A little Q and A...

Q:
Hi
I was just checking out your photos and they are amazing! Did you take a special course? I just take my own and was wondering if you have any tips for the way you take yours?
Thanks, Tracy


A:
Thanks! I did apply to go to school but turned it down at the advice of my mentors and my lack of a budget for it at the time. I honestly think it just takes time to find your own groove. Figure out what makes you different from other photographers, and what you have to offer. Check out and study other photographer's photos and find what catches your attention in them and go out and try to apply to same feeling to your photos as well. However, copying is never a good way to go. Keep it original, and unique, and spend time on your editing afterwards.

Hope that helps!

Child Of A Breast Cancer Survivor...

Apparently that's what I am. How about "Child of an amazing woman", "Child of a woman that demonstrated the ultimate limit of selflessness, courage, strength, and perseverance"? That sounds much better. I was 4 weeks pregnant with Chloe when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I remember sitting at the kitchen table at 10:30 at night listening to those "i think it might be it" words being spoken over the phone, only to be confirmed in another phone call about a week later. Who would've thought that a year later, two new grandchildren later, a new marriage later, my mom would still be standing here. I would be able to hug her, and tell her I love her, and how proud I am of her, and be able to do this run for HER with her still STANDING THERE NEXT TO ME!

Our story is not a common one though, sadly, so we ask that you can please donate to the cause and help us NEVER let another wife, mother, child, or family go through this again! You can sponsor me at : https://www.cibcrunforthecure.com/html/p.asp?t=3513959&l=1

Thank you!
