Every woman carries a story that deserves to be seen, honored, and remembered. At Amy May Photography, I believe portraits are more than just images—they are heirlooms of strength, love, and authenticity. This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am proud to introduce #BeautifulBeyondCancer, a campaign dedicated to celebrating breast cancer survivors through the art of photography.
As a Galena Premier Photographer, my mission has always been to create experiences that help people see their true beauty. Cancer may leave scars, but it cannot diminish the light, courage, or resilience that shines from within. Through #BeautifulBeyondCancer, I invite survivors into my studio to capture portraits that reflect not just who they are, but everything they have overcome.
Why #BeautifulBeyondCancer Matters
Cancer changes lives in ways that are both visible and invisible. Too often, survivors focus on what they’ve lost rather than what they’ve gained—their strength, their wisdom, and their unshakable spirit. This portrait series offers an opportunity to pause, breathe, and celebrate the beauty that exists beyond diagnosis.
These sessions are about empowerment. Survivors step in front of the camera, not as patients, but as warriors. With every click of the shutter, we create a visual reminder that beauty is not limited by circumstance.
The Portrait Experience
As a Galena Photographer with years of experience in luxury portraiture and boudoir, I guide each client through a personalized experience designed to make them feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated. From professional hair and makeup to careful posing and lighting, every detail is tailored to highlight the authentic self.
During the #BeautifulBeyondCancer campaign, survivors will receive a complimentary portrait session in my Galena studio. These images are more than photographs—they are keepsakes of courage and a testament to living beautifully beyond cancer.

Closing Thoughts
At Amy May Photography, I have always believed that portraits are not just about how you look, but how you feel when you see yourself. The #BeautifulBeyondCancer campaign is my way of giving back to the community, offering survivors the chance to see themselves in a new light—strong, radiant, and absolutely beautiful.
Because beyond the scars, beyond the struggles, beyond the cancer… there is you.
