While shooting at the college of medicine a few months back, Annette and I decided that we should do a fundraising campaign for breast cancer. I had always wanted to do a 'mother daughter sister friend' shoot with all the proceeds going to cancer. Being that it is Breast Cancer awareness month, we thought this was a perfect time. Here are Annette and I, the brains behind the operation.
I would like to thank everyone who came out and donated money to our cause, and in doing so got a lovely portrait out of the deal. Here are a few on my favorites:
I have to take a moment to talk about my mom. My mom is pretty special for many reasons. For example, yesterday she defrosted my freezer, cared for my son, and cooked a ham for me. Then came and got a photo with me and helped me carry out my equipment. Of course, all without complaint. When I phoned to thank her in the evening, she finds a way to turn it around and thank me for something. Part of the reason for me wanting to do this is that my mom got diagnosed with cancer 1 1/2 years ago. It's not breast cancer for her, but no matter the cancer we can all relate.
So you ask, how much do I love my mom? Words could never express. She is so beautiful. Here we are yesterday, enjoying each other.
