It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. -HDThoreau The energy of the universe (& Facebook) fascinates me. I volunteered with this woman years ago. I remembered her as put-together, smart, talented, & well-connected. We connected again some years later - six to be exact. I remember because I was going through cancer treatment. So was she....

My 506070+ project just keeps GIVING! I absolutely love when women arrive for their session (often scared about being in front of the camera) and then relax and show their true selves and trust me to photograph their soul.
So wonderful! Thank you, Trish!

(My goal is to photograph 60 women who are 50, 60 70+ this year!)

Amazing Strength-an after cancer experience💜 I was honored to photograph 39 women who completed a sprint triathlon after diagnosis & treatment for cancer. (Cervical, breast, ovarian, skin, thyroid). We are all after crossing the finish line. I’m amazed by their courage & strength. Hand-made iron garden trellises by Joeann Genetti Genetti Gardens

Thanks for those who have checked in on me! I haven't posted here in a while. I've been busy with a personal photography project called Amazing Strength.

After my own cancer, I joined Team Phoenix, a training program to complete a sprint triathlon. In that group, I met 49 incredible teammates, six years worth of Team Phoenix alumni, innovative Doctors, medical staff and the best coaching team around.

I crossed the finish line of the triathlon Redefined, and turned to watch my teammates finish their race. I saw their determination, their strength & courage. They were sweaty, some crying, some laughing, all relieved and Proud. And beautiful.

I knew I had to photograph them - so they could see their strength...their beauty.

The images are complete and will be shared at their Reveal (It's very challenging for me to keep them under wraps!) as the donations on the link below continue to come in! These images will also be in a Gallery Exhibit. Their stories are incredible - the challenges each have overcome would blow your mind. Then, to take on the physical and mental challenges of a triathlon and to cross the finish line...Amazing Strength.

If another woman gets inspired from one of the images, where she relates to an image and thinks, maybe she, too, can move forward, past cancer, I would be happy. These are photos of your mother, your sister, your best friend, your boss...you. Cancer takes so much from a person--it doesn't matter what color you are, how old you are, how many kids or dogs (or both) you have. Team Phoenix was a way we moved forward after cancer. Many found their strength again, some found confidence they never knew they had, they found a sisterhood of incredible women who are the gifts of cancer.

If you'd like to help make a Reveal and Gallery Exhibit happen, would you consider making a donation on the link below?

With gratitude

If there were a way you could show one woman she is beautiful, would you? How about 39 amazing athletes who have gotten through cancer AND completed a sprint triathlon? I was so inspired by my Team Phoenix teammates, I created a personal project. I want them to see their strength, to exist in photog...
