As a career photographer I've seen some breathtaking things...the intimate beauty of people falling in love and making other people...the inspirational beauty of people making things that make the world a better place, and the heartbreaking beauty of people saying goodbye to people they love.

I thought I knew the value of an image...at least a little better than most.

Then one photo…
taken of me walking through stage 3 breast cancer,
reminded me that I'm more than the sum of my parts,
showed me beauty that I thought was gone,
opened my eyes to who I (really) am, and...
allowed me to let go of everything else.
I will never forget how that made me feel.
If you've ever felt less than 100% genuine in front of the camera.
If you've hidden the parts you see as 'less than'.
If you rely on retouching and would rather not.

If you've let others dictate your image and felt less than excited about the result.
If you've walked through your own sickness or someone else's and felt diminished by it
If your loss, grief, or other transition has derailed you temporarily
If you crave your own magnificence under all those layers of expectations and trends. 
I’m here to remind you, of you.

All of you

All of you.
