Ipek Ataman

May is a special month for me… it’s when this little dream of mine officially began.📸

This month marks 11 years since I started my photography business — and what a journey it has been! ❤️

From my very first session to now, I’ve had the honor of capturing thousands of memories, meeting incredible families, watching little ones grow, and building a business that means so much to me. 🫠

Thank you to every client who has trusted me with your moments, big and small. Your support has shaped this business and my heart in more ways than I can say. 🙏🏻❤️
