I’m always proud of my work being published with this organization ❤️

💚 JUNE 2026 CALENDAR FEATURE 💚

June is a very important month for us. Not only is it the month of our 4th Annual Breaking The Stigma Charity Car Show, but it is also Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and PTSD Awareness Month.

This month serves as a reminder that mental health challenges can affect anyone. Many people struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, or other mental health concerns may not show obvious signs. Sometimes the people carrying the heaviest burdens are the ones who appear to be doing just fine. That is why checking in on one another, listening without judgment, and being willing to have difficult conversations matters.

To all the men reading this, it's okay to not be okay. Seeking help when you need it is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength. Whether you reach out to a friend, family member, counselor, therapist, or support group, you do not have to face life's challenges alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988, or locally in Lake County call the Crisis Hotline at 440-953-8255.

This month we are proud to feature the recipient of our 2025 Remembrance Award, this beautiful 1965 Corvette Stingray.

The Remembrance Award holds a special place in our hearts. During our very first car show, our family walked the grounds and selected the vehicle we believed would have been our son Corey's favorite vehicle at the event. Since then, we have invited the family of each year's honoree to continue that tradition and select the vehicle they feel best represents their loved one's passion and spirit. It is always an emotional and meaningful moment, and the recipients are consistently honored to receive it.

A special thank you to our June calendar sponsor, Clorice Vines Group at McDowell Real Estate, for supporting our mission and helping us continue these important conversations.

Join us on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Gates open at 10:00 AM.

Presented by All Star Awards & Apparel
In memory of Jo Hrisko
Proceeds benefiting NAMI Lake County, OH

Together we can continue breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging people to seek help when they need it, and reminding everyone that they matter and deserve tomorrow.

COINCIDENCE ? ITS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY, IT'S ALSO WORLD LAUGHTER DAY 💚

From the deep belly laugh from a child, to the faint giggle in the back of a middle school health class, the best medicine for our mental health is always laughter!

If you know me personally you know that I can pretty much walk through any fire with " If you laugh, you wont cry" There is nothing more important in my world then allll the humor it takes to get through it.

Enjoy some laughs I have captured over the years, and try to rememeber to photograph some yourself to look back on when the road gets hard and windy, and you forget how freeing it is to LAUGH OUT LOUD!

Mamas Garden

My grandma ?mama? plants these flowers around our vegetable garden every single year and every single year I wait patiently for them to bloom . The way they look during golden hour takes my breath away every single evening. She raised me and my brothers and sisters and I sit and stare at them and think about the seeds she has sewn for us .
