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.

no comments I had to dig deep this past summer to accept that 40 was really just a number… but last weekend, somewhere between my early morning dive into the salty bay and my 14th mile around the sandy hook, I started to believe it! I was honored to race along side my sisters, my lifelong girlfriend and hundreds of other women. It was truly a remarkable experience! As I approached the finish line of my first (and likely last) triathlon, in all of my glorious “forty-ness,” I saw my 7 year old daughter standing next to my 60-something year old mother, waving and cheering for me as I passed! It was in that moment, that I realized why my mom (a single mother of four daughters) made it mandatory for each of us to know all of the words to Helen Reddy’s “I am woman.”           (Which happens to be my Karaoke song of choice!) I am strong (strong), I am invincible (invincible), I am woman! ~~~~ I have decided to think of forty as nothing more than “halftime.” A chance to head to the locker room to re-group and rest up before I burst onto the field and take the second half by storm. I plan to play out the rest of the game a bit more aggressively, taking a few shots at the end zone, even if it means tossing up a Hail Mary or two!   I wrote the following verse a few years back, but today seems like the perfect day to share it! I hope that it inspires you to stand in your own spotlight~ where you belong!

 You know the feeling~ it comes in that rare moment when you add just the right accessory to your outfit, take that final peek in the mirror, and know that you landed the knockout punch! That feeling that everything came together beautifully and you look and feel like a knockout!!! I love that feeling! But man do I miss that feeling!! I haven’t felt that feeling in while! My summer ponytail and comfy summer smock dresses have served their purpose! But lately I am feeling more like a washed up “has been” than like a champ! I think it’s about time that I get back in the ring!! I am puttng the gloves back on and hitting the heavy bag hard! Time for some knockout digs and maybe even a new do! I’ve got to dig deep and fnd my inner Ali!! Its definitely time to get haute like a butterfly and bling-ed like a bee! How about you? Do you want just a ring side seat or are you willing to take a shot at the title??
