I had the absolute pleasure of photographing for the Susan G. Komen Foundation this week. The local affiliate was kicking off a campaign to Close the Gap

I had a great time the Susan G. Komen foundation staff is awesome, the speakers were amazing and inspiring, and I hope that everyone who reads this will help sign the petition to help Close the Gap!

I want to take the time to tell you about the lovely woman in the photo below Hollen – while I cannot find a photo of her front side, the back will have to do for now

She is an almost 4 year breast cancer survivor, and a friend of mine. Unfortunately we lost touch, but had a wonderful chat today. We just so happened to be battling cancer at almost the same exact time, and didn’t even know it. She has an amazing story, and is full of life, energy and enthusiasm. She is an avid participator in the Race for the Cure (happening this year in Denver on Oct. 5) and her team, Breast Friends. If you would like to donate to her cause, and the Race for the Cure, please contact me directly and I will get you in touch with her.

Hollen, you are truly an inspiration!
