SAN ANTONIO, TX, March 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Studio Boudoir Photography, San Antonio's premier boudoir photography studio, is proud to announce the launch of Boudoir4theCure. The goal of Boudoir4theCure is to raise funds through various events, which will directly benefit the efforts of the Susan G. Komen Foundation to find a cure for breast cancer.
Boudoir has become one of the hottest trends in photography, as more women boldly step in front of the camera to capture an intimate and elegant side of themselves for a significant other. Most women shoot in lingerie, however, a jersey from a favorite sports team, a sexy dress, and men's dress shirts are also popular. Studio Boudoir credits their all-female staff, private studio, and editorial photography style as reasons for the success of their business, shooting over 200 women in the San Antonio area in 2011.
According to Anita Lubke, "Most of our clients are brides doing a boudoir session as the perfect gift for their groom on their wedding day. But we also have women of all ages, shapes, and sizes come in for different reasons such as anniversaries, Valentine's and birthdays."
According to Lubke, women also do a boudoir session due to recent lifestyle changes. "We have been honored to photograph several clients who are in the midst of dealing with breast cancer. They are trying to regain their confidence or celebrate a milestone in their difficult journey. These are special clients and we really want to make sure they have a great experience." Lubke has been so moved by those clients that it has signed on with The Susan G. Komen Foundation Passionately Pink for the Cure Organization to create Boudoir4theCure.
Boudoir4theCure plans to hold two Boudoir Marathons annually, with the first held on May 12, 2012, and one in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A Boudoir Marathon is a full day of shooting, with special photo sessions and pricing. Studio Boudoir Photography (www.studioboudoirphotography.com) plans to donate 50% of their net proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation on behalf of Boudoir4theCure.
"We've done marathons before, but this one is special. It's a way to give back and support our clients, and women everywhere, who are dealing with this terrible disease. This is our first of hopefully many to support Boudoir4theCure. Clients will have a great time, walk away with some fabulous photographs, and help us support a cure for breast cancer," says Lubke.
More information, including pricing and packages, can be found at www.boudoir4thecure.com.
Visit www.studioboudoirphotography.com for information on the studio, samples of their work, and other information on boudoir photography. As their last Boudoir Marathon sold out in October, anyone interested in participating should send an inquiry to info@boudoir4thecure.com or contact Anita Lubke at 210-865-8040.
In business since early 2011, Studio Boudoir Photography offers a classy, fun, and sexy approach to boudoir photography. Clients experience professional makeup and hair services as they are vamped up for their own "supermodel for a day" experience in front of the camera. Studio Boudoir's all-female staff ensures clients are comfortable and satisfied during their private time in the studio.

Research shows 50 years of motherhood manuals set standards too high for new moms
2012-03-14
New research at the University of Warwick into 50 years of motherhood manuals has revealed how despite their differences they have always issued advice as orders and set unattainably high standards for new mums and babies.
Angela Davis, from the Department of History at the University of Warwick, carried out 160 interviews with women of all ages and from all backgrounds to explore their experiences of motherhood for her new book, Modern Motherhood: Women and Family in England, 1945-2000.
She spoke to women about the advice given by six childcare 'experts' who had all ...
University of Warwick research suggests suicide rates higher in Protestant areas than Catholic
2012-03-14
Research from the University of Warwick suggests suicide rates are much higher in protestant areas than catholic areas.
Professor Sascha Becker from the University of Warwick's Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Society (CAGE) has published his latest paper Knocking on Heaven's Door? Protestantism and Suicide.
The study investigates whether religion is an influence in the decision to commit suicide, above and beyond other matters that may play a role, such as the weather, literacy, mental health or financial situation.
Professor Becker and his co-author, ...
3-D printer with nano precision
2012-03-14
Printing three dimensional objects with incredibly fine details is now possible using "two-photon lithography". With this technology, tiny structures on a nanometer scale can be fabricated. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) have now made a major breakthrough in speeding up this printing technique: The high-precision-3D-printer at TU Vienna is orders of magnitude faster than similar devices (see video). This opens up completely new areas of application, such as in medicine.

JoVE shows how researchers open the brain to new treatments
2012-03-14
One of the trickiest parts of treating brain conditions is the blood brain barrier, a blockade of cells that prevent both harmful toxins and helpful pharmaceuticals from getting to the body's control center. But, a technique published in JoVE, uses an MRI machine to guide the use of microbubbles and focused ultrasound to help drugs enter the brain, which may open new treatment avenues for devastating conditions like Alzheimer's and brain cancers.
"It's getting close to the point where this could be done safely in humans," said paper-author Meaghan O'Reilly, "there is ...
Scientists tap the cognitive genius of tots to make computers smarter
2012-03-14
People often wonder if computers make children smarter. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are asking the reverse question: Can children make computers smarter? And the answer appears to be 'yes.'
UC Berkeley researchers are tapping the cognitive smarts of babies, toddlers and preschoolers to program computers to think more like humans.
If replicated in machines, the computational models based on baby brainpower could give a major boost to artificial intelligence, which historically has had difficulty handling nuances and uncertainty, researchers ...
Reduced baby risk from another cesarean
2012-03-14
A major study led by the University of Adelaide has found that women who have had one prior cesarean can lower the risk of death and serious complications for their next baby - and themselves - by electing to have another cesarean.
The study, known as the Birth After Caesarean (BAC) study, is the first of its kind in the world. It involves more than 2300 women and their babies and 14 Australian maternity hospitals. The results are published this week in the international journal, PLoS Medicine.
The study shows that infants born to women who had a planned elective ...
St. Michael's doctor uses wiki to empower patients and help them to develop asthma action plans
2012-03-14
TORONTO, Ont., March 13, 2012—Imagine that you have asthma, and rather than give you a set of instructions about what to do if you have an attack, your doctor invites you to help write them?
Would that make patients feel more engaged and empowered in managing their health care, and would that ultimately make them happier if not healthier?
These questions are being raised by Dr. Samir Gupta, a respirologist at St. Michael's Hospital.
His research has found that a wiki – a website developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content ...
Get me out of this slump! Visual illusions improve sports performance
2012-03-14
With the NCAA men's college basketball tournament set to begin, college basketball fans around the United States are in the throes of March Madness. Anyone who has seen a game knows that the fans are like extra players on the court, and this is especially true during critical free throws. Fans of the opposing team will wave anything they can, from giant inflatable noodles to big heads, to make it difficult for players to focus on the basket.
But one way a player might be able to improve his chances at making that free throw is by tricking himself into thinking the basket ...
Post-exposure antibody treatment protects primates from Ebola, Marburg viruses
2012-03-14
Army scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that antibody-based therapies can successfully protect monkeys from the deadly Ebola and Marburg viruses. In addition, the animals were fully protected even when treatment was administered two days post-infection, an accomplishment unmatched by any experimental therapy for these viruses to date. The work appears in this week's electronic edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, cause hemorrhagic fever with human case fatality rates as high as 90 percent. They ...
Global warming skepticism climbs during tough economic times
2012-03-14
STORRS, Conn. – The American public's growing skepticism in recent years about the existence of man-made global warming is rooted in apprehension about the troubled economy, a University of Connecticut study suggests.
Lyle Scruggs, associate professor of political science in UConn's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, says the public's belief in climate change dropped significantly as the economy dipped and unemployment climbed in the late 2000s.
His research with UConn political science graduate student Salil Benegal found that popular alternative explanations -- ...
