Sometimes we just have to cry out for it.  We all need a little love once in a while but rarely do we ask for it. This shot speaks so loudly to me about how I feel sometimes~ frustrated, tired, and in need of some serious TLC.  What I love most about this image is how it acts as a reminder for when those times come… a reminder that all we need to do is surround ourselves with the people who love us. Those who will be there to kiss the tears away and tell us everything is going to be OK.  If you are feeling like you need some love or just need to have a good cry~ go ahead! Cry out for what you need today and receive the love that is waiting for you.

Komen Foundation, Young Survivors Coalition, and all of the magnificent models who continue to inspire me daily. Our next venue will be the “Tickled Pink- Teens for the Cure Event” at the Comcast Center in Philadelphia on November 20th, 2009.  Please come out to see the show and celebrate the beauty, grace and courage of all of the survivors~ while we fight together to find a cure!

portraits with a purpose

portraitmarathonweb2

It is my honor to present the “40 under 40″ Breast Cancer Project, a powerful portrait series celebrating young women in battle and triumph over breast cancer.

For over a year, I have been working with Faith and Hope Boutique on this compelling series of portraits that celebrate the beauty, grace and courage of 40 women diagnosed with breast cancer under age forty.  The work is garnering national attention with inclusion in the prestigious Women in Photography 2008 exhibit, and nods in Rangefinder Magazine and The Photo Review.  You can read about the project here and  view a slideshow of the work here.  (note: some nudity)

You are invited to attend the opening of the exhibit at our Courage Night Event October 7th, 2009.  (Download your invitation)

Following the opening reception, the show will hang October 11th through October 29th at Photo612 Gallery in Haddon Heights, NJ as part of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign.  The exhibit will travel throughout the year culminating with a book project, currently in production.

In honor of the event, our studio is hosting a “Portrait Marathon” offering 40 portraits in 4 days for only $40!  Please come out and support the courageous women who participated in this important project and help us raise money for Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure.
